Quiet morning ....

20th November 2021 (Saturday)      06.30 .... It’s a quiet morning... apart



from ‘Blob’, who was twittering away on top of the Rowan tree;  he’s now on top of the ‘broon’ bucket picking up digestive biscuit crumbs.   That’s my whole extent of feeding the bird(s), quarter of a crumbled up digestive biscuit for ‘Blob.

The sky is overcast (the starts weren’t visible) with a light breeze, and it’s warm.    Sunny spells are mentioned for the afternoon... and the temperature drop overnight.

17.30    We had a cracker of a sunrise sky and I was on the beach to enjoy it;  as was Chris and ‘Skye’.   I spent my time between the beach and the bench catching,...  well ....what was a kaleidoscope of colour for nearly an hour.   It was magic.     After I came off the beach I had to loup on the bike and go for the paper;  then up to Chapel Green to get a few pictures of Saipem 7000, the huge  crane, that’s in the Firth just now.    There was fresh Force 5 wind at that time, but it wasn’t cold, and in spite of the wind I managed to get decent photos of Saipem.   

Saipem 7000.

18.30     I’ve just been out at the bucket and already the air has a more seasonal feel to it; it’s cold.   I spent most of the afternoon browsing and sorting out this morning’s batch of photographs;  I never get bored looking through new photos of  our villages:   I would that Elie and The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry, plus the surrounding area is highly photogenic.

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

 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
