Interesting sky ....

3rd January 2021 (Sunday)      10.00 .... It’s cloudier, with a lot of showers


going  around... especially along towards Crail.    It’s cold but not as cold as I expected it to be...it is above freezing and was so even at 06.30.

I remembered to pick up the paper, before going to the harbour, this morning;  I did a ‘round the villages’ in the car this morning;   I might go out later once the sun gets going. 



19.30      I had no intention of doing any ‘ousework today .... but....  that’s what I ended up doing.   The Festive season is weel and truly over.  With heavy showers and sunny spells today’s weather has been mixed so I guess that’s what got me into a ‘working mood.   Anyway I feel contented (and tired) at the end of the day.   

 Todays 'Blue Tits SC' swimmers.

We have had a lot of big clouds today so I went down to the beach at sunset time.... it was really nice at this time.    And it coincided with high tide and that’s when the Blue Tits SC go for their daily swim so they brought the beach photos to life.   The beach was busy at that time; it was a really bonnie end to the day and a lot of folks were enjoying it.    When I woke up this morning I felt ‘sluggish’;  not really in the mood to do very much.    However, I got more into gear after a shower.   I usually feel a bit melancholy after the Festive Season.    I’ll have an early night in bed.

Unlike me, the bin-men weren’t sluggish;  the ‘Bloo’ bin was emptied by the time I got back to Ivy with the paper.   That reminds me I have not read the paper yet.   I’ll do that tomorrow.

Tomorrow looks like being another ‘sunny spells with light winds day’ but the showers

Busy beach at sunset time.

are going to be fewer.   I won’t make a ‘plan’ for tomorrow until I see how I feel and what the weather is doing.   I have been feeling ‘creative’ ever since Emily (granddaughter) sent me a Christmas present of one of my photographs that she did, as an oil painting.   I’ll take a photo of it tomorrow.   I also got a lot of interesting books .... books always help me out of the doldrums at this time of year.

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
