Lovely clouds ... all over the place


20th November 2018 (Tuesday) ..... 09.45    I don’t know where the
Exciting clouds about this morning.
overcast stuff has gone... and fewer sunny spells?    We’ve had a sunny spell that, if it lasts much longer, would qualify as a Scottish summer.    It’s  a brilliant morning;  interesting shower clouds all over the place.   There is a noticeable drop in the temperature... and a stiff breeze , so there is a big wind chill factor.... but a lovely day.    I missed sunrise, though I was ‘on the move’.... it was raining at that time.   I don’t mind getting wet, but not the camera.   I’m excited.    Oh and I need to get a new TV... the old one has finally gone.   It’s frozen on the ‘Setup’ page.... which is boring.    I ‘googled’ the problem and it needs a new bit of Firmware... i.e.  dump the tele.
Mid afternoon.
19.30    Welll .... I have been a busy boy.    When I was chomping my way through breakfast, I decided to go to Kirkcaldy and buy a new tele, and, on the way I’d drop into the Bank in Leven to get myself a new pin number for my card.    The pin No was easy;  the tele less so... there are so many to choose from.    In the end I settled for one that has USB sockets so that I can watch my PowerPoint presentations on the tele.    In fact I’m going to make a few more Presentations for my own use .... for when I’m old.    I’ve dismantled the old tele;  it’s ready to be taken to the re-cycling place on Thursday.    I’ll set up the new one tomorrow. ... I like to do things systematically;  and not too fast!    Hey ....I’ll be able to see Theresa M  in glorious HD now. 
I went out in the car in the afternoon to get a few cloud photographs but the showers
New tele .... waiting to be set up.
were, though short, frequent, so I didn’t go far.   I had thought of going to Crail Harbour.    In the end I went to Elie then home by Kinneuchar;  and I did get a few photos.   As far as I could see our weather forecast for tomorrow seems to include wet stuff.   Oh welll ... I have much to do on the computer.... and I have a tele to set up.    Jings .... I feel a weakness coming on at the thought of all that work.   I think I’ll go and open the box and see if all the bits are in there!    Must ‘go’ ... slight ‘flap on’ .... I want to have a look at this new tele.   I’ll also put the kettle ‘on’.    

This has been an exciting day .... the sky especially has been entertaining  all day.... just a pity about the showers:  but with the kind of clouds we had showers were all around us.

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
