Cloudy with a light breeze ....


25th January 2020 (Saturday)   Anniversary of the birth of 'Rabbie Burns' ... 261 years ago.

 07.30 .... it’s dark this morning so I assume it’s cloudy .... then again I have only been
Memorial to fishermen lost at sea - Pittenweem.

as far as the front gate, and there wisnae much happening there;  only the security light in the car going on and off.   I’m having a cuppa before....... probably wandering down to the beach.
09.30   Nobody told me that it was goin’ tae be cauld today;  so who went to Pittenweem harbour? .... yep ... the boy.   I was on a scouting mission and got a photo of what I was after but not quite exactly as I wanted it to be.    I’ll go back again .... on a warmer morning.

On the way back I dropped in to the ‘Paper Shop’ to pick up the papers ... I am now ensconced in Ivy about to make myself a mug o’ coffee.   The greenhouse clearing session might begin once the temperature rises;  though it disnae look like that’s goin’ tae happen anytime soon!
Berwick Law from the Woodhaven car park.
11.00  Today’s weather is a bit drab; so drab in fact that but even my coffee is beginning to taste good!    I took the black bags out to the greenhouse so I have actually been out there but .... I think I need another mug o’ coffee before I begin physically ‘working’.   Oh .... and it's still cauld!
14.00 Surprise surprise .... I have been in the greenhouse and done some ‘work’;  not much but the longest journey begins with the first step, so I have started;  and I took some old glass etc along to the re-cycling place at Woodhaven.    
I came in for a cuppa and ended up watching the “Diary of Anne Frank” ...reminding me that we have the 75th anniversary (27th January) of the liberation of the Auschwitz – Birkenau death camps on Monday.    Man’s inhumanity to man make countless millions mourn .... and it continues today:  Nothing on the scale of the evil perpetrated against the Jewish race by the Nazis;  but still atrocities happen all over the world so evil is still with us.   We live on a beautiful planet but it seems mankind is hell bent on its destruction.    All the ‘Gods’ must ever regret allowing the human species to dominate.

We have a miserable day of wet (heavy Scotch Mist) and windy weather now .... and it’s cauld.   I don’t think I shall do any more ‘work’ today.

19.00    While the weather hasn’t been of the best kind today I have managed to do
The granary (Elie) with Chapel Green (Earlsferry) beyond.
some work and watch the tele now and again.... so I feel content at the end of the day. Rain is forecast for our area tomorrow so I suspect it will be a computer day for me;  I have a few things I need to work on so a wet day won’t be wasted.    It is going to be cold for the next few days.... that probably means the temperature will be more or less where it should be for this time of year.    I have felt cauld all day today but that’s because of the dampness in the air:  right now I’m ‘warm and cosy’, sitting at the computer with a cuppa .... and the heating turned up.

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
