Warm ... but misty ....


27th June 2018 (Wednesday) .... 09.30     Although misty and overcast, it is a nice morning at the Centre of the Universe.    I’ve been on the beach:   the tide was
Earlsferry.    Welll .... a wee bit if Earlsferry from the rocks.
way out so I enjoyed an hour pottering along the edge of the tide.     There is a light easterly breeze, but not enough to make any noticeable difference to the temperature.    It’s warm.... and ... when the sun breaks through it will be hot.     Anyway I’ve had a decent walk... albeit a slow one.
   

21.30    I’ve had a reasonably busy day;  not ‘working’ I hasten to add.... more your sort of “playing, and finding out about things” sort of day.   The sun did eventually burn the haar back to give us a bonnie summer’s day. Unfortunately the easterly breeze became frisky and it was cool on the beach.    Having said that as long as you were out of the wind;  such as a wind break.... you’d be fine.
  
Afternoon on the beach.
After breakfast I went to Elie for the papers;   and ‘morning coffee’ in Harbour House with the ‘troops’.      The coffee shop was busy, with visitors browsing the gifts etc. .... this means that the villages are busy with early holiday makers.   The big influx begins next week.... I think.

It may have been cool on the Ferry beach, but it was anything but cool up at Colinsburgh:   this was the ‘Colinsburgh Lite Lunch’ day.   Actually you don’t have to travel very far inland before you leave the haar, and the cool wind, behind:   Kinneuchar was bright and warm and that’s less than a mile inland.   The ‘Lite Lunch’ was (as it always is) scrumptious.    I had mushroom soup then rhubarb with custard....  followed by coffee/tea, with strawberry tarts.   That took care of ‘food’ for today.

Back in the Royal Burgh I went to the beach, more or less to find out how busy, and
The Earlsferry end of the beach.
how cold it was.   It was fairly busy, but couple of groups had windshields up and were enjoying the sun, and there were a few walkers out.    Not many dogs today.   The haar was bumbling ‘in and out’ so I didn’t linger, and went home to watch the football:  Germany v South Korea.     I don’t particularly like this stage of the competition.    Anyway I woke up to find Germany had been eliminated.
Tomorrow is forecast to be another bonnie day, though we might be plagued with the haar in the afternoon ... again.    I think I’ll have a day of ‘rest’... pottering around the garden etc.

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

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
