Nice morrrrrning ....


16th November 2019 (Saturday)    08.30 .... We have an overcast sky
Earlsferry from a spring tide beach - 2004.
but it is dry;  it’s the kind of morning we get a lot of at this time of year .... nice in a grey kind of way;  and there’s always sunny spells in ‘arbour ouse’.... though I think I’d better give them a miss today;  don’t want to spread the cold around.   Actually I’m feeling fairly frisky this morning after a decent, with hardly any coughing, night’s sleep: so  might even go to the beach after breakfast.  

14.30    I got so absorbed with research and writing that didn’t go to the beach;  now I’m wishing that I had because we have a wet afternoon and I certainly won’t be going to the beach as long as there’s Scotch Mist blowing through.  This has been a lazy day, physically, for ‘The Boy’ but I do feel better.... I think I’ll have another ‘lazy day’ tomorrow.   I haven’t looked to see what weather we’re going to have but I’d like to get

as far as the beach tomorrow.    That said I am actually enjoying working on the computer.... so much so that I didn't even notice the weather changing outside today.


16.30    I got togged up to go to the beach without checking what the weather was doing, only to find out when I got to the door that it was no longer Scotch Mist but steady rain.   I made a cuppa.... and browsed a 2004 Folder.   Today’s photographs are from it.
19.30    It has been a very wet afternoon and evening ... still is ... but I am well pleased with my work today, and looking forward to tomorrow when I hope to  repeat today’s efforts.    Monday looks like being the first day that I will get out on the bike for more than a week.
I took ‘time out’ to watch this week’s episode about the life aboard our new aircraft carrier.... I don’t watch much on the television but this has been a really interesting
Macduff's Cave - Kincraig Cliffs, Earlsferry.
series (for me anyway).   I don’t know if this was the last episode or not but she changed Captains today ....moored up in New York harbour.  What a place to hand over to a new Captain.

The ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to once again have a quiet day though I’d like to go to the beach sometime during the day.   The weather is forecast to be ‘cloudy but dry with a light wind’.

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
