(Wednesday) .... 10.30    We have a nice foggy, dreich morning!     What do you do on ‘nice dreich foggy mornings’?    Go out and get some nice ‘dreich, foggy photographs’ of course!    Well... that’s what I did.    Bunged the
Kilconquhar
wellies in the car boot then took orf for Kilconquhar where there’s stubble field that  you can wander through and get a different angle on things.     That is “iggzactly” what I did.     I’m pleased enough with the resulting photographs, but not with the wet feet, having left the wellies in the boot.    I get excited when I see what I want to ‘get on with’.... and tend to forget mundane things like putting on wellies.    I’m happy!    “Puku” isn’t:   happy i.e.     “Puku” is looking forward to the ‘Lunch” in the Colinsburgh Town Hall today, but lunch time seems an awfie long way orf!
22.00     I suppose we have to admit it;   the weather was horrid today.     We had fog with light rain that turned to fog with heavy rain by mid-afternoon .... not ‘pretty’
Kilconquhar
weather at all.   Yet, in spite of the weather, I have had a lot of enjoyment ‘today’;  even getting my feet wet, though unwelcome, was worth it for the photos I got. 

  The ‘Lunch’ at Colinsburgh was, as all our EKC Church events are, excellent, with the company, food, and happy banter, more than making up for the miserable weather outside:  in fact you’d have thought the sun was shining going by the noise in Colinsburgh Town Hall this lunchtime!   I blame Lexie for that!       

Tomorrow I have an early start as “Sooper Buggy” is going to “George’s Garage” in St Monans.    One of the tyres is losing pressure and needs ‘topping up’ every 48 hours, so that’s going to be fixed.   (Probably a nail).     From St Monans I’m taking the X60 bus to Kirkcaldy, where I’ll spend the morning, and have lunch.    By the time I
Colinsburgh
get back to St Monans the car should be fixed.... and I might even be back in time to go to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ on the way home.     

The weather forecast for tomorrow is better;  sunny after midday (maybe).    The sun makes a big difference as to how we ‘feel’.    I enjoyed myself today because I was out to get ‘wet’ photographs;   but I much prefer going after ‘sunny’ ones.

Photographs : Top – Kilconquhar, Middle – Kilconquhar, and Bottom – Colinsburgh, East End;   all three taken today.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

 5th October 2023 (Thursday)     09.30.... The crock pot has been fired up with a batch o’ Scotch Broth, George’s bucket has been put out for tomorrow morning....I have had breakfast, and now on my third cuppa of the morning; hoping for a stress free day.   The past two days were not stress free. Yesterday began really well.... I got the car insurance sorted, and was   settling down to check FB.    I saw a photograph captioned ‘Seal on a floe .... or was it?’   Being inquisitive I ‘clicked’ on it;   and that   was it .... flashing warnings all over the computer screen.     I’d been hacked.   A small window appeared purporting to be from Microsoft Security so I clicked on that and got an 0800 number to phone;    which I did and was answered by an Indian.     That’s when I should have pulled the plug on the computer.    However, h e as very   plausible so I began to follow his instructions for a few minutes... then  began to get suspicious;   especially when he began to insist that I

Cold and overcast ....

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
