Peaceful morning.....

25th November 2021 (Thursday)   09.30 ....  we have another ‘bright and


sunny’ morning, but the air is chillier;   That said, it’s a lovely day for wrapping up and going out.    I’ve been to the beach to catch the sunrise;  it was bonnie but not one of those spectacular sunrises:  it was a very calm and peaceful start to the day.   I’ve yet to go for the paper but I’m going up after10.00 ‘cos I have a prescription to pick up.




18.00   Early morning was the best part of the day;  the sky clouded over mid morning and there has been a raw wind most of the day.    I had a successful shopping mission to the ‘Store’  (Anstruther) in the morning;   I say successful because I ended up with a lot more than I went for;  yes... the odd goodie found its way into the trolley.    I also remembered to go to the ‘paper shop’,  and to pick up the prescription from the chemist.   ‘The Boy’ was very organised this morning.   


The afternoon was ‘different’.    At one point the wind moderated and I thought about getting the bike out, but decided that it was too cold, so louped into the car and went up to the ‘hole in the wall’ to get some money.   Although I had the camera with me I didn’t go anywhere.... all I wanted was to get back to Ivy and a hot cuppa.    I have a load of this morning’s sunrise photographs to keep me occupied this evening.

The raw wind has freshened, as I found out when I put the ‘green’ bucket out just now: and .... it is not an evening for taking photos of stars.  I shall settle down in front of the tele after I Skype ‘M’ at 19.00.  

20.00    There’s strong winds forecast (Amber warning) for us tomorrow afternoon, and


through until Saturday morning;  as soon as the mechanic picks up the car, I’ll loup on the bike, pick up and pay the papers, then get back to Ivy and settle down for the day;  taking a few ‘sunrise time’ photos on the way.   I’m lovin’ the light and clouds we have at sunrise time just now;  though I do understand that folk can get fed up of the ‘same thing’ every morning;  which is why I’m not putting them on FB just now.   Must go ‘slight flap on’;   got to browse the tele Channels.

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
