Clearing sky after early rain ....


3rd March 2020 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... it looks like we’ve had a shower of
Dredger 'Bardera Segunda'  -  Anstruther harbour.
rain overnight but the sky is now clearing and I think we’re in for another pleasant day.   I have an appointment with the dentist this morning having lost a filling while eating a pear.   It was a hard pear .... and an old filling that had started to bother me a few weeks ago.     I should get a few photos of Anstruther today.... maybe even have morning coffee in the Fisheries Museum.   It all depends of what the dentist says... or does.

20.30   I have flattened the bike battery for the first time;   luckily I was only 200 metres from Ivy when the power ran out.... and it’s a hard pedal without any power.   I kinda suspected that I was being a bit ambitious when I set off for  Rires Farm.... with just over three and a half bars of power (there’s five in total).    Id got as far as
Balcarres House.
Balcarres House when I decided that Rires was out of the question:  I could have made it to Rires but it would have been a long and hard pedal home from ....  probably Kinneuchar.    The bike is now charging and I will have a full battery for tomorrow when Rires will again be the target.   Weather permitting.    I did come through Elie Estate again and found the road  really muddy today.... I didn’t think there had been very much rain, but going by the estate road there had been.

The dentist appointment went as expected and I a temporary filling with an appointment to get the proper one on Friday.  I got a few photos of the dredger that’s in Anstruther Harbour at present.... it wasn’t working... the tide was going out.  
The Colinsburgh to Kinneuchar road.
 
The stars are looking good tonight... Orion is always looks its best at this time of year.   It’s one of those clear nights that I used to enjoy taking the dogs out.   There could be a touch of frost first thing tomorrow morning.   
The ‘KY9’ weather forecast is good for tomorrow;  “Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze”, but not very warm.    I’ll go out on the bike after lunch time.   No other ‘plan’ for tomorrow... other than papers, morning coffee with the ‘Troops’ then out on the bike.   Right now I’m going to make a cuppa and have a game of Wii golf.

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
