'Cosy glow' sunrise ....

2nd January 2022 (Sunday)    10.30 .... we have another lovely start to the


day.... albeit a wee bit cooler than yesterday.   We had a ‘cosy glow’ sunrise on Elie and Earlsferry beach;  one of those magical, peaceful, sunrises that had me dreamin’.   It looks like it’s going to be another bonnie day, though cooler than yesterday:  which was the warmest New Years’ Day (UK) since records began.    I think I’ll have a walk up to the golf course after morrrrrrrrning coffee for a change of scene.


19.38    I’ve had a lazy day;  I never got to the golf course, in fact I never went out in the afternoon, I ended up watching a film and sorting out some of the many photographs I’ve taken over the past few days.   I did look out to see how busy the street was .... it was busy so I decided to go out later, then got carried away on the computer.   I also checked out the total number of photos take in 2021, which averaged out at 3678 per month.   Down on the beach, when the light is changing all the time, it’s impossible not to take photographs.   That total is less than I thought it would be, considering where we live, and that taking photographs has been my way of coping with COVID.  I must check out year 2019 and see what the total was for that year.   I did all this when I was backing up my photographs onto external hard drives.


I intend going to the beach first thing again tomorrow;  but might ‘spread my wings’ a bit later in the day if the streets are quieter;  and the weather amenable.     The forecast is for ‘light rain and a fresh breeze’.... hmmmm ... that probably means my ‘wings won’t be stretched’.   Oh well,  I’ll have another restful day.   I’m really tired again tonight so it will be another early night in bed;  I’m useless after a late night such as Hogmanay.   Usually I go to bed at 22.00 and read my book, answering the phone in bed.   This year I found the Ceilidh  from Stornoway, which went on until 01.30;  it was like the old fashioned Hogmanay’s on the tele.

I think it’s time to make the chocolate, then 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
