Beautiful sunrise ....

5th November 2021 (Friday)    10.30 .... Jings.... I got that excited, at


the sunrise this morning, that I remembered to go for the paper!     From that you’ll understand that we have a lovely morning at ‘The Centre of the Universe’;   and .... that I have been out on the bike, and had a great time with the camera.    The sky is a wee bit cloudier today but it is also warmer;  it wisnae cauld on the lugs.   I’m going to cut something doon in the garden to celebrate;  after morning coffee.





15.00     I have a lilac tree in the front garden and the annual pruning has been done every year for the past 20 years;  and every year I say to myself ... “Albert my boy, get the Bushman saw out and get rid of this tree... it never floo’ers”.   And every year I change my mind;   why?.... cause ‘Blob’ (and descendants of Blob) use it as a perch.    Guess what.... the non-flowering lilac tree still be there next year.    Anyway it has been pruned.... and the pruning cut into small bits to fit into the Broon bucket.    I’m having a (well earned) cuppa before bumbling up to Chapel Green. 

Elie High Street.

17.00    There was never going to be a visible sunset tonight due to low cloud, but.... the sky was interesting.    And I got a load o’ fresh air as there was a brisk breeze.   I was surprised to see a few folk out on the beach, as it wasn’t very warm.   The dogs were enjoying the walk.





20.00    I heard a few fireworks in the distance;  and that reminded me that I’d intended going up to Chapel Green to take some photos;  oh well there’s always next year.

I see that we are forecast to have ‘strong winds and rain’ tomorrow;   I hope the rain is

Tonight's sunset.

of the shower kind.... and they miss us.   It’s going to be a frisky wind right enough.... F8.    Should make for interesting wave shots;  if it isn’t raining.  If it is windy and wet, tomorrow will be a ‘rest day’.... any work will be of the computer kind.    I’m pleased with what I did in the garden today;  it also means that the ‘broon bucket’ is three quarters full.... and the space remaining is for kitchen rubbish over the next two weeks.  It’s time to make the chocolate, and find something to watch on the tele.

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
