Bright, with a frisky breeze ....

 22nd December 2020 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... ‘Sunny, with a gentle breeze’


is our weather forecast for today..... let’s get out and enjoy.    I might even have coffee with ‘The Boss’ as the light breeze is from the WSW so the seat is sheltered.    It will be cool on the beach at sunrise time, but I’ll have a wander down there in a wee while .... got to have another cuppa.     Sunrise is at 08.43.

11.00    We have a gorgeous day... and it began with a crackin’ sunrise.    Not only that, sunrise coincided with high tide and the local BTSC swimmer (girls and boys)  going in for their morning dip.  That was a bonus;   sunrise and action beach/seascape photographs....  loved it.  


19.00    I ended up having a busy day but not on the bike ... though I did make time to go up to Chapel Green;  but no long run to Colinsburgh.   Chapel Green was busier than I thought it would be in the middle of the day;  a bonnie day I should add.     It was cold in the wind, but a good day to be out.... well wrapped up.    Tomorrow is going to be cloudier so I’ll leave going for a decent run (on the bike) until Thursday.  Thursday is forecast to be sunny and cold.    Tomorrow, I think, will be a ‘hang around Ivy day’;   doing stuff in the front garden.  

21.30     My goodness .... I feel sorry for all the lorry drivers trying to get back home, to different European countries, but are now stuck in Kent.   All caused by the threat of the ‘new’ variant of COVID-19.  There does seem to be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel...  if they can get a ‘test and go’ operation up and running.  

The gritter went down the road earlier because we are forecast to have a spell of cold,


potentially frosty, weather around Christmas.    No white Christmas forecast for our area.... though the higher ground of the highlands will have a good covering of snow.

I am tired and ready for bed and a read of my book.    We are sailing along the north of Australia and hope to travel down the East coast to Sydney tonight.   The author has to spend a lot of time (and money) keeping ‘Sheila’ (the yacht) sea worthy and in good nick.   She is an impressive and has come through a lot of heavy weather.

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
