Overcast but dry and still ....


14th August 2019 (Wednesday)    06.30 ....  “Overcast with a light breeze
Overcast .... but not raining.
and light showers later” is the forecast for KY9 today;  and, at the moment it is overcast....  with hardly a breath of wind.   I had hoped to see the sunrise this morning but the overcast sky stretched to the horizon so sunrise was hidden from view.  I’ll have a cuppa then get the bike out.


08.00    The bike I left in the Hutte, and I went to the beach instead... by way of hirpling'.     The beach was quiet.... only Marcia with the dogs, then the villages woke up and the dogs were out walking their owners all over the place.   It’s a nice morning for being out, but not ‘bright and sunny’;  in fact the sky looks quite threatening towards the West, but the showers aren’t supposed to occur until about midday.... and they are to be mixed in with ‘sunny spells’.   Could be a
The beacon - this morning.
bonnie enough afternoon.
 
The ‘Troops’ are still resting after wandering around Edinburgh all day yesterday.... so I don’t know what their ‘plan’ is for today.   I suppose it depends on what the weather is doing.    I’ll wait to see what they are doing before I formulate my ‘plan’ for today. 
  

19.00    I caught up with all the ‘news’ from Myra and Geoff at ‘arbour ‘ouse this morning;  but I’ve forgotten what it was.    The only one missing was George but Hector is up visiting him so they’ll be gallivantin’ aboot all over the place.
I haven’t done much today:  I made macaroni cheese for lunch/dinner.... getting things organised, and tidying up afterwards takes the time.   I was having a cuppa in the
Hmmmmm .... Janice outside Goodie Paradise!

Hutte when Shona appeared;  she had been at Ardross and dropped in on her way home so I made us a cuppa and caught up with her ‘news’:   there’s nothing happening at Kinneuchar.

Shona set off home before the rain, and I took Michael and Janice up to St Andrews.    The rain began as I was on my way home;  Shona would have got home dry.

KY9 is down for ‘long sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’ tomorrow:  it could be a good drying day.

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
