Warm and sunny ....

20th July 2021 (Tuesday)   07.00 .... ‘sunny intervals with a gentle breeze from


the east’ is forecast for KY9 today.... already the thermometer is reading 15C, but the cloud/ haar does look slightly menacing at times; though, with a bit of luck, the sun should burn it back out to sea, giving us another hot afternoon. 

16.00   Wellll .... I had a cracker o’ a ‘paper run’ this mornin’:  the haar was defusing the light, and I saw rectangles that just had to be ‘clicked’, all around me.   I did a fair amount of clicking on my way round.   Strangely enough I didn’t visit the harbour;  but did go to Woodhaven, for a change, before going through Elie Estate and into the ‘Pony Field’ on the way home.   It was warm then....  and still is with the thermometer reading 23C in spite of a cool onshore breeze.     guess it will feel slightly cooler on the beach.

'Maw with the five bairns following.

There was a klaxon start competition on the golf course, with players starting from every tee at 09.00.... so I got a few ‘golf’ photographs.   I need to set myself up on Lundar Law some morning (that gives me the cliffs in the background), to get a few more golf shots.

I have often wondered where my days go;  it took me until 12.30 to sort through the photographs I took this morning.   No wonder I’m tired at night. 

21.00     There’s a chill in the air this evening.... right enough the breeze is from the East, and the sun is going down so it should be cooler;  and feels much more so after the heat of the afternoon.    There’s a warning for ‘hot’ weather, covering ‘Sunny Sussex’ and other parts of England later in the week:  and... we have to conserve water.   Summer is here right enough.

‘Positive cases of COVID are beginning to rise around the East Neuk’.... that doesn’t


come as a surprise, considering how busy the East Neuk is.   I guess we’ll just have to continue, as we have been doing for the past 18 months... stay away from pubs and crowds, wear masks where necessary, washing hands.... and hope that the protection, offered by the jabs, doesn’t wear off too soon.

It has been another bonnie day.... and tomorrow is going to be much the same though it may be cloudier at first.    I might head out on the bike in the morning but that all depends on how warm it is .... and how busy I am.   Busy?.... somehow I don’t think that will be a problem.

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
