Misty ....


22nd September 2019 (Sunday)     07.30 .... Mmmmmm;  we have a
Sunrise time!
misty morning but nice and peaceful.  There was only one gentleman out walking his dog and me on the beach... oh and the local Heron. The mist took on a warm glow as the sun came over the horizon.... and that was sunrise;  bonnie in a completely different way.   Now I need food.   I’m doing well with the diet, scoffing plenty fruit.  No chocolate biscuit has passed my lips since Wednesday.


09.00    It’s fairly cold today;  the wind is off the East right enough, and, though the sky is slowly clearing here it does look brighter towards the West.... ‘bloo’ sky can be seen over Largo Bay.  Largo Bay is named after the village of Largo.   I might get the bike out later;  after the sun heats the air up;  right now it’s cold.

Midday.
11.00   ‘Bloo’ sky?.... the bloo didn’t last long and the bike has never been out.  Right now I’m at the computer enjoying having a coffee (yes one of my own making) looking at some photographs taken on a sunny day;  hoping that bits of  ‘bloo’ sky appear and we get sunny spells.    It looks reasonably promising to the West;  then again, that’s how is looked a couple of hours ago.   Ye Gods that coffee is manky, but I am if nothing else, unwavering;  drink it I will.... to the very last dreg.
16.30    I went out on the bike about 11.30 and did the ‘Grand Tour’;  it wasn’t the brightest of days but it was pleasant, especially so on the estate road, where I was out of what wind there was; so it wasn’t too cold with only a light northeast wind.   The villages are busy (which is surprising because this isn’t a ‘holiday’ weekend) and I got a few photographs that I can ‘play’ with this evening.
The weather has deteriorated and we caught the edge of a heavy shower at four
Kinneuchar kirk.
o'clock:  the sky seems to be clearing now so I guess the shower has passed.
19.00    We have wet evening;  definitely an evening for working on some of the photographs I got this morning.   The forecast for tomorrow is better;   ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’ after a grey start to the morning.   I might have a lie in.   No ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  I’m missing ‘M’ for ‘plan’ making.   And tea making!   And for being just here!   Must go... slight flap on;  got to make myself a cuppa!

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
