Eureka .... sunshine!


19th March 2018 (Monday)......  09.30    We have a gorgeous morning;   sunny with some clouds, and not quite as windy, though still from the East.     I
Lovely morning.
have been for a walk on the beach, only as far as the ‘black wa’... and was happy to be able to bumble about the beach again.    Much sand has been moved by the tides over the past 10 days.    The ‘Schooner Dub’ has been nigh on converted to a beach. ... and the ‘black wa’ bedrock has been exposed.  
I’d better go and have breakfast;  I knew there was something I had to do, before I go for the paper.


19.30    What a difference a sunny day makes:  loads of ‘feel good factor’ and the urge
Elie beach.
to do things.    My face;  and the backs of my delicate hands, feel as if they have a touch of sunburn!    That’s because I have been on the beach three times today, two times on the main beach, and once on the harbour beach.    And it has been sunny.    In point of fact, it was warm in the sun when sheltered from the wind;    which was from the Northeast today, but not as strong as it has been for the past few days.    In between going to the beach I did a washing ..... ‘cos it’s been a good drying day.... and they (drying days)  have been few, and very far between lately.    A ‘good drying day’ is forecast for tomorrow so I might take advantage of that and do another wash.
The villages are quite busy with holiday makers;   elderly folk mostly.   I’m enjoying
The Ferry beach.
talking to people from all over the UK.    Oh that reminds me;  this is “National Conversation Week”:    we are encouraged to converse more.  Converse more?    Mmmmmm, I wonder, could I do that? ..... will I be able to overcome my natural shyness?    It is only for a week;  so I should manage that.

You know how I’ve been moanin’ about having a sair knee:   the funny thing is when I’m out with the camera, it, the sair knee(?)  .... is forgotten about, and I hardly even feel it.   And I did a lot of pottering around on the beaches today!    Having said that it is stiff tonight!    I think I’m ready to go to Shell Bay woods, with Jim and ‘SD’ sometime, to see how I get on there.

 Boat Wynd... the West end of the Ferry beach..
We have had lovely weather today, and the forecast is, for tomorrow’s weather to be slightly better.... the wind is backing to the Northwest.      I have an eye test at Anstruther tomorrow afternoon.    The morning will be spent on the beach .... and sorting out The Hutte.

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
