Windy and colder ....

10th February 2020 (Monday)     07.00 .... Having been out as far as the
Elie Lighthouse this afternoon.
front gate I know that it’s windy...  it’s colder .... and, with sleet showers mentioned in the forecast for KY9 it looks like being a computer day for this boy.   I had thought of going to Kirkcaldy but there’s more chance of sleet/snow along there so that mission has been postponed until the weather clears up.
12.30    My word .... that was one wild sleet shower that rattled over;  I am glad that I didn’t go to Kirkcaldy.    I haven’t been ‘out’ yet .... not even as far as the car and that’s just at the gate.    I will go for a circumnavigation of the villages after lunch but I’m thinkin’ that any photographs I do take will be from inside the cosy car.   I have been working on the computer most of the morning..... and will do the same for most of the afternoon. 
18.00      It has been a wintry like day with wild and heavy sleet showers .... and it turned colder as the day wore on.    I went out in the car which isn’t the most exercise intensive way of getting around but I did have a walk down to the beach after I got
The beach this afternoon.
home.    Wild weather usually means interesting skies;  and that certainly was the caste today.... and it ought to be the same tomorrow ‘cos the forecast is for us to get .more of the same’.    That reminds me:   in the middle of the morning I ended up with what I call a ‘thundery headache’ but I didn’t think we got thunder at this time of year.    I looked up Lightning.org and lo and behold there has been lightning strikes all along the ‘sooth side, all the way to the West coast.... so;   thundery headache it was.    The headache cleared up after the lightning petered out off the Outer Hebrides.
19.30     I see that it’s snowing at Lochgelly;  snowflakes show up as white streaks
Nice sky over Earlsferry.
across the webcam picture.    Snow is forecast for more or less anywhere in Scotland overnight.... apart from our wee corner of Fife of course.    I don’t suppose I’ll be going very far again tomorrow .... it will be an ‘ousework and  computer day I’m thinkin’;   with a run out in the car to get the paper.

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
