Lovely morning ....

6th August 2017 (Sunday) .... 10.00    The ‘auld place’ is looking gorgeous, on what is a lovely, ‘bright and sunny’ morning.    Sadly the weather forecast for the
"Pursuit" (St Monans) setting a creel in the trinq.

afternoon is .... ‘rain’;  so nothing new there then! .... and... this probably means that I’ll get wet .... again!     Anyway ... forget the weather;  when I was up at Chapel Green the creel boat "Pursuit", from St Monans came into the ‘trinq’ to set a creel:  it’s not often I see them in there....  it was a small, ‘old style’ boat, perfect for photographs!    
20.00    Once again the best  weather was in the early part of the ‘day’... up to 13.00  more or less;  then it started to cloud over,... eventually beginning to rain, on and off, about 14.00 .... as per weather forecast.    It looks like clearing away to a better late evening sometimes, but I wouldn’t bet on it.    The forecast for tomorrow is slightly better .... more sunny spells... but I’m

going to wait to see what’s happening with the tomorrow’s weather, before I make a ‘plan’.    This has been a disappointing ‘summer’ so far;   however we might get a more settled spell, with loads of sunshine, in September.

I got a pleasant surprise at the sailing Club today.... there were prizes for the winners.    I won two tickets for a trip out on Mike’s RIB;  the trip take’s in Kincraig Cliffs, Wester Voes seals, Lady’s tower... and along to St Monans.    I’m looking forward to that.... but who do I take with me?   A big ‘Thank You” to the business’s who donated the prizes, to Largo Camera Club and the Sailing club who, between them, organised the Exhibition.    Especial thanks to Marilyn (Club Commodore), who makes

really tasty scones by the way, and Lorraine ;  who both put in a power of work in front of, and behind the scenes.

There was much going on at the harbour today, especially when the weather was ‘bright sunny and warm’:  in fact the wind dropped away and we had reflections of everything on and around the water.   I managed to get a few photographs.
Today I was able to avoid getting wet, .... by keeping a ‘weather eye open’ and acting in time to get home before the rain.

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

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
