Much rain, and melting snow = flooding


 5th March 2018 (Monday)....08.00      Today we have rain, and tomorrow’ is forecast rain.... perhaps even heavier than today;  so.... I imagine that flooding will
Kilconquhar .... this morning.
be the next problem.    It is very grey, and very wet.   Not pretty weather, but it is clearing the snow.    I will venture down to the harbour (by car) for a scenery change, and .... I might even go as far as Kinneuchar, though it’s not really a morning for bumbling about outside.     Actually my knees and hips are only now recovering, from my walking around in the snow, so I’m not that bothered by not being able to wander around;   I can’t!    The sore hips, and knees, is (probably) why I’ve been  feeling under the weather for the past couple of days.    Must go ‘slight flap on’ .... I want to have another cuppa before going down to the harbour.    The run to the harbour, via the ‘Paper Shop’ is my way of warming up the car.
The burgers are ready ......
11.00     I am going to have ‘Hutte Finest Morning Coffee’ .... and a chocolate biscuit!    That is naughty (the biscuit)... but it’s a chocolate biscuit kind of morning.     I’ve been to the ‘Paper Shop’, the harbour, and the Surgery to have blood taken, then, finally, up to Kinneuchar;  the general impression is that everything, and everywhere, outside, is wet.... and not overly warm.     Yes .... it’s a stay in kind of day;     it will be computer things today.
16.30    Wellll .... as far the weather went, it has been a dreary sort of day;  certainly not a day for bumbling about on the beach.     I am renowned for doing stupid things, but even I have not been on the beach today.    And yet, when we a dog I went out in all weathers .... and enjoyed it.    But I have been browsing the beach via the computer. 
..... and I like burgers!
  Reading my book came to mind, but that’s a bedtime thing;   and I couldn’t be bothered
going to my bed.   I fell asleep in front of the tele instead.

 19.30     Tomorrow we have another day of wet weather from the East, before the wind backs to the West .... to give us a change:   hopefully a change that includes, at least, a few ‘sunny spells’.       I have a Dental appointment in Anstruther tomorrow, so that will be a change of scene;   it’s only a check up so shouldn’t take long.    As far as I can make out the rain is going to be heavier tomorrow, so I won’t be going out on Anstruther pier;  in fact I won’t be doing very much in the way of walking at all.      

I’m off to see what I can find on the tele ..... there’s bound to be something that will attract my attention for an hour or two.

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
