Light frost ....


29th October 2018 (Monday) ....  07.30   We have a lovely, crisp morning
Elie Bay.
with a light frost;  as was forecast.    The air should quickly warm up once the sun climbs above the clouds.   The beach was busy, with dog walkers this morning .....no  joggers!      Sunrise was obscured by low cloud:  I knew this was going to be the case, having browsed the Fife Weather cams.   The Aberdour camera shows what’s happening along the East horizon.  
I don’t need to go to Leven for a wee while yet .... yes .... I’ll have another cuppa.


19.30    It has been a beautiful, and busy day .    The car has been serviced;  it has to go in  on Wednesday to get two tyres replaced, and something else done.    I’ll take it in first thing on Wednesday and hope to have it back before the ‘Lite Bite Lunch’ at Colinsburgh.   Unfortunately Wednesday was the only day they could fit it .... the car ...in.

Busy sky over Elie and Earlsferry.
I went round to Janet’s after leaving the car at the garage, had a cuppa, caught up with her ‘news,.... and even remembered to leave a memory stick with the family photographs on it:  we then both walked (at my speed) down to Leven;  I went to Sainsbury’s... Janet was going to the High Street.   I had sandwiches in Sainsbury’s.     Angela and Graham were just finishing their coffee so I company for a few minutes.... and an interesting chat.

When I got the car from the garage I went round to Janet’s to pick up an Aran jersey that Janet had repaired.    There was a small hole where I’d caught it I’d caught it on a door handle.    I was back home by 13.30.   I’d intended washing said jersey when I got home, but we had some heavy showers bumbling their way over by then.    I’ll wash it first thing in the morning and hope that any showers that come our way tomorrow are later in the afternoon.    I’ll be around Ivy most of the day.
  
When I arrived back at Ivy (from Leven) I met Jock who was worrying about planting
Elie Bay at sunset time.
his tubs.     “Jock” I said to Jock;  you don’t need to worry.... “get Honor to do it”.... then gave him a travel sweetie to calm him down!   Jock was just a complete ‘bag o’ nerves’:  even more so than me!

We’ve had a busy sky this afternoon, so I went down to the harbour (not the warmest place to be), followed by a quick trip home, by Balbuthie Loan.... then down to the beach to catch a few more cloud photographs.    I’m a contented boy tonight.... and a tired one.    My knee is not a happy bunny knee.

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
