Early showers ....

     
18th May 2020 (Monday)      06.30 ....  My first thought when I looked out
Clearing sky over Elie and Earlsferry.
of the bedroom  window was “go back to bed and have another 8 hours kip-a-roonie””.    The sky was grey and it had been raining.   However when I actually went outside (having had a shower and put on some claes) I saw that the sky was breaking up from the Northwest and it was no longer raining (thought everything was wet);   it’s going to be a bonnie day and I am feeling frisk... but we could have a few rain showers yet.
08.30    I have been feeling ‘romantic’ this morning... full of the urge to share my stupidity with some innocent lady;  so I have decided to name my camera ‘Miranda’.    Ye Gods I’m full of cuddly romance this morrrrrrrrrrrrning. 

In the meantime the sky is trying hard to break up and give us that bonnie day that I mentioned earlier.    I’ve been for the paper and at the harbour (with ‘Miranda’) now I am ready to do things.   Well after a cuppa i.e.  
Pier head closed for essential maintenance.

10.30    As per forecast we have a bonnie day and I plan to go out on the bike after a light, mid morning snack (I’m starvin’ having been on the go since 05.30).    I can’t go into any of the estates because the roads/tracks will be wet but I can bumble my way around the villages and Kinneuchar .... perhaps even Colinsburgh.   It depends on how the mood takes ‘us’.  It’s warm in the garden just now, but it is windy so will be slightly less warm out in the open.   ‘Flap on’ .... done things;   can go out to play for a wee while now.
19.00    My word I’m tired after a busy (and productive) day.    I’ve been mostly busy on the computer but some of that ‘work’ is mair tiring than working in the garden.    I did manage to get out on the bike in the afternoon:   it was rather cloudy when I set off but the sun broke through them and it was pleasantly warm.   I went up to Kinneuchar then home via Elie Estate.   I was surprised to find the estate road wasn’t very wet at all.   I met Stewart at the boathouse;  he had been cutting the grass.    I caught up with
From the 'Ship Inn'  outside seating area.
all his ‘news’ before setting off for the harbour and freeing Stewart to do more work.
There’s been a lot of lovely clouds around today (even the threatening ones... in fact especially the threatening ones) so I managed to take a few photos of them.


It looks like tomorrow’s weather  is going to be much the same as today’s was;  ‘a chance of precipitation in the early part of the morning’ followed by cloudy with sunny spell in the afternoon.   I should get my computer stuff finished.

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
