Bonnie sunrise sky ....

16th January 2025 (Thursday)     09.00 .... Unfortunately I was still in my 'loungers' at sunrise

time or I would have gone to the beach to get the brilliant sunrise sky.    I did think about donning a jacket and going down, but common sense prevailed!   (Doesn't always)!    Anyway we had a gorgeous sky, at the start of what is forecast to be a "sunny with moderate breeze" day.... but slightly cooler.

11.30     Temporary traffic lights have been set up on Ferry Road;  and it's to do with cabling, not the roof of No3 Flat.  It's part of the same work as is going on in th  Ferry High Street.   My car is now moored up round at the 19th... that reminds me;  I'm going round there for lunch at 13.00.   Oh ... there's definitely a chillier feel to the air today.

20.30   Lunch at the 19th was very enjoyable:  the food and service was excellent.   Kirsty and I had Chicken Balmoral, and Myra had Fish 'n Chips.  There's a friendly atmosphere about the revamped 19th Hole, and it is immaculately clean.   The first place I look is the shelves behind the bar; the bottles and glassware were gleaming.    The kitchen area has been much improved with the addition of a wooden  wall that makes the kitchen seem ... well more kitchen like, and more separate from the dining area, though you can still watch the Chef at work.  Again the glass was immaculate.  There's something more 'classy' about it now, though it is much the same physically.   Very comfy, with friendly Staff ... and clean.   I like to see clean and shiny glassware;  I think it's from my Craw's Nest days!.... The 'Clarke Family' set very high standards!.... throughout the Hotel and especially so in the kitchen.   Every 'pub', Hotel or restaurant etc I go into the first thing I look at is the glass!  And behind curtains!

22.30    I don't actually know what is going on at the Ferry Road Sub Station but that's where the work is going to happen.   It's the third time that trench has been dug up in the past 18 months.  It will be interesting to see is the traffic lights are there over the weekend.   Somebody has to be paying for all this; and it won't be cheap.
I'm feeling tired tonight, and that's after falling sound asleep in the afternoon when I got back home after lunch.   I might have a sleep in tomorrow morning.

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
