Overcast ... but warm


20th October 2018 (Saturday) ....08.30    it is warm this morning.... in
Sunrise time .... bonnie in adiffereny way to yesterday's.
fact it was warm overnight.   The sky is overcast, and the breeze has freshened since I was on the beach... but it’s nice enough morning;   and the sun should break through later.    I don’t feel in a paper shredding mood this morning .... more of a ‘wanting out to play’ mood;   I'll make my mind up over breakfast.


14.30    I’ve been a reasonably ‘busy boy’, having shredded a few bit of paper;  and been for the paper and morning coffee.    The weather has been mixed;  from light ‘Scotch Mist’ through to odd spells of sunshine.    We’re having a sunny spell just now so I’m going out to play.

19.38    ‘Play’ turned out to be a walk on the East Links;  this usually takes me about 45 minutes at the speed I ‘walk’ at nowadays.... and the ‘sunny spell’ didn’t last long.    It was a bracing walk to say the least;  but plenty people were out there, enjoying a walk in the fresh air.... of which there was an abundance ... and the scenery.    The sky was busy with clouds and the occasional blue bit, so the ambience was ever changing;  I enjoyed the walk, in spite of the cold wind.... that said, I was glad to get back to the car.

Back at Ivy I quickly made myself a cuppa, browsed the photographs I’d taken on the east Links, looked at the paper shredder.... and played a couple of games of Wii golf.   The exercise warmed me up in nae time.    I decided that I wouldn’t go out again today;  but I did.... to fill the bird feeders.   The Ivy hatches are now battened and I am settling down to play with today’s batch of photographs.

I did watch Prince Harry opening the Invictus Games in Australia;  I like Prince
Part of 'The Terrace', Elie from East Links.
Harry’s style of “Royal-ness”.    He must have connections with the ‘Royal Burgh’.
At the moment I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  it is Sunday and I could go to the kirk, but by the time 11.00 arrives I’m usually off on some other mission.   I’ll see what the weather is like in the morning.    I think it is suppose to be, more or less, a repeat of today’s weather.

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
