Amazing sky .....

6th December 2017 (Wednesday) ... 09.30    My word .... we had a cracker of  a sunrise sky this morning, albeit of the “Red sky in the morning” kind .....
..... it was like being in a dream!
not a good omen.      There is a strong wind already, but stronger winds are forecast for tomorrow:  a ‘batten the hatches down’ day tomorrow  by all accounts.    Anyway, forget all that;   watching the sky change was brilliant, and it wasn’t too cold, even though it’s windy.    I’m a happy ‘bunny’.... now I need to have breakfast!
19.30     Welllll .... we have had a ‘mostly grey and breezy’ day but at least we only had a few spits and spots of rain.    I’ve had  fairly busy day.   After breakfast I joined Myra, Jim and Geoff for coffee at Harbour House;   and got the papers.    That reminds me I have yet to open them.    I also put up the strings that I hang my Christmas cards on because cards are beginning to appear in the post now.

Elie harbour in the afternoon.
With the weather being a bit on the iffy side I took the car to the harbour in the afternoon;  but first I went to Harbour House because a Christmas decoration I bought wasn’t working;  it errr .... the battery had to be inserted.    I had a cappuccino, and a piece of gingerbread, to celebrate this.     The decoration is now working perfectly!    Oh ... I forgot to mention it came with the battery... all I had to do was fit it.

Once again I walked across to West Bay in the late afternoon... walking into a stiff breeze, but it wasn’t cold.     I can do this now, four months ago I’d have been struggling.    I could see that it was raining towards the West of Fife, but we were fine... albeit overcast.    Grey days aren’t very heartening, though they can have some
The Toft... this afternoon.
interesting clouds... especially if there’s a wind.   The problem being that you have to find either, a sheltered spot or a place to lean on, from which to take the photos.
Tomorrow is forecast to be windy;  in point of fact, there’s a ‘Yellow’ warning for gale force winds, so it’s not going to be ‘windy’, it’s going to be ‘very windy’, ... but rain isn’t mentioned. 
  

We have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon... I must remember to take a teaspoon along for the Christmas tree.      There’s an exhibition of Christmas trees, by different groups in the villages, in the Kirk Hall... I’m not sure if it’s this weekend or next.    I’d better find out .... there’ s  sure to be coffee going.

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
