Misty and warm ....


26th June 2020  (Friday)     06.30 .... it’s misty and humid;    not the maist
Looking towards Earlsferry from The Toft.
exciting looking morning.... and there’s yellow warning for heavy thundery showers, from midday through to tomorrow at 09.00.    There are already lightning strikes in Northwest of England and the Southwest of Scotland so it looks like the thundery showers will reach us as per forecast.   Orf to get the paper.


08.00     The fog is thicker than I thought at first.... a nice enough morning otherwise.   I changed my mind and took the car up for the paper (thought it needed a run);  the bike will be staying in The Hutte today I’m thinkin’ because it looks like rain isn’t far away and I started the morning with a migraine.
The beach at 09.30.

 11.00     I’ve been out on the bike (which is now being charged).... only round the villages to get a few foggy’ photos, but it was enjoyable, having met and talked to Anne (Dunlop) on the way along Liberty then Steve at the harbour.   The thunder has been ‘put back’ to evening time.   I was going to say that I have a thundery headache but, I’ve just remembered, that will be the migraine and not the weather.  (I’ve taken a couple of pills so I’ll fall asleep in the Hutte).   The earlier thunder storms over Glasgow way have all faded out.... so we could have a nice, but possibly misty, afternoon.
14.30     The bike is fully charged and I fancy going out but there’s been one lightning
After the rain.
strike in the Star of Markinch area so that idea was short lived.    There’s a thunderstorm moving towards Edinburgh from the Galalshiels but thunder isn’t supposed to reach Fife until the evening.   I’ll have a cuppa then check the Lightning site again.

16.30   We had a couple of rumbles of thunder with lightning strikes in Largo Bay and Largoward and a spell of heavy rain.... but the rain has stopped and the sky is clearing.   I’ll have a wander to the beach to how the clouds are;  and how busy the beach is.


The hole.
21.00    When I went out intending to go to the beach I had a sudden change of ‘plan’, ....there’s a big hole been dug in Ferry Road and holes  need to be looked at;  so I ended up going for a walk on the golf course and to get there I had to pass the hole.   It’s a good hole;  I’ve seen deeper holes, but this one is interesting nonetheless.   I browsed it (the hole) then wandered up to the Pony Field and along the top of the quarry.   Everything looked fresh after the heavy rain, the sky was busy and I was content.

Mixed weather forecast for tomorrow so it’s unlikely that I’ll get out biking.... however I have other things to do

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
