Warm ... but windy


30th December 2018 (Sunday) .... 10.00    I had a change of direction
Mmmmm... this photo needs someone sitting on the seat!
for my walk this morning. Up to, and round, the Chapel Green, then home by way of the beach .... a total distance of 2.63 kilometres (1.63 miles);   with a lot of short stops to rest the knee.   It’s a nice enough morning for a walk;  breezy with a lot of cloud.... but it’s not a cold wind, although it does take a few degrees off what would be an unseasonably warm day for this time of year.

 19.00    It has been mostly cloudy today, but dry;   a good day for doing things.    I did the ironing, a wee bit of ‘ousework, and a big bit of pottering around on the computer; everything bar the stuff I’d ‘planned’ to do.

 
Earlsferry from the third tee area... half an hour before sunset.
In the middle of the afternoon I went up to the Pony Field to catch the sun setting over Largo Bay, but it wasn’t the most exciting sunset.    However, 20 minutes after sunset, the western sky was ablaze:   a sign that we should have a bonnie day tomorrow.... and I got an ‘Earlsferry High Street at sunset’ photo.   Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be a repeat of the weather we had today:  so much for the ‘red sky at night’ etc.   

I’m tired after all the walking I’ve done, and will spend the remainder of the evening watching the tele, working on the laptop.... and probably cat napping.   It will be interesting to see how my knee is tomorrow:  I have shown it no mercy today, and suspect that it will ‘show me no mercy’ tomorrow.

The villages are busy but not as busy as I expected them to be.    I’ve no doubt they will

fill up tomorrow.   I lie to see the visitors, and their dogs, enjoying the beach, the golf course,... and just bumbling around the villages:   they, the visitors, appear come from all over the UK, going by the car registration numbers.  

 I don’t have any plans for tomorrow;  so I’ll just play it by ear.   Actually, I might do some of the work in the garden that I’ve been threatening to do.   
Ye gods.... I fell asleep in front of the laptop;  I need a cuppa.    I’ll go and put the kettle ‘on’ then do this update.

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
