Overcast and wet .....


6th December 2019 (Friday)     09.00 ....  we have an overcast and wet
Earlsferry from Woodhaven.
start to the day, but it is mild (for the time of year) .... it’s 10c on the garden thermometer.    The forecast for 'KY9’ isn’t that bad;  “light rain showers and a moderate breeze”, .... I’m looking for sunny spells later, but that’s maybe wishful thinking.    It’s going to be a Christmas card writing day for me, .... with breaks for coffee... and the dentist.


19.00    We have had a ‘nae bad’ kind of day as far as the weather went;  in fact we had a few sunny spells later in the afternoon.    I’ve had hectic day, but pleasurable day, and will be glad to crawl into bed tonight;  I even enjoyed my trip, to the dentist.   The Dentist has been the special surprise this week because when I went along on Tuesday to make an appointment I
Elie Harbour this morning.
really didn’t expect to get anything until after the festive season.   However it has all worked out perfectly, having made the appointment to have a check up on Tuesday morning,... then had the check up on Tuesday afternoon and finally a clean and polish today.   All ‘done and dusted’ within four days .... mostly due to folk having had to cancel appointments due to the cold/flu virus.
In Anstruther I bumped into Winston, who I haven’t seen for a long time, and caught up with some of his news.    I’ll go along to Anstruther next week to have a real blether with him:  Winston works in the Fisheries Museum Boatyard.
I’ve been trying to buy a new Railcard online.. ye Gods ... you’d think I was trying to hack into somewhere important.  I have managed to get as far as come up with a new
Earlsferry 15 minutes after sunset.
password .... but that is proving to be almost insurmountable.   I’ll try again later in the evening.   It’s only a Railcard I’m wanting not a whole train!

Tomorrow’s ‘plan’ is still in the embryonic  stage.... and will be until I come up with an acceptable password for Railcard!    The weather is forecast to be “Light rain with a frisky breeze” .... so ... nothing new there.   I’m hoping to visit Jim tomorrow being that I didn’t get along that way today.   In the meantime I shall have a cuppa then have another go at Railcard.
20.30    My word .... I finally concocted an acceptable password and have renewed the Railcard.   I need another 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
