It's a really lovely morning ....

 

15th September 2020 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... The sky is overcast, and I

The 'Fringe of Gold'.


suppose there is the threat of a light shower, but is a really warm, peaceful morning.   I remembered to go for the paper this morning (on the bike) ... and I’ve been round the villages:  you will be pleased to know that everything is where it should be.   Oh ... this is for those folk who never see the dolphins;  today I am going to divulge the secret.    All you have to do is find out where Marcia is.... and go the other way!     How do you find Marcie? .... er ... if you can see the dolphins go the other way.

I have the bike ‘on charge’ just now ready for a mission up to Balcarres later this week.... well when there’s a really sunny day.


18.30    We’ve had a really warm, balmy summer’s day and I have been out enjoying it.... and so were a lot of other folk.   I did think of going to Balcarres but the temptation of reflections at high tide was too much.... so I have been out twice, and taken a lot of photos.   I walked to the beach around about midday.... that’s when I got the swans in Elie Bay, then went up to Chapel Green in the middle of the afternoon.    I didn’t forget about Stage 16 of ‘The Tour’.... I watched the last half hour!  

It’s going to be cloudier and it’s bound to be windier tomorrow ‘cos there wasn’t any wind today.   What wind we do get tomorrow is to come from the  East so it will be cooler.  Pity... I was beginning to think ‘summer’ thoughts:  you know ....things like sun cream, thinner jersey and fewer layers etc.

20.30     I see from the forecast that it is going to be noticeably colder tomorrow... in fact,


having been out to lock up the Hutte etc, I’d say it is already colder;  and especially  after the warm afternoon.

I plan to have a lie in tomorrow morning, because I haven’t a ‘plan’ for tomorrow at all.  Writing is one of my ways of relaxing and have two projects going at the moment.   They should keep me going through the winter.... so if it's overcast and cold I may do some of that.

Today is a very important date in the annual calendar;  I won’t need tell you because you will all know, and if not, I’m sure someone will have been  brave enough to mention the significance of today’s date.

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
