Calm ...


1st December 2018 (Saturday)    09.00 ....The wind has moderated and
10 minutes before sunrise.
all is calm and peaceful again .... we have a ‘gentle breeze’, ... and....  it isn’t wet.   I went to the beach for sunrise, and got a pleasant surprise when Irene came down to watch the sunrise.    The pre sunrise sky was  bonnie but the actual sunrise event was hidden by low cloud:  Irene’s company more than made up for that.
I’m feeling brighter this morning;  yesterday I felt a couple of degrees under.      All we need now is for the sun to break through;  at the moment the sky is overcast.     I’m off to have breakfast.


Pleasant afternoon.
20.00     I’ve had a reasonably active day, with couple of walks on the beach, and most of the Chainwalk page written.    My next mission regarding the Chainwalk page is to find photographs to illustrate it.   Photographs I have in plenty.... it’s sorting out the best ones to use that will take the time.
It was pleasant down on the beach this afternoon.... it was overcast but it was blissful not having a howling gale rattling roond the lugs.   I noticed that the Bass Rock and Berwick Law were slowly disappearing into the murkiness  on the ‘Sooth side’:  this was the rain moving up from the south west as per weather forecast.    It (the rain) arrived at about 17.00 and, though it isn’t raining just now, there is still much dampness around.   

 When on the beach a US Army Lysander flew low over us and out towards the
US Army WWII Lysander?
lighthouse:  obviously following the coast.   I say Lysander because that is what it looked like to me;  it was a WWII type of plane. 

What am I going to do tomorrow?    I guess it all depends on the weather and how I feel.    I’m enjoying browsing DVD’s looking for Chainwalk/Kincraig cliffs photographs.    The problem is, that I end up looking at photographs that have nothing to do, with either the cliffs or the Chainwalk.   This could be a long job.... and one probably spend some time doing tomorrow as the weather forecast is, “light rain and a gentle breeze”.    Yep it looks like I could get the Chainwalk page ‘up’ tomorrow afternoon.

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
