Overcast morning ...

18th February 2017 (Saturday) .... 09.00   we have drab looking morning, but not that cold in spite of a brisk wind from the Southwest.    I know all this
Sunrise time at Elie.
because I went down to see the sunrise (07.31), but I didn’t...  (see the sunrise) because there was a bank of cloud on the Eastern horizon.     Nevertheless, even though the ‘sunrise’ wasn’t visible there was a bit of colour in the sky .... and loads of fresh Elie and Earlsferry air!


I’m sure you will be happy to know that the microwave porridge was a complete success this morning.....  three, minutes and ten seconds takes it up to ‘the point of overflowing’ ... a quick stir, then back in again for another 20 seconds, and that’s it.   A bigger bowl would be ideal but I don’t think I have one.    That said, there most likely is one, .... Maggie had everything that any kitchen needs!    Oh no ....  it’s getting awfie ‘rainy’ looking from the West;   just when I was going out for a walk!
21.30     This ‘boy’ has been a busy ‘boy’ today;   catching up with all the paperwork, and most of the housework, that was waiting for me when I got home.    
It takes me about five days to acclimatise after I come home, and it’s the same when I
'Our' beach.
arrive in Sussex.    I’ve been going to my bed early, and sleeping like a log for the past few nights,... I reckon I should be back to normal after another early night tonight.    I could go to my bed at 20.00 and sleep through till Wallace and Gromit time... 06.45.
Although I did a lot of ‘work’ today, I did manage to go for a ‘roond the Chapel’ walk in the morning.    After lunch I went along to Elie to post a letter and met Jimmy who was out in his car so we went down to the harbour.    There was a lot of folks at the harbour.... most of them taking photographs because there was a bonnie, if threatening, sky.    That’s one thing about digital photography, it has opened the door to everyone
Earlsferry from the harbour.
taking loads of photos:  and the added pleasure of ‘playing’ with them (the photos) on the computer.
It’s forecast to be bright and breezy tomorrow .... and warmer, though there may be a chance of showers in the afternoon.

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

Quiet morning ....

 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
