Beautiful morning ....

 14th March 2025 (Friday)     08.30 ..... I missed the partial eclipse  of the moon.   I checked to

Grangehill.
see if the moon was visible at 01.15 (it was).... went back to bed, and didn't wake up again until 06.15, by which time the eclipse was over, and the moon setting.  I had a good night's sleep!  The next eclipse (partial again in the UK) will be in September.   

We have a lovely, sunny morning at Elie and Earlsferry;  there is a chill in the air, with a moderate NE breeze.   It it will be warm sheltered from the wind, and feel warmer than it did yesterday even out in the open when the sun is higher!

10.15    The wind has freshened, which I'm happy about because I have a washing on the line.   On the other hand, I need the wind to moderate later in the afternoon, so that it's warmer when  biking!   Ferry Road has been busy (traffic) this morrrrrning;  could be a busy weekend ahead.   Oops .... a migraine has just kicked in;  better take the pills.

20.30    The 'troops' have a bed to sleep in; but, my word, it's getting harder to make up the bed.... especially getting the downie into it's cover.   Anyway at least they have abed to sleep in!   

It doesn't take a migraine to have me sleeping in the afternoon but I slept for nearly an hour and a half this afternoon.   I'm blaming the migraine but it might have been the wrestling with the downie!

The wind quietened down later in the afternoon so I got the bike out, but with the migraine still bothering me, I only went as far as 'Sea Tangle road' .... and the seat at the sixth green.   It was pleasant sitting in the sun but the light breeze wasn't warm.

22.30    It's a bonnie evening, with a clear sky showing all the star constellations clearly.   They would look even better up on the golf course, but I can see some of them from the patio.  Orion is always good at this time of year.   The air is chilly so we could wake up to  a frost in the morning.

I haven't had as productive a day as I planned; I spent a lot of time dozing;  most likely caused by the

migraine.   I've made the Horlicks and taken the pills so I'm ready for bed.  

According to the Weather forecast we're to have sunny intervals with light winds.... and cold for this time of year.

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
