Colourful sunrise ....


12th September 2019  (Thursday)     07.30....It was a lovely morning
Sunrise time.
when I was on the beach but we now have an overcast sky and it looks like it’s going to rain.    The forecast isn’t bad, but spells of light rain are mentioned for our area.    We had a colourful sunrise, I wouldn’t say it was red... more golden but I guess that can be interpreted as ‘a warning’ of inclement weather.
I am organised for the Nurse this morning, then we will go to Harbour House for morning coffee.

22.00   The weather improved after lunch and ‘M’ and I had a busy day.   First we went to Harbour House for coffee as planned for the morrrrrrning:  Joyce came in for her weekly meeting with her pals, so she and ‘M’ chatted (they were school friends .... a long time ago... er a few years ago)... my word they made a lot of noise.   It was an
'M' at Pittenweem harbour.
enjoyable morning coffee as ever.

We decided to go to the Fudge Doughnut Factory Cafe for a ‘lite bite’ lunch .... we had stovies and a goodie.   On the way out ‘M’ insisted that we buy two Fudge Doughnuts:  right enough you can’t go to ‘the’ Fudge Doughnut factory and leave without Fudge Doughnuts.    We came home along a meandering route that took in Ceres and New Gilston .... I think we might have been ‘lost’ ... until we eventually, accidentally entered New Gilston.

The evening turned out to be the best part of the day so we went along to Pittenweem
A corner of Pittenweem harbour.
Harbour to have a ‘browse’.     I was surprised at the number of boats in the harbour;  it looked a really industrious fishing port.

The weather forecast is good for tomorrow .... mostly ‘wall to wall’ sunshine so we’re going to do a washing then go for a run along to Pettycur Harbour, and have a ‘lite(r) than today bite’ lunch somewhere.... probably the Harbour Master’s House at Dysart.... unless I can think of some other harbour cafe place.

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
