Frosty morning ....

11th April 2021 (Sunday)      07.00 .... It’s a nice morning but there’s a touch

Angus .... having a walk round the harbour.

of frost, and the car windscreen needs scraping.    The thermometer is reading -1C so not that cold but there’s is a breeze so wind chill makes it feel like -12C .... only jokin’ ... it’s more like -3C.    It looks like being a bonnie day, but the weather forecast for KY9 is ...’hail showers and a gentle breeze’.... that said, remember that "every cloud has a silver lining"... there could be bonnie clouds.    

09.00    The Lammermuirs (Sooth side) have a covering of snow which is a sure sign of a spell of wintry weather;  right now we have a lovely day but the wind is cold.   However wrapping up can take care of that.... we have clothes to take care of even the worst of Scottish weather.    I didn’t see many clouds on the way home from Anstruther (I’ve been to The Store’)..... but, they could build up later in the day;  as they did yesterday.   I think I deserve a cup of coffee after a busy morning .... and I haven’t had breakfast yet.   Flap now ‘on’.

15.30    I ‘went’ to the kirk....the online service is almost like actually being ‘there’:  only the friendly, face to face chat is missing.   That is what the Room, at the end of the service, is all about of course.... but I am not good in a room.     I like the content of the service.


We have had some snow/hail showers this afternoon, so I haven’t been out anywhere yet;  but that’s not the reason for not being out.   Having been sound asleep for just over an hour, I have reached the conclusion that tiredness is a side effect of the ‘jab;  this is longer than my normal catnap.  Now that I am feeling  refreshed I’ll go somewhere,  in the car.... after a cuppa.   

19.00   The  ‘somewhere’ mentioned above,  turned out to be the harbour;  where else?     I noticed (on the weather cams) that we had a heavy shower coming our way and thought the harbour was the place to be.   It was .... the light was fantastic.    I had a great time .... and managed to record the scene.    The harbour is alive again.... which means more photos of boats.    No I will be expanding my horizons in a couple of weeks, once the weather is warmer and the ‘jabs’ have taken full effect;   another couple of harbours.... Pettycur and Kinghorn will be the first mission.     Anyway


I did enjoy my visit to the harbour .... it was really enjoyable.   











21.30‘Bright and sunny with a gentle breeze’ is the forecast for us tomorrow .... and it should feel warmer.   This has been an enjoyable day for me;  now I’m ready for a mug of chocolate then orf to bed with a book.

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
