Bonnie sunrise ....

17th January 2022 (Tuesday)     09.30.... Beautiful sunrise this morning;  I’d


have gone to the beach but I was only in my loungers so caught the sky from Ferry Road.    It is a a bonnie morning.... there a touch of frost, with a light NW breeze.

A strange thing happened this morning;  I found a message on the answer machine timed at 06.20 (today) but the message was garbled;  it sounded like someone talking Mandarin.    The strange thing was that didn’t hear the phone ringing .... and I take the handset through to my bedside table at night.  I'm hard of hearing but not totally deaf!

21.30    My word it has been bitterly cold today.... but I did go out in the car.   I made an appointment to have a haircut (that’s happening tomorrow)..... and had a couple of visits to the harbour... but didn’t hang around;  on both visits.


On my afternoon trip to the harbour I was got a decent photo of the ‘Eddystone’, a RO RO cargo vessel.  She is making for Sorreisa in Norway;   which explains why she was on our side of the Firth.

Iain and Jackie had a good fall on snow last night.... and are forecast to get more tonight.    They can work from home luckily, because they certainly won’t get into the office,  which is at Aberdeen harbour.

Having stripped the single bed I now need a decent drying day for the bed linen... and tomorrow could be that day.   In fact the next couple of days could be good drying days.

I’m thinking that I might have been a bit hasty in having my haircut tomorrow I might


have been better hanging on to my home grown blanket until this cold spell has passed.   And there’s a Lite Bite Lunch at Colinsburgh tomorrow at 12.30 so I’m going to have leave the lunch early to make my haircut appointment in time.

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
