Damp morning ....

15th November 2021 (Monday)    09.30 .... Dampish start to the day, but we


should have sunny spells later;  when I hope o go out on the bike.  I’ve been for (and got) the paper, and visited the harbour to catch the sunrise.   Where the sun is rising just now is perfect for sunrise shots of the lighthouse.   Hence the sunrise shot of the lighthouse.   There was a bit of light Scotch Mist at the harbour but it was the tail end of the light rain we had during the night.  




20.00    It has been a beautiful, sunny and warm, day.... and I have been out enjoying it.    In the garden? ...... not this boy ....I’ve been out on the bike to see, and record, all the activity around Earlsferry and Kinneuchar.   We had two huge cranes working at new build houses in The Ferry; ‘Chapel Green House and ‘Four Winds’.   

We had ‘Teal’, a dive boat, in Elie bay doing something;  presumably fishing.    On the ‘Marine app it is making for Methil.    That was well photographed, and it looked there was a diver in the water, going by the lines I could see going under the water, and a bloke making sure they didn't get snagged.

'Four Winds' crane.

From Chapel Green I scuttled up to Kinneuchar to photograph the temporary traffic lights at the West entrance to the village, then up into the kirkyard to have a browse.    I then scuttled my way back to The Ferry meeting, and had a wee bit of difficulty on Ferry Road when I ended up with two bright lights in my eyes;  one of them was Barbara, out for her daily walk, the other was the sun.   Actually I didn’t realise it was Barbara at first because of the light;  we chatted then continued on our separate ways, Barbara to walk through the estate, and me back to Ivy.






21.00    I’ve had a ‘happy’ day; there’s no doubting it.... the sun makes a huge difference as to how ‘happy’ we feel.    Tomorrow is going to be slightly cloudier, and breezier, but that won’t stop us from enjoying ourselves.    I was thinking of going to Colinsburgh if it’s sunny; the sun brightens the autumn colours.   However if it is cloudy I’ll have a birl round the villages, and hope to meet a few rays of sunshine on my way.   
Orf to see what I can find to watch on the tele.

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
