Showery....

 

7th January 2021 (Thursday)      07.00 .... We’ve had sleet/rain showers

Clearing sky.

overnight and they are to be with us for most of the morning.    It’s not frosty but it is cold.... and frost might come with dawn.

The USA continues to have problems with ‘democracy’;   there would appear to be more than one rotten apple in the American democracy barrel.  Hopefully it will all be settled peacefully.

09.00   We have one dreich morning;  overcast with sleet/rain showers:   there’s snow all along the high ground, including the Balcarres Ridge and eastward to Kellie Law and beyond and the roads are  wet... though the pavements in Pittenweem and Anstruther were white.   The showers are supposed to move away by lunch time leaving us with sunny spells.... but it disnae look promising right now.

Peaceful afternoon.

With the weather being of the, what I call of the ‘retail therapy’ kind I decided to bumble along to ‘The Store’ to do a shopping first thing.  I didn’t intend going in if the shop looked busy.... but it wasn’t.    In fact, apart from workmen going in for their morning paper and goodies, there was only myself and another two ‘serious’ shoppers’ using a trolley.

11.00    Yes .... the sky is beginning to lighten and the Lochgelly webcam has some ‘bloo’ bits showing;   we should have a brighter afternoon.    Pity it will be short.    Tomorrow is going to be sunny ..... and cold.    It’s morning coffee time!

22.00    Everything is where it should be at the harbour..... I eventually went down there in the afternoon!    On the way home I stopped at the Toft to take a few photos, and met Mr ‘B’ (Steve) who was out for his afternoon exercise.    By this time the temperature was beginning to drop so we chatted for a wee while before going our separate ways;  Steve to the harbour.... me to Ivy and a hot cuppa.

There’s no ‘plan’ for tomorrow.... except that I won’t be going out on the bike.   It is

Largo Law.

forecast to be cold all day with the temperature just above freezing;  but it should be sunny most of the time.   I’m orf to make my bedtime mug of  ‘orlicks.   I’m having some funny dreams just now;  kinda looking forward to seeing what I’m going to get tonight.

Thankfully the USA is quieter tonight;  that said they are only beginning the new day, but let’s hope it is calmer than yesterday was.

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
