Misty with cool onshore breeze ....

25th August 2021 (Wednesday)    09.00 .... It’s misty with a cool onshore

Barbara.

breeze this morning, but ... the sun should burn the mist back by the afternoon,....  unfortunately  the east Coast is forecast to be cooler and cloudier today.   I’ll go for the paper about 11.00 .... once the sun starts to make inroads on the mist.   It’s not the best of ‘drying days’ but I have a washing going through the machine;  I’m feeling optimistic that the combination of breeze, sunshine ... and moonshine tonight, should dry it.

15.00    It was misty when I eventually went for the paper, but it was pleasantly warm.... and, although generally grey, there was a lot going on, and the colourful sails of the dinghies etc. are always there to brighten the scene.  The broke through after lunch and we have a ‘sunny with the threat of haar’ kind of afternoon.   I must venture up to The Hutte;  there’s Soduko that needs to be done.


22.00   My word ... we did have a lovely evening;  and I just had to go out.  I went to the ‘Harvie-Watt Family’ seat at the sixth tee, to get a few shots of golfers enjoying the evening, then round to Chapel Green to get shots of Elie and Earlsferry in the evening sunshine.   I enjoyed the evening sun, and got the evening photographs I wanted;  so I’m a happy boy.   There are a lot of wasps using the seat as a source of wood, to make paper for their nest;  at first the colour of wasps automatically sent warning signals to the brain cell; but I soon settled down, and left them to get on with it.

I’ve had a reasonably busy day today;  and... the washing dried so ironing it will be the next job....or the first one tomorrow.   Tomorrow is going to be another day much like today;  misty at first then clearing to a bonnie afternoon.   I have a bit of work to do but I’m sure that I’ll find time to go out and play.... though I might leave that until evening time.

The news from Afghanistan continues to dominate our News Channels;  the airlift of


those wanting to get out of Afghanistan is up to speed now, but they have only a few more days before the ‘line in the sand’... the 31st.  When you think about it;  If everyone that wants to leave Afghanistan is allowed to leave .... the Taliban would be the only ones left.

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
