Showery ....

23rd October 2022 (Sunday)   09.30 .... we have a mild start to the day with


occasional showers... and bonnie clouds.   I went to the harbour (in the car) to catch the sun rising over the East links... the harbour was quiet;  in fact I was the only one down there!    However, the villages look busy (loads o’ parked cars) so I’ve no doubt the harbour will be busy later on.   I hope to go out on the bike.... but that depends on how frequent the showers are.   I’m hungry’.



12.30    I got lucky with the camera this morning;  towards the East I had the sun rising and to the West a rainbow appeared.   I have numerous photos of both.   Although bonnie the rainbow meant ‘iggzactly’ what its name suggests... ‘rain’.   I had to hirple hurriedly to the car, which thankfully wasn’t far.   The sky is mostly overcast now and we’ve had a light shower;  we might have had more showers but I fell asleep.   I’ll have some lunch now then see what the weather is doing in the middle of the afternoon: my favourite weather, sunny spells, would be good.


19.00    The ‘sunny spells’ that I wanted never arrived;  but rain did and we had a wet end to the afternoon. ‘Sunny Sussex’, and the Southeast had thunderstorms.... which are moving Northeast and over the North Sea so they shouldn’t bother us.

The boats are being ‘Craned Our’ tomorrow so I need a change in the weather;  cloudy and dry would be fine..... sunny spells better.


20.30    I’ve had a look at tomorrow’s weather forecast and it looks as if the rain is going to be with us most of the night; gradually moving away.. to leave us with ‘light cloud and a moderate breeze’ by the time the crane arrives: Could be bike friendly weather.   ‘Crane In’ is the main plan for tomorrow... in fact I’m going to have a ‘lie in’... I won’t get up until 07.00.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Larry is the most intelligent candidate for the job of


Prime Minister.

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
