Quiet morning ....

20th November 2021 (Saturday)      06.30 .... It’s a quiet morning... apart



from ‘Blob’, who was twittering away on top of the Rowan tree;  he’s now on top of the ‘broon’ bucket picking up digestive biscuit crumbs.   That’s my whole extent of feeding the bird(s), quarter of a crumbled up digestive biscuit for ‘Blob.

The sky is overcast (the starts weren’t visible) with a light breeze, and it’s warm.    Sunny spells are mentioned for the afternoon... and the temperature drop overnight.

17.30    We had a cracker of a sunrise sky and I was on the beach to enjoy it;  as was Chris and ‘Skye’.   I spent my time between the beach and the bench catching,...  well ....what was a kaleidoscope of colour for nearly an hour.   It was magic.     After I came off the beach I had to loup on the bike and go for the paper;  then up to Chapel Green to get a few pictures of Saipem 7000, the huge  crane, that’s in the Firth just now.    There was fresh Force 5 wind at that time, but it wasn’t cold, and in spite of the wind I managed to get decent photos of Saipem.   

Saipem 7000.

18.30     I’ve just been out at the bucket and already the air has a more seasonal feel to it; it’s cold.   I spent most of the afternoon browsing and sorting out this morning’s batch of photographs;  I never get bored looking through new photos of  our villages:   I would that Elie and The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry, plus the surrounding area is highly photogenic.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
