Frolicsome clouds ...


7th January 2019 (Monday)  08.30  Hmmmmm ...the wind hasn’t blown
The Centre of the Universe this morning.
the clouds away, but they are definitely moving faster.   The weather forecast tells me it’s warmer than it has been of late, but it doesn’t feel warmer.   That means .... we have a grey, and windy, start to the morning.   However, bloo patches (hopefully big ones?) should arrive by midday.... but they will be really fast moving as the wind will be F8 by then.   It’s a frolicsome morning.


10.15   No matter how many times I go to the beach to take my usual batch of photographs; I always look forward to seeing them on the computer.  It’s as if I’d never been on this beach before.   Anyway, forget about me getting excited about a few photographs:  it is breezy this morning, but I was well wrapped up and didn’t feel at all cold.   Occasional small ‘bloo’ patches are beginning to appear in the general greyness;  the forerunners of bigger ones to come.   It is also spitting rain:  sunny spells, and showers, would be welcome after the past grey days.

The harbour.
17.30   We’ve had braw, fresh weather today;  and a long spell of very welcome sunshine.    We, the 'coffee morning troops', went to the Pavilion for coffee this morning.   All the other coffee places are on holiday just now which is why everyone is going to the Pavilion.   It’s a braw place, but nowhere near the ‘paper shop’ .... and the boys are ‘in love’ with Brenda and Laura of the Harbour House.   Lachlan was telling us they are doing a carvery on Sunday’s;  that could be interesting.

I went for a walk round Chapel Green in the afternoon:  and stopped to take some photographs from the shelter of the chapel gable.  I felt something rattling around in my mouth: and I promptly thought... “my brain cell has escaped!”  I was happy to
Breezy Elie Bay this afternoon.
discover that it was only a crown that had come off a tooth.   I have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow at 11.00.


20.30    I’ve been active today;  sunshine makes a big difference to how active I feel;  in fact how active I can be.   As far as I can see, tomorrow is also going to be brighter, but not quite as windy.    When I’m finished with the dentist, I’m going up to the Windmill to visit Chris tomorrow, so the morning is well taken care of.   I might as well go to the ‘Store’ on the way home.

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
