Definitely wintry ....

10th February 2021 (Wednesday)      09.30 .... It is much colder this

The Ferry High Street at sunrise time.

morning.... and we’ve had more snow so it is also very wintry;  the snow on the car roof is about four inches deep so it must be that on the ground as well.

I did the same walk as I did yesterday, with the camera at a different format setting but it’s still not the one I had;  today’s photos are skinnier..... more panoramic.   I know how to change the settings now .... so I’ll get it right the next time I’m out.

Although I did the same walk as I did yesterday the photo’s are completely different;  not just because of their shape.... but because the sky is completely different, but still interesting.   Today’s sky is once more a photographer’s dream, if they like active shower clouds... and today’s shower clouds are active.   There’s. a proper wintry feel to the air.

The beach at sunrise time.

12.00     Well .... now I know what the fatigue is that you get with the jab.    I decided to go to the beach, for the second time this morning, and do part of the walk I did earlier... with the camera at another format setting.   The setting is alright, but my word I it took me a while to get back to Ivy.   I didn’t realise I could get so ‘fatigued’ so quickly.   I was glad to get back home and have a cuppa.... after which I felt fine again.   Now I need lunch.

14.30   A few minutes ago I heard the postie at the door;   when I went to see what surprises he had delivered (it’s usually junk mail that goes straight into the grey bin).    Today I found a box from Parcel force.   I checked the address ... it was addressed to ‘Albert Lawrie, The Royal Burgh etc.’... so it was for me right enough.   What was in this mysterious box?    Two Selkirk Bannocks from ‘Dalgetty the Artisan Baker’s’ in Galashiels.    Donald had organised them via the Dalgetty online shop.... knowing how much I love Selkirk Bannocks.   ‘Thank You Donald’;  they will be very much ‘enjoyed’.   In fact I have eaten one third of one of them already, so the ‘use by date’ (the end of March) has nae chance of becoming operational.

21.00   I have just discovered that I didn’t actually ‘update' the Hutte at all this morning

Sunrise time.

though I did type it up.   I must have been too excited by the clouds.   Anyway I’ll update it all at once after this. 

 In the middle of the afternoon In decided that the car wheels needed to be turned so ‘we’ went to .... yep ... the harbour.   Later in the afternoon I went down to the beach (for the third time today) at sunset time;  it has been a brilliant day for moody skies;  but I didn’t go very far.  I was glad to get back to Ivy again... and a refreshing cuppa.   Tomorrow’s walk will be much shorter.

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
