Stunning pre -sunrise sky ....


19th October 2018 (Friday) .... 09.30    The pre- sunrise sky was
15 minutes before sunrise.
absolutely stunning this morning.... and the beach was busy with folk enjoying the spectacle.    “Red sky in the morning” is not a good omen, but right now we have a bonnie morning.... and rain is not mentioned in the weather forecast.... so we should have a nice day.    It is a bit breezier though.
I’m going to add this morning’s sunrise to the presentation  I’m showing the WRI girls tonight;  a late change but it shouldn’t take long.    Need to have a cuppa first.


18.00    I managed to get the sunrise photos into the presentation so I’m a happy bunny.... but I haven’t been able to type out much in the way of ‘rools’.   Luckily it’s my own photographs I’m showing, and I remember taking each one, and why, so I should be able to talk about them, ‘off the cuff’.
I don’t know if it is, but it feels colder this evening.... almost as if there was rain not far away, although rain isn’t mentioned in the weather forecast.    I’d better get myself into
Pre sunrise western sky.
some kind of gear for the evening:  I don’t have to make ‘dinner’ as the ‘girls’ have sandwiches and goodies at the end of the evening.

 22.30    I enjoyed myself this evening;   the ‘girls’ were, as they always are, lovely, and my photographs looked good on the big screen.... and it all ended with food.     Oh and I judged the competitions... tasted five different soups, all of which were excellent, bramble jelly all excellent, and a flower arrangement, once again all of which were excellent:  the judging was the hardest part of the evening.   Thank you WRI girls for having me, and giving me a chance to see my photographs on the big screen.


I have no plan for tomorrow;  apart from continuing to shred out of date papers.   That
Sun climbing over the East Links.
will be an ongoing job.    The new bed is being delivered next Thursday.... and the room is well ready for that.
Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be cloudy with a few sunny spells... not unlike today’s weather was;  but slightly warmer.

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
