Windy and overcast ....


30th August 2019 (Friday)    07.00 ....  when I first looked out this
Bonnie in a different way.
morning I thought it was raining but, although mostly overcast, it is dry.... and there are a few blue patches;  there's a slight chance of an early morning sunny spell.    Having said that rain is forecast, and the western sky does have a ‘rainy’ look to it.   The wind, and there is a frisky wind, is from the south west and surprisingly warm.  
  

09.30    Did I say it was warm?   Down on the beach I found out it isn’t as warm as I thought it was.... not when exposed to the wind.... and ... now that it’s raining it won’t be ‘the place to be’ today.   The sun is shining on the ‘sooth side’ of the Firth, but whether that will spread up to us remains to be seen.    “A clear sooth drooned the plooman” is an old saying, and the old sayings are usually fairly accurate.   It will be a good day for working on the computer;  and doing a wee bit signwriting;  after 'morning coffee' in 'arbour 'ouse.

Heavy cloud over the 'Royal Burgh'.

16.30    We have had a reasonable afternoon, sunny spells with a few light showers.   I’ve done some stuff on the computer, varnishing, Soduko’s in the Hutte (had ‘50’) and even had to time for a migraine to fire up.   The evening plan is find and print off a few stained glass window photographs for Jim.  Right now I am going to have a cuppa, take a couple of pills to dampen down the migraine then sort something out for dinner.   I wonder if thunder is mentioned in the weather forecast?   That can bring on migraines.
18.30    I’ve had food... and pills for the migraine so now I’m feeling brighter.   I won’t
The Ferry beach.
do any more computer stuff this evening;  I fancy watching something on the tele; and it won’t be the ‘News’.    Bring back Theresa.

The afternoon ended wet and windy.... it still is wet and windy so the boy won’t be going to the beach again today;  unless the rain stops and the sky brightens up.    I don’t know what the ‘plan' is for tomorrow;  I suppose it depends a lot on what the weather is doing.

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
