Heavily overcast morning ....


27th March 2019 (Wednesday) .... 09.00   Mmmmmm ... it’s heavily
Cavall Place - Williamsburgh.
overcast, and I was looking for sunny and warm!.... however Marcia assures me that tomorrow will be sunny and warm .... and a good drying day.   Today we have the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch .... (soup, sweet, coffee/tea and biccies) .... guaranteed to brighten up the dullest of days.    With a bit of luck  ...  the sun could break through and give us a few sunny spells later today.... and it should begin to feel warmer.    I think a cuppa is required.

18.30     The sun did break through about midday, giving us a pleasant afternoon .... and I took advantage of the sun and went for a walk on the golf course;    that was in the middle of the afternoon ....I’d done other things before that.
As per normal I went up for the papers, had morning coffee with Abby and Geoff... and Myra;   after she got back from the hairdresser.    Lunch was well taken care of at Colinsburgh, and I was back home by 14.00:  and having 50 in the Hutte by 14.30.    When I woke up I decided to go for the walk.
17th green - Earlsferry Links.
20.00     Tomorrow I might be slightly more active than I was today: however I will take time out for morning coffee, .... and I have the Drop in Cafe in the afternoon.... oops .... it looks like tomorrow is going to be another ‘rest’ day.    The weather forecast is good.
There’s an article in the ‘East Fife Mail’ this week about the proposed housing developments in Earlsferry and Elie.... and the problems associated with any housing development in an area that already has sewage, water, and traffic problems.      There is also mention of a community charrette (a public meeting called to solve a local problem) seeking the views of the Elie and Earlsferry residents on how to make our villages better places in which to live.    Could we improve what is .... already perfect?

I saw a bloke with a spray can of yellow paint marking bits of Bank Street/Liberty road
Links Road - Earlsferry.
surface needing attention;  he must have used a few cans(of paint) because the whole street from the Bank Street junction with Elie High Street all the way to ‘Whitsand’ (Cecily’s house) need to be resurfaced.

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

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

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
