Lovely sunrise ....


12th February 2020 (Wednesday)     09.30 .... The garden thermometer
10 minutes before sunrise.
is showing 4C just now but with the wind chill it feels more like 1C;  having said that it is a bonnie morning but cold.    We had a cracker of a sunrise, some braw colours, but a “red sky in the morning etc”  means Storm Dennis is on his way in.
I did the washing and it is/was on the line when I last looked;  I did put extra pegs on it just in case.    It should dry fairly quickly and I might even get it ironed after lunch.    Must go.... got to get the papers.


11.30    I don’t believe me.   I went to the garage to fuel up the car, but the pump kept switching off so I gave up after £1.20... intending to the car to the garage.    Christine, who was on duty in the shop, said she would have a go:  yep .... fuel went in ‘nae bother’.   I do not know what I do wrong but it appears it’s me that’s the problem .... not the car.   Christine filled the tank so all’s well that ends well;  and I am looking forward to the Friendship Lunch.
Sunrise over Elie Bay.
From Colinsburgh I went to the ‘paper shop’ and had morning coffee with the ‘Troops’.... and I remembered to call Sarah “Sarah”.... sometimes 'Sarah' is “Laura”.

20.00     We’ve had a lovely day... sunny mostly, but it has been cold.    The ‘Friendship Lunch’ was excellent .... as it always is.   It seems that there’s ‘nothing’ happening anywhere....not even in Kinneuchar.

I am looking forward to the weekend;  Iain is coming down (weather permitting) to upgrade the big computer.    It’s the one I use when sorting out the photographs etc.  Tomorrow?    Hmmmmm .... after morning coffee tomorrow I’ll pop along Leven to do
Bonnie afternoon - but cold.
a wee shopping and visit Jim.  I must remember that we have a ‘Valentine Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.... can’t forget that.   I’ve just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow .... and the weekend:   not very promising at all.... Storm Dennis arrives on Saturday and is with us until Monday.    Tomorrow is going to start wet with rain/sleet/snow.

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
