Nice sunrise sky ....

11th October 2021 (Monday)    09.30 .... I went to the beach to catch the


sunrise, on what is a quiet and quite warm morning.    The actual sunrise was hidden by low cloud, with the sun appearing above the cloud about ten minutes after ‘sunrise’ (07.34).   The beach was busier than I’d expected it to be, with walkers.... and swimmers.   The sky has clouded over since then and is mostly overcast;  it looks like we could have showers in the afternoon.

15.30   I had a migraine (made the chocolate too strong last night) so had a couple of pills, and they took the frisky out of me before lunch;  but  I’ve been along to Ardross on a shopping mission;  and have got all the ingredients read to make a batch o’ Cottage Pie ready meals.   I’ll have another cuppa then set about making the pies.  

We had a few sunny spells around midday but the sky has darkened in the last hour or so and it now looks like we could a ‘chance of precipitation’.   I’m orf to make that cuppa.


21.30    I’d just finished sorting out the dishes in the kitchen when the door bell rang this evening:  I got a pleasant surprise when I went to door, and found Heather, Ray and Alistair, who had dropped in for a chat.... and a mug of  my world famous coffee.   The evening went quickly;  I did a lot of talking.... Heather, Ray and Alistair did a lot of listening.   It was a very enjoyable evening.   I’ve just remembered that I have to press the button on the dishwasher.   That’s done..... and I made the chocolate at the same time.

Michael phoned to tell me that the aurora should be active around us tonight, but with


thick cloud over us the aurora won’t be visible.   The cloud is going to be with us tomorrow too; ‘light rain with a gentle breeze’ is the forecast for us, so not a pretty day;  though the sun might break through by evening time.

I’ve no ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  I’m thinkin’ I should have gone ‘out to play’ today and worked in the kitchen tomorrow.   I have plenty typing to do so I might catch up with that;  and there’s things I need to research online.   Loads to do;  I feel tired at the thought of it all.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
