Clouds and sunny spells ....

17th December 2022 (Saturday)     09.15 ....It’s cold but not frosty and


there’s a lot of cloud about.     The sun is ‘up’ and we’ve had an early sunny spell;  ‘light cloud and a fresh breeze’ is the weather forecast ... with sunny spells and a low chance of precipitation (showers).  The wind is frisky so there will be a bit o’ wind chill.  There should be interesting clouds.




20.45    I photographed my way round The Ferry when delivering  the Christmas Cards this morning , and ended up resting my weary legs and  having coffee with Irene and Ken.   It has been a good day for being out, though I was warmly wrapped up against the frisky wind.   Having done The Ferry’ I had a light lunch and a short catnap before taking the car up to Elie at sunset time and delivering a few of the Elie cards.    I’ll finish the cards off tomorrow.

The new 'Four Winds'.

I met Chris (Mennie) coming out of his Mum’s when delivering Dorothy’s card so I  went in and had a chat with Dorothy.   I must visit Dorothy more;  she is one of our original Ferry Road friends.   I was getting ready to leave when Dorothy got a phone call from Chris;  Izzy and Alice had turned up to visit me.   Luckily Chris met them and was able to tell me that they had turned up.   They had the kettle ‘on’ by the time I got 

back to Ivy, to entertain two of my ‘girlfriends’.   It’s not easy being me.   The girls had the coffee organised, so we had a happy hour chatting and having a good old reminisce and laugh.

We had a cracker o’ a sunset sky which I captured from ‘The Toft’;  not a super spectacular sunset but a bonnie mix of warm colours.   This should mean a ‘delightful


day’ tomorrow;  but there’s a Yellow warning of ‘snow, rain and ice’ for Fife tomorrow, so we’ll have to wait to see what we get in the morrrrrrrrning.   The gritter went round the Ferry this afternoon so the Fife roads Dept. must be expecting ice ... even Elie and Earlsferry.

Maureen (Lesley's sister) was telling me that the diversion route (via Largoward is going to be in place until sometime in January, because of the inclement weather (frost).

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
