Bonnie morning ....


24th November 2018 (Saturday) .... 07.30   ‘Light cloud on an easterly
Sunrise from the Ferry beach.
breeze with a chance of showers, then longer spells of rain later in the afternoon/evening’;  not a bad weather forecast for this time of year.   And there could be attention grabbing clouds....I feel as excited as a bag o’ ferrets.   Being that sunrise isn’t until 08.10. I’ll have another cuppa then go down to the beach. 

 09.30     The beach is the place to be.... hardly any wind and very peaceful.   Only a couple of dog walkers, a jogger and me were out enjoying this blissful start to the morning.... well on the beach at that time.    It looks like being a useful kind of day for going out to play!


Jet trail...  over Ivy lum.
13.00    Mmmmm .... it was afternoon when the rain started;   at about 3 minutes after midday.   Right now we have heavy rain, and general greyness;  not an afternoon for ‘going out to play’;  however we have rugby on the tele  this afternoon:  Scotland v Argentina, followed by Wales v South Africa, so the rain doesn’t matter too much.    I had hoped to go for a walk around the Chapel Green area, but that has been cancelled.  


20.30   Shoutin’ and bawlin’ at the tele is awfie tiring:  I’m shattered.   Scotland beat Argentina 14 – 9 in a finely balanced game;  that said the Argentine kicker missed four penalties.... so it could well have been a different ending.  There was heavy rain at the start and that affected the ball handling.    Nevertheless I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to the Six Nations.     Wales beat South Africa  20 – 11 in the other match that I watched.
Oh .... I did get out for a walk;  the rain petered out about half past one so I went to the
The Ferry beach - mid afternoon.
beach before the rugby started.   The rain has started again and it's raining as I type.

We had a full compliment for coffee at Harbour House today, but Myra was out shopping with Janet(?), so the boys were ....leaderless.    This was not good.    We were like lost sheep at first.... but Brenda took us under her wing and we soon settled down.   It’s not easy being ‘leaderless boys’.
 
We’ve had two spells of rain since midday, ... but I think tomorrow is going to be slightly drier:  though we could get spells of light rain coming off the North Sea.

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

 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
