Colourful sunrise....


23rd October 2019 (Wednesday)    09.30 ....  It was bonnie on the beach
Sunrise time over Elie Bay.
this morning.... and not too cold.    When I first arrived on the beach there was hardly any wind, but it freshened as the sun came up.... so it was breezy by the time I came off the beach.   We had a colourful sunrise, in fact it was an interesting sky all round.    Now I suppose I’d better have breakfast.



15.00    While we were sitting having coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse we were surprised ... no shocked would be a better word...  to see a, brand new looking, Fife Council gritter going past.   It hadn’t been frosty overnight and we didn’t think frost is in the forecast.   'The Boys' suddenly felt colder and muchly disorientated by this gritter and Myra, the Team Leader, wasn’t there to console us as she was off getting her hair done.  In the end we decided that it was a new driver being shown the route or some such thing;  and went back to discussing something important.

Elie - this afternoon.
It hasn’t been the prettiest of days but it has not been the coldest either, so I went up to Chapel Green after lunch;  at that time the sun breaking through the clouds to give us short spells of sunshine.... in fact it was quite pleasant.   I got back to Ivy and promptly had ‘50’.  I had a restless night last night having woke up at 02.20 thinking Maggie wanted me to make her a cuppa!   I had one then read a bit of my book before falling asleep again.


19.30    I suppose I have to say that this hasn’t been an exciting day, but it has been satisfying one as far as getting stuff done on the computer.... all I have to do is knit it altogether.   That will be the hard bit.

I have been totally shocked by the ‘News’ that 39 bodies had been found in a lorry in
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
Essex this morning.   We live in very sad times I’m thinkin’.  It’s only after today’s horror that we remember the 60 Chinese found at Dover in 2000... 58 dead two survivors having been smuggled across the Channel in the same manner as today’s victims. 
 
What do I intend to do tomorrow?    Well I haven’t really thought about it.... but the weather is supposed to be ‘breezy with sunny spells’;   could be a good drying day!   How sad is that.   I’m bound to have something better to think about that whether it is going to 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
