Waiting for sunny intervals ....


28th August 2018 (Tuesday) .... 08.30    The weather forecast for Elie and Earlsferry is ‘overcast with sunny intervals’:  we have the ‘overcast’,  (it’s heavily
A 'sunny interval' .....
overcast) ... we now need the ‘sunny intervals’;   in fact one would do,  as in the whole day long.    I do intend painting the shed, at least a bit of it, but I’ll wait for the sunny interval.


12.00     So far the ‘sunny interval’ has been the one that I got a picture of... and it didn’t last long.    I’ve been up for the paper, and had coffee with Myra, Jim and Geoff, but the paint tin remains unopened.... it's quite cold just now.    The sky is beginning to brighten so I might get some painting done after lunch.

The Ferry beach.

22.00   The weather did brighten up in the afternoon, but not enough for me to risk painting.   However I did enjoy taking some family photographs;  and I‘m very pleased with the results.   All I have to do is sort them out, deleting any OOF ones etc, and get them onto a Memory Stick.    I should get that done tonight/tomorrow morning. 
I had a walk along the dunes to see if there was anyone about but it was quiet.... so I went back to Ivy and contemplated painting.   The forecast is better for tomorrow....  after some overnight/early morning rain.

Jim has reminded me that the ‘Colinsburgh Lite Lunch’ resumes tomorrow, after the Summer break;  as does the ‘Drop in Cafe’ on Thursday.    Things are getting back to normal after the summer holidays.   And there’s more good news;  ‘JB’ is coming up, for 10 days, at the beginning of October.  
 
As I said earlier the weather forecast is good for tomorrow;  proper sunny spells after
The 'toon' hall' spire.
midday.    I certainly feel like getting the paint out, but it all depends on the weather.
‘Plan’ for tomorrow?    I’ll have daunder along the beach at some point... again that’s weather dependent.   The ‘Colinsburgh Lunch’ takes care of ... ‘lunch’, and there’s the papers, and morning coffee in Harbour House in the morning:     also today’s photographs to finish off.    Yes an interesting, and fairly busy, day ahead tomorrow.

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
