Peaceful morrrrrrrning ....

30th April 2022 (Saturday)      07.00.... it’s warmer than I expected it to be this

'Dod'.

early ....the garden thermometer is showing 8C so I’ll get the bike out to go for the paper.... and buy a scarecrow map.   Just now there’s a light breeze off the East.... with a ‘slight chance of precipitation’ (light showers) later in the afternoon so a bonnie day albeit with more cloud around.   

10.00   It’s a lovely ‘go out to play’ morning:  and I did.    I’ve been for the paper (and scarecrow map) then down to the harbour.... on the bike.   There’s a light breeze off the sea;  it’s cool but not cold.   I met ‘Dod’ going for his paper;  this event has been recorded for posterity.   I’m going to have another cuppa before having a walk down to the beach.

Barbara.

18.00   Instead of going to the beach I louped onto the bike and went up to Chapel Green;  this is the second time out on the bike today so I’ll be sair tomorrow.    I haven’t done much biking over the past four weeks;  I had an ‘setback’ at the Breakwater ‘iggzactly’ four weeks ago. 

The main excitement of the day was our ‘Royal Burgh’ wedding this afternoon;  with lots of guests looking like they had stepped straight out of Vogue.   I managed to get some photos of guests going to the church... and of the wedding cars.   No photographs of the bride unfortunately;  I managed to be at the wrong side of the road when her car passed by.   That said I am happy with the ones I did get.... sort of my kind of memories of the day.   Unfortunately it started to rain (only light.... but wet) about 14.45;  I doubt if it would be much of a damper on such a happy day.

I had intended going to the beach in the evening but the rain, though light, is


persistent.... and looks like it’s here for the evening.

20.30    The rain is really very light so I went to the beach to get a few photos of the Wedding marquee lit up for the Reception:  it looks very cosy.    The band started up when I was down there.... a happy sound at the end of a happy day.

The rain is going to move away and it should be cloudy but dry tomorrow morning.

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
