Beautiful morning ....

 

23rd August 2020 (Sunday)     09.00 .... I’ve had a really enjoyable

Earlsferry.
morrrrrrning and all I’ve done is go round the villages picking up my paper from Cath in the ‘paper shop’ in the passing.    It is a good morning for photographs, and I was lucky, apart from the usual scenic photos... there was a dingy being launched at the harbour, and ..... I managed to be at the beach in time to catch  the ‘Blue Tits Swimming Club’ going into the water.     Yes  .... this morning has been a successful ‘paper run’.      Alas, I can’t  do anything with the photos until my new card reader arrives;   hopefully tomorrow.

Having just had breakfast I now  have a washing ready to hang on the line:  I’ll do that, make a cuppa, then browse the photos on the camera.

17.00      The afternoon had been a bit of a let down .... especially after an enjoyable morning:  It has been overcast with light rain.... that said, the sun is beginning to break through just now so we might have a bonnie evening.   I charged up the bike with a view to going out in the afternoon, but ended up watching  the tele:  ‘Hercule Poirot’ solving multiple murders.   I’m ever so slightly frustrated not being able to ‘play’ with today’s photographs. 

The Royal Mail tracker tells me that my card reader is at the Yorkshire Distribution Centre (Wakefield) and that it should be delivered on Tuesday. 

The 'Bouncy Castle'.
21.00     Although the sun did break through it was only for a short time .... but the evening, though overcast, has been dry.   As far as I can see from the forecast tomorrow is going to be mostly cloudy but dry after some overnight light rain;  and there’s a chance of sunny spells in the afternoon.   The wind is going to be light, from various directions, throughout the day:  probably means that the wind is going back to the East again.  

No ‘plan’ for tomorrow but .... my word... I am finding it wearisome not being able to work on photographs.   I can look at them on the wee screen on the camera but that’s not the same as seeing them on the computer screen.   One thing I am getting good at is solving the Midsomer Murders faster than Chief Inspector Barnaby and his Sergeant!

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
