Colourful pre- sunrise sky ....


24th October 2018 (Wednesday) .... 09.00    We had a spectacular pre
Pre- sunrise sky over Elie Bay.
sunrise sky this morning;  loads of colour ... not a good sign I know... but awfie bonnie.    We have a grand morning;  the wind has dropped to an acceptable light breeze,.... a pleasant day for being out in.   There’s an oxymoron for you!    Actually the sky is overcast just now, but I don’t think rain is forecast for our area.... though it is moving into the far Northwest.   We’re down for ‘sunny with a fresh breeze’.   
I’m in  a ‘working’ kind of mood this morning:  that could rapidly change.    It doesn’t take much to divert me.   I’ve got a load of photographs to ‘play’ with.

Sunset sky over Kincraig.
1.00    Welllll .... I’ve got a load more photographs to ‘play’ with after tonight’s sunset:  it was a cracker.    So much for “red sky in the morning etc”;  twelve hours later we have “red sky at night etc”.   I suppose that’s Scottish weather at its best;  it cannae make its mind up what to be!     I’m enjoying the sun rising and setting just now.... and ....  I’m now looking forward to a bonnie day tomorrow!

Tomorrow I’ll have to go up for my paper early:  the new bed is being delivered ‘sometime’ on Thursday.    I’m hoping for a morning delivery, but it all depends where the Depot is that the delivery people leave from.    Anyway I’m organised,  for whenever they arrive;  however I’m tied to Ivy Cottage until they do.  Arrive i.e.    I’ll most likely miss either morning coffee, or the ‘Drop in Cafe’;  maybe even both.

I’ve had a busy .... no ... I wouldn’t say ‘busy’ ... more of a bumbling kind of working
Links Road - Earlsferry.
day.    I found a box of older photographs and ended up browsing through, and taking photographs of a few of them.   I’ll use them on a ‘rainy day’.    Actually, ‘light rain’ is mentioned in the weather forecast for later tomorrow afternoon;   having said that we did have a “red sky tonight” .... so... there should not be any ‘light rain’ tomorrow!
This sunrise and sunset excitement has got me all fired up for more of the same:  but that’s not how it works.    I check the “Fife Weather” weather cams, first thing every morning, to see if the sky is showing potential for a bonnie sunrise.   If it looks promising .... I’m on the beach.   If not .... I have another cuppa.

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
