Bright, sunny and ... warm!

28th May 2021 (Friday)      10.30 .... this is the weather we have dreaming


about;   it’s bright, sunny and warm .... shorts weather really, but the waist-band of my shorts has shrunk with.... lack of usage!    

We have a lovely morning and I have been for the paper, down to the harbour, clicked the camera button numerous times chatted to numerous people;  I have had an enjoyable morrrrrrrrrrrning.    I would have gone through Elie Estate but the bike battery was low;  it’s now being charged.   If the roads are not too busy I’ll go ‘inland’ in the afternoon.


16.00    It has been a gorgeous day.... unfortunately  a cool onshore breeze  and a thin layer of cloud, took the edge of the temperature, in the afternoon... and there’s the possibility of haar drifting in off the North Sea.    It was brilliant at ‘my time’ of day.


Ferry Road has been extremely busy with vehicles; at one time it was like London Road in Uckfield;  however it has calmed down now.   I had thought of going out on the bike but changed my mind;   the bike has a fully charged battery so I might go for a longer ‘paper run’ tomorrow morning..... if the weather is fine.   The weather forecast is good for the weekend but .... this is the East Neuk, and the North Sea can influence our weather forecasts.  




19.00    I’ve had a good day;   I even managed to do some work in the garden.    It wasn’t really a day for working in the kitchen, but I made 5 Cottage Pies for the freezer when the bike battery was being charged.     And.... read the paper, did a Soduko  .... then fell asleep, in the Hutte.

 ‘Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ is the forecast for KY9 tomorrow, so it looks like

'Archie' - the Elie skiff being launched.

we’ll be having another nice day;  the ‘gentle breeze’ is going to be onshore again and cool, with the threat of haar in the afternoon, but no mention of rain.    I’ll go out early, and might even take in Elie Estate on the way home.

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
