Dreich morning .....

17th June 2017 (Friday) .... 08.30   .... we have another grey and wet morning...  not the kind of weather that has the ‘get up and go’ feel to it.    Then again,
Earlsferry from the 3rd tee
if this happened somewhere in Africa, where they hadn’t seen wetness for nigh on a year, the locals would get really really excited;   even more excited than we would  be when/if we see the sun!   At least we don’t have to worry about being thirsty!

I haven’t been ‘out’ further than the gate.. when I put out the ‘broon’ bucket .... .....  and I didn’t get overly animated doing that.    There are paler bits appearing in the general greyness:  it’s either that, or I’m going to have a migraine!     Orf to have a cuppa then I’ll get ready for a meeting up at Kinneuchar.
21.30    The weather has been fairly miserable, most of the time, today;  however it is slightly brighter at this time, and the weather forecast for tomorrow is much better ... so much so that it might be ‘summer time’.... as in the whole of it.    ‘Summer i.e.    We should see the sun at times tomorrow.

Luckily enough I had other things to do today, which involved being inside most of the time.    Our meeting at Kinneuchar was a success, and  I’m beginning to feel more active again re the marsh.    Irene and I made coffee /tea at the end of the meeting, which I was the bit I wasn’t sure about.    Now that I know how everything ‘works’, I’ll use this for our meetings from now on.
I’d just got back to Ivy, when Jimmy and Jim turned up.... it was cuppa time.     We chatted, mostly about Jo Cox, the MP, being murdered;   it’s so shocking.   There’s something far wrong when a MP can’t go about their business safely in our country.
I went out for a walk around the Pony Field in the evening;  it was still spitting rain at
3rd Green
the time, and there were heavy showers rattling along the ‘sooth side’, but it was nice being ‘out’.   The countryside is looking ‘green’ after all rain we’ve had;  even though it hasn’t been ‘heavy’ it has been persistent!
There’s the Annual Episcopal Church Coffee Morning in the Church Hall tomorrow;   I’ll wander along to that in the morning sunshine.    Might even wear my shorts!

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

Warm and damp ....

4th October 2023 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... there’s been light rain overnight and the forecast is ‘strong winds and rain’, but it’s not raining at the moment.... and it’s warm.   I think I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) before rain arrives.... the wind freshens.  Slight ‘flap on’. 09.30 .... Go out before the wind freshened?.... it was already F6 (at the Breakwater) when I was out.   Guess who didn’t go down to the harbour!   That said even at the Breakwater the wind was warm.   I didn’t stop at the Breakwater, in fact I couldn’t stop.... the wind blew me half way along South Street and I was up on The Terrace in ‘nae time’.     I managed to stop, at my usual place, and take a few photos before heading for the shelter of the High Street... and the ‘paper shop’.    The streets were quiet and I thought about going up to Chapel Green but decided give CG a miss today.....   and have drawing day. 22.45    My computer was  hacked this morning and I am going to use the wee laptop until Ia
