Feeling animated


31st March 2018 (Saturday)     09.30 .... I’m feeling fairly animated this morning;   alas, the weather is not suitable for playing outside:   being ‘dull with rain’,
It looks cold .... and it was!
now and again’.    The wind has backed to the Northeast, and it is cold, ....  but, easier to breathe.     I’ll have a bumble down to the beach after breakfast;   choosing my time with care.... to miss the  showers.     You never know we might get a sunny spell later;    having said that,   I don’t think the bike will be coming out today at all.    Orf to have breakfast, having overslept .... again.    This is perfect ‘sleeping in’ weather.


11.30     I’ve yet to get to the beach, but I have been working on the computer.    As expected, the villages are busy with holiday makers:   I know this because I see ‘strangers’ walking on Ferry Road, .... strangers wearing waterproofs etc.   This is not holiday weather.    I’m going to see if it’s dry enough to go to the beach;  we’re having
Sea Tangle 'road' this afternoon.
a brighter spell (paler shade of grey) just now.


17.30     I did get out for a walk;    in fact I did the ‘roond the Chapel, and home by the beach’ walk, which works out at just under 2 kilometres, so I’m a happy bunny;   and a slightly cauld one.    It did threaten to rain at one point but it never came too much.    There were a lot of ‘strangers’ out walking;   taking advantage of the quieter spell of weather.    Anne was the only other local that I met.   
It was high tide by the time I got to the beach part of the walk, so I walked along the bents.    It’s a 5.8 metre tide today (and tomorrow) and there are some big rollers coming in.     With the wind being off the Northeast the waves aren’t as destructive as they were last week.
19.30     It certainly has not been ‘holiday’ weather so far this Easter .... in fact the
Earlsferry High Street.
weather  on Good Friday, and today has been downright miserable:  but, I have been able to get going with two ‘projects’ on the computer... and had a walk on both days.   It’s definitely an ill wind that doesn’t blow somebody some good.    Is spite of the weather I am content.


Tomorrow morning, at 08.15, we have an Easter Service at Elie Harbour:  the weather forecast for tomorrow is cold and mostly dry, with sunny spells .... after an early touch of frost.    We’ll be glad to get up to, and into, the kirk hall for breakfast;  which follows immediately after the harbour service!

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
