Heavy early morning fog ....


27th March 2020 (Friday)     “Happy Birthday" to Michael (Mike) in
The Toft - Elie.
sunny Sussex”.... you are allowed to annoy Janice today;  and have some of JB’s Emergency rations!

Meanwhile in not so sunny Fife....
05.30 .... oh dear .... we have a damp start to the day with a thick blanket of fog .... and drizzle.... not a pretty morning;  and the forecast is for it to be cloudy all day.    I doubt if I’ll get out on the bike but I should get out for a walk in the middle of the day.

07.30   Well I’ve been to the harbour which was a kind of a disappointment because there wisnae that much I could see... however I took a few photographs then bumbled up to the ‘paper shop’ and had a chat with the ‘troops’ (Ian and John) .... at two metres range.    No George this morning;  yep he is ‘in love’.   When you think about it this two metre thing isn’t ‘iggzactly’ helpful re falling in love.   Neither is fog.... you cannae see anybody to ‘fall in love’ with.

Links Road - Earlsferry from the West.
The other week I bought an adult colouring book in ‘The Store’;  I began colouring my first picture last night.... with colouring pencils (the only colouring things I have at the moment).   It’s going to be a long job... and I’m talking about the one picture not the whole book.   I’ll take a photo later to let you see what I mean.   Funnily enough it’s really relaxing .... but I might get another ‘book’:  I saw one advertised that was based on the ‘Old Masters’ paintings.   Anyway ... slight ‘flap on’ ....I’m ready for another breakfast.

12.00    It has been a bleak morning as far as the weather goes but, though the sky is still heavily overcast, at least it is ‘dry’ just now.    I will go for a walk after I have a cuppa, having just woken up after falling asleep after taking a couple of pills for a migraine.   Migraines haven’t been a problem of late but this is the perfect kind of day to have one .... and to sleep it off!   The kettle will be boiling so I’m orf to make that cuppa.

19.00     Well I’ve had an enjoyable day .... I had a decent walk over the golf course in the afternoon;  in fact I’m beginning to like wandering ‘at will’ all over the course, there’s something therapeutic about it.    Mind you it’s awfie quiet;   it’s mair exciting when golfers are thrashing their clubs around in the rough!   

It hasn’t been a ‘bonnie’ day but at least the afternoon was dry.... I think tomorrow is going to be slightly less heavily overcast with a chance of a brighter spell in the afternoon.... and probably colder.

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

 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
