Colourful sunrise sky ....


5th October 2019 (Saturday)    09.00 ...We had a colourful sunrise this
Elie Bay - 20 minutes before sunrise time.
morning... the kind that gets me into dream mode.   Yes the red sky is not a good omen but my word it was magnificent; there was only one man walking his dogs and me on the beach to enjoy it.   I have no doubt that the weather will deteriorate as per forecast but the sky this morning ... oh that was something else.    I’m going to have a quick breakfast then go out on the bike before the bad weather does move in.


12.00   The roads were busy this morning and I was glad to get into Elie Estate: having said that, it was an enjoyable bit of exercise, with a busy sky making the photographs interesting.... much more interesting than the busy road.    I’m happy.     The villages
The Ferry beach.
are busy... I think this is the start of the ‘half term’ school holidays, which probably explains the busy roads.   I’m starting to feel peckish:  ‘Puku’ (bless his lovely sixteen pack) is in need of a few calories:  and I’m tired.   That shouldn’t surprise me as I’ve been on the go since 06.00;   I’m think I’ll have a ‘lite bite’ lunch then ‘50’ before starting to work.   Not proper work;  doing stuff on the computer.    I notice that timing of the ‘Yellow warning’, (rain) has changed with most of the wet weather happening tonight and tomorrow.

15.00    My goodness I was tired;  I slept for a whole hour.   By the look of the sky I haven’t missed much but I now have a fully charged battery on the bike .... aye... and I’m feeling ‘fully charged’ too!    Much need of a cuppa though;  then I’ll get on with ‘work’.   Oh ... ‘M’ is safely home in Otaki;  tired after the journey.... and it’s raining.   In Otaki i.e.!   Not in the Royal Burgh. 

20.30   Other than work on the computer with an occasional break for a cuppa I have
The 'Beacon' this afternoon.
had a quiet afternoon.    I did set off to have a daunder up the road but it started to spit rain (16.00) so got no further than the phone box;  which was handy because I’d picked up some rubbish to put in the waste paper bin on the way.

If the weather is as forecast tomorrow it looks like I’ll be doing computer stuff and drinking a succession of cuppas.   I am making progress with the project I’m working on so I’m a ‘happy bunny’.   Still a bit tired but I won’t have to get out of bed early tomorrow morning.... though I almost certainly will.

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

 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
