Overcast but dry ....


14th October 2018 (Sunday) ....08.30    It was nice on the beach this
Elie Bay.
morning, after yesterday’s rain, with a bonnie pre sunrise sky;   sunrise happened behind the clouds.  There’s cool, north westerly breeze, and the weather forecast is not bad... we should have sunny spells in the afternoon.     
I’m still feeling under the weather, but brighter than I was yesterday:  another quiet day ahead I’m thinking.

 16.30     After a day of pottering around sorting out ‘Maggie’s Office’ I was glad to see blue sky move over from the West about 14.00:  we now have a lovely late afternoon and evening.    I took a chance this morning and hung out bath towels;   they should be nearly dry when I take them in later.    In fact I might leave the towels out all night as the forecast is good for tonight and tomorrow.     The bedding is going through the machine as I type.... ready to hang out first thing tomorrow.    I’ve had a restful ‘day’,
Kinneuchar Station road.
which I intend ending quietly,... by going to the beach at sunset time.... which is 18.15.


21.30     We’ve had a beautiful end to Sunday... and we can look forward to a bonnie day tomorrow;  if the weather forecasters have got it right.

This afternoon I  took a load of paper stuff along to the re-cycling place at Woodhaven then went up to Kinneuchar to catch the sunset on the kirk.    I met Shona on the way home and we had a cuppa at Ivy.... and caught up with each others ‘news’.     Although ‘in love’... Shona is not yet married:  I’m sure that will happen soon.

I’m pleased with the work I’ve done in the ‘office’;  I actually surprised myself because
Sunset lit Kinneuchar kirk.
I didn’t feel ‘in the mood’ at all when I got up.    Tomorrow the plan is to dismantle the bottom bunk, ready to go to the skip at Pittenweem on Tuesday.

I left the towels out on the line.... and the bedding is ready to hang out first thing in the morning.    After I’ve been to the beach i.e.    I’m feeling much better tonight... and hope to feel back to ‘normal’ tomorrow:  normal enough to go out to ‘play’ for a wee while ... hopefully.

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
