Quiet morning ....


Chapel Green Road houses - Earlsferry at sunrise time.
17th October 2019 (Thursday)     07.00 .... the eastern sky is beginning to
brighten though it’s almost another hour before the sun appears above the horizon but already it looks like we’re going tom have a bonnie day.   There’s only a breath of wind, and hardly a cloud to be seen;  regrettably, the breath of wind is from my least favoured direction.... the East.


09.00    It was bonnie on the beach.... really tranquil and dreamlike.    The sunrise was not as colourful and dramatic as yesterday’s but beautiful nonetheless .... sort of unruffled.   The beach was fairly busy.... but not one  jogger to  add a bit of colour to the scene.   I will get the bike out after breakfast... but I must remember to wear gloves!   Alison (or was it Lorna?) didn’t have gloves this morning and her hands were cold.   (The girls were both on the beach to catch the sunrise.)  
  
The lighthouse - taken at 11.00.

12.30    Mmmmm... the bright start to the day didn’t last long;  the sky is overcast and we’ve even had a  short spell of rain.   The bike won’t be coming out this afternoon.     Anyway.... who needs sunshine when we have Harbour House!     It’s always full of rays of sunshine... and happy banter.  I came home by way of Woodhaven Car Park and Kinneuchar....it  looks like I’m going to be working on the computer this afternoon.    Myra is taking a friend in to visit Jim.
19.00     The rain didn’t last and we’ve had nice afternoon... but slightly on the cool side, so I never went biking.    I have done quite a lot on the computer.... and a couple of Soduko’s.... basically a quiet day.

I see on the ‘News’ that a ‘deal’ has been reached re leaving the EU;  it all depends on the vote in the Houses of parliament on Saturday.   (I wonder if MP’s get double time for working on a Saturday?)  Working? .... they don’t know the first thing about working:  I could show them ‘work’ .... er ... perhaps not!   I’m wondering how long it
The sun just starting to rise this morning.
will be before we apply to rejoin the EU.
  

Tomorrow I am looking for to photographing The Elie and Earlsferry WRI  girls at Kinneuchar Castle where they are having their Centenary celebration.   I’ll have a run up in the afternoon, to see the set up and where the girls will be standing to get the photograph taken.   The Lindsay Room is a dark kind of place so I will have to use the flash.  I might get out on the bike in the morning, but the villages are busy so that depends on just how busy the roads are.

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
