Lovely, crisp morning ....


25th February 2020 (Tuesday)      08.00 ....  Nice crisp morning (we
St Monans.
have a touch of frost) with a light westerly breeze;  definitely a morning to get out and about.   What a difference it makes when the sun is visible.   According to the weather forecast it‘s going to be cold today with the odd chance of a shower coming across..... it’s a ’wrap up well and explore’ morning.    I’ll take the car to St Monans,  bumble around the harbour then have coffee in the ‘Diving Gannet’ with the ‘Troops’.


13.30    It was a beautiful morning for bumbling about St Monans harbour.... and  I enjoyed a coffee in ‘The Diving Gannet’ with ‘The Troops’ midday through my morning.   Jimmy’s son, Ian was busy getting ‘Shearwater’ ready for the lobster season
Links Road - Earlsferry.
having had a frustrating time with the weather trying to get the work done.
I am happy with today’s batch of photographs;  the light was perfect and a few clouds came over to make the sky interesting.    Jim Ednie (Colinsburgh) was working on a boat by the middle pier so there was a bit of activity at the harbour for a change:  usually I have it to myself.

19.00    This change in the weather (sunshine instead of wind and rain) had me out again in the afternoon.... this time I went up to the ‘Pony Field’ and home by the golf course.   I had thought of getting the bike out but it would have been ‘cauld on the lugs’;   anyway I enjoyed the walk though I don’t doubt that my knee will be sore tonight.
Tomorrow’s weather is going to be much the same as today’s was for us;   sunny and
Earlsferry from the pony field.
cold.... but with a fresher breeze.    We have the ‘Colinsburgh Lite Bite Lunch’ tomorrow so I don’t need to bother with food.    Just a snack at tea time will do.   I don’t have a plan for tomorrow;  I might go to the beach in the early part of the morning the tide will be going out then.   If it’s a good drying day I’ll wash the Lobby, kitchen and bathroom floors.   I have to leave the doors open so that the floors dry quickly:  I shut the ‘glass door’ so that the main part of Ivy’ stays warm.   Hmmm ... that’s a ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but it depends on just how windy and cold it is.

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
