Overcast but warmer ....

15th April 2022 (Friday)    06.30 ....it’s a quiet morning;  the sky is overcast


and there’s only a light breeze (Easterly); not a great drying day.   I’m having a cuppa before going for a paper and taking a run down to the harbour ..... in the car.    I’m feeling considerably less stressed than I was yesterday, and looking forward to pottering about day;  I might even go out on the bike later as the air feels warmer..... and the sun is trying harder to break through.

09.30    I’ve been for the paper (in the car)... and down to the harbour where it was pleasing to see the boats back on the water.... well they would have been on the water if the tide hadn’t been out.    I came home by way of Abercrombie, the Colinsburgh straight and Kinneuchar to give the car battery a good charge.   I’m now having a cuppa before deciding what to do next.   We had a short sunny spell when I was at the harbour but the sky is mostly overcast now;  apart from a clear sky over the Lammermuir Hills. 


12.00    The sun is fighting a losing battle trying to burn off the cloud.... it is a dour looking day now, and colder than it was when I was at the harbour this morning, but at least it’s dry.    I won’t be biking today;  unless we get a late batch of sunny spell;  so it looks like being a computer afternoon for ‘the boy’.

16.45    I enjoyed the best time of the day at the harbour in the early morning;  since then it has been colder but the sky is brightening up as I type.   It’s too cold for the bike but I might have a short walk in the evening.   I’ve had a lazy day but after yesterday’s ‘excitement’ a lazy day is ‘iggzactly’ what I needed.   I think tomorrow is forecast to be warmer. 

Going by the number of cars going down Ferry Road the villages are busy; which is good, as long as they are not choc-a-bloc.   I’ll get up early tomorrow morning and go out, on the bike, before the roads are busy.

21.30   I had a walk up to the Pony Field late in the early evening;  the sun was breaking


through now and again making for an interesting sky and light.  The golf course was busy so I got a few moody misty shots of players coming along the 17th fairway.  

I have already said that the ‘plan’ is to get 'up and out' early tomorrow morrrrrning.... I'll then potter around Ivy for the remainder of the day;  there’s much needing to be done in the garden..

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
