Yellow Warning for thundery showers .....

27th July 2021 (Tuesday)    07.00 .... Fife is covered by a Yellow Warning for


thundery showers from midday until midnight today, then by a Yellow Warning for heavy rain from midnight until 06.00 on Wednesday.   It would appear that there’s a ‘good chance of precipitation’ at some point, in the next 24 hours.    Actually there is a better feel to the air this morning, which means we have a lower pollen/pollution count.   I ‘plan’ to go out later in the morrrrrrrrning, after the sun has broken through .....  and the clouds are starting to build.  




18.30    I eventually went out at 12.30, but only as far as Chapel Green;  in case I forgot about the Tesco delivery, due between 14.00 and 15.00.   It was misty and warm and I enjoyed a quiet contemplate on The Boss’s seat..... slightly disappointed 'cos I'd been looking for big clouds.   The beach was quiet (it was lunch time) but I imagine it would be busy once the mist lifted;  which it had done, by the time the Tesco van arrived at 14.30.   The next hour I spent putting the messages away and having a celebratory cuppa when I’d finished.    It’s a lovely evening;  I might take a turn down to the beach later.

21.30    The latest weather forecast has the worst of the rain /thundery showers  further West and North, but we should catch some heavy showers over the next 24 hours.   There have been thunder storms, dotted all over the country, but not huge storms with multiple lightning strikes.    The nearest lightning strike to us was single one at Methil.    The sky is heavy so we will could well have some heavy overnight rain/showers.

I am organised for Michael and Janice;   all I have to do is be at Kirkcaldy station to meet the London train at 15.06.

This has been a ‘funny’ day for me;  the hot humid weather disnae agree with me at all.... I ended up with a migraine in the middle of the afternoon.   If we do get thunder it will clear the air, in fact the forecast is ‘mixed’ for the next few days.... sunny spells with showers etc.

It’s great seeing, and hearing young folk around the villages;  young voices that sound

full of the joys of being .... just young.  I can remember being ‘young’, and enjoying being young;  now, I am older and likin’ being old; meeting and chatting to people from all over.   We have a good mix of young and not so young people in our villages, all enjoying life in their own way.   I’d better get the chocolate under way then orf to bed.... I have a busy day tomorrow.

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
