Quiet overcast morning .....

13th May 2021 (Thursday)      08.00 ....  We’re in for a series of grey days,


with an Easterly breeze bring ‘stuff’ in from the North sea;   although grey it should be dry most of the time, though somewhat  ‘cheerless’ looking.    That said.... there are  always  ‘different’ photographs to be found, and this is Elie and Earlsferry, so we could have ‘sunny spells’.   I’ll go for the paper later in the morning, though I doubt if it will be very warm today;  not as warm as it should be... or as I’d like it to be.

21.00      Although the day has been overcast... with a cold Easterly wind;  it has passed quickly..... and at the end of the afternoon we had a few decent sunny spells, but unfortunately not for long.

I didn’t go for the paper until 10.30.... hoping it would be warmer.    I suppose it was but breeze kept the temperature down.... and you all know what I think of wind from the East.   As Jimmy used to say “when the wind’s fae the East, the fishin’s the least”.


The harbour was quiet.... the tide was full out then, so I went down the slip by the Harbour Cafe (the Cafe area, beginning to take shape, is looking good and opens on the 17th June).... to take a few photos.   The sky was overcast but that doesn’t stop Elie and Earlsferry looking bonnie.... just a different kind of ‘bonnie’.    I enjoy where we live, and there’s always someone interesting to talk too;  today I met, and chatted to numerous friends;  I think we are all more relaxed now that we’ve had the vaccine.   We have to remain aware of the virus because of the variants that are around the country;  I hope we don’t end up with a new ‘wave’.

I thought of going home by way of the Estate then remembered the heavy showers of yesterday so went ‘up’ the Elie road and 'down' the Ferry Road’ ... diverting into the Pony Field on the way.   The main road was busy (A917) so I won’t be doing that very often.

Tomorrow is going to be another overcast day with stuff coming in from the North Sea....

Golfers on the 18th tee.

with the slight chance of a few sunny spells later in the afternoon.    I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) around mid morning.

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
