Interesting clouds....

20th November 2022 (Sunday)     10.00....we have bonnie enough morning,


after some overnight rain;  whether there is more rain to come is in the lap of the Gods:  in the meantime wee have an interesting sky.   Iain went to the beach for sunrise;  I was in the shower.    After the sun broke through I had a short walk up to the golf course .... and took a few photos;  I’m a happy boy.




14.30    Iain set off for Auchnagatt about 13.00 and should have a, mostly, dry journey home.  There are showers around.... we’ve just had one ... but it didn’t last long.   At the moment I’m having a cuppa before having a daunder to the beach;  the late afternoon is looking bonnie....and I need some photographs to ‘play’ with this evening.

19.30    It was a bonnie later afternoon, and I wasn’t the only one enjoying it;  the beach was busy.  It’s good to see the villages busy at this time of year;  usually they are quiet.    The pandemic changed where people are taking their holidays.... and we have become a desirable holiday destination.    We always were;  but more people know about Elie and Earlsferry now:  and the whole of the East Neuk.


I had a ‘main’ course and a sweet for my main meal tonight;  the sweet was a ‘piece and jam’.   Iain brought a jar of Jackie’s homemade raspberry jam.   Actually I think I’ll be a glutton and have another piece and jam .... that will cheer me up.

Iain and I had a successful day today;  the main success being the shower.   The shower unit didn’t have to be replaced ‘cos it was a slack connection in the meter cupboard.   Anyway that has been done and I have had a shower!   I’ve been swithering about keeping a car at this time, but, since the buses stopped coming to The Ferry ( few years ago) there’s really no alternative.    So I take the car to Leven tomorrow to get it booked and get it’s MOT bits and pieces done.   There’s nothing catastrophic... the biggest item being a new headlamp.  

The weather forecast ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’;  it could be a good drying


day!   I’m going to put a washing through the machine, so that it can be hung out first thing in the morrrrrning.

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
