Cracking sunrise ....


7th October 2018 (Sunday) .... 09.30   I can tell you that it was cauld on
10 minute before sunrise over Elie.... 
the beach;  actually it wasn’t that cold when I first went down.... there was only a light breeze... but the wind freshened and added wind chill!   But hey .... it was worth it:  we had a cracker of a sunrise!    “Red sky in the morning .... etc. is ominous, but at least it was dry, even if it was windy and cold by the time I left the beach.    It’s not that bad looking out just now.... windy but not wet.   Wind and rain is forecast for us later today.   Have a lovely day whatever you do;  or a peaceful night’s sleep if you’re in the Southern hemisphere.     I’m needing food... orf to have breakfast.


The sky over Earlsferry 10 minutes before sunrise.

 12.00     We went up to Chapel Green around midday;   it was cold with spits and spots o’ rain in the wind.    I suppose it could be called ‘bracing’.    I was ‘stood staunin’ in the lee of the Chapel when John came up from a potter around the rocks.    It does not look, nor feel, like we are going to have a bonnie afternoon.


21.30     We’ve been lucky with the weather;  we’ve had the wind that was forecast, but only spells of light, but wind driven’ rain now and again.    In fact the sun broke through for short time in the early part of the afternoon.    ‘JB’ and I were busy by this time:  the Wii machine had been fitted with new batteries and we were playing golf.    The Wii will be a good way for me to exercise over the winter;  it’s an amazing piece of kit.... and I’d forgotten all about it.

Although we have yet to strike a blow as far as work goes we have been making sure
Chapel Green at midday.
that we are well fuelled up.   We’ve been eating much energy giving food:  for instance, this evening we went to the ‘Anstruther Fish Bar and had ‘fish suppers’ for ‘dinner’.    If we ever get round to doing some work we will have the oomph needed to get the job done;   maybe.   Outside work is weather dependent, and the weather for the next couple of days is not to promising.   Windy, with  good chance of intermittent showers.  We will break down the bunk beds.

I’m tired tonight;  it can’t be work.    Playing games on the Wii must be more tiring than I thought.

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
