Light frost ....

21st January 2023 (Saturday)    07.30 .... There’s rime on the car windscreen


but it isn’t hard frozen;  I won’t use the car until the sun has risen and (hopefully) melts the rime anyway.  At the moment we have light frost with a raw feel to the air.... it’s cauld!   KY9 is forecast to have ‘heavy cloud with a moderate breeze’ today;  but I’m looking for sunny spells, though it might be a forlorn hope as there’s the chance of ‘light precipitation’ later in the afternoon.    At this time I am thinking about going to the beach to catch the dawn sky;  after I have another cuppa.

10.00   It was brilliant on the beach;  the sky was spectacular and continually changing. ... so I have a wheen o’ photies tae play wi’, having been down there from dawn through to sunrise;  it was very peaceful and relaxing.    It’s now morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee time.

11.30    The paper has been uplifted, and Alan tormented;  I’ve had a good morning.   The ‘sunny spells’ I was looking for have been with us all morning... so, I am now feeling ‘playful’ and might go down to the beach after a lite bite lunch.   It’s actually a nice day.... and warmer than of late.  

 


20.45  This has been a better day for me;  I had been worried that the ‘flu I had in December would set me back into ‘long COVID’ but I think that isn’t the case, ‘cos I’m feeling almost ‘normal me’.   I had a walk up to the golf course at sunset time though I knew from the Weather Cams that the sun would most likely set behind clouds.   It did:  however I enjoyed the wee bit o’ exercise.  And that reminds me that I have some photographs to browse. 

I see that King Charles has donated the excessive profits from wind turbines, on the  Crown Estates, to the Nation.   Will there now be a rush of other windfall beneficiaries donating their profits to the Nation?    I very much doubt it.  

‘Thick cloud and moderate breeze.... with a chance of precipitation’ is the weather for


our area tomorrow;  but it should be noticeably warmer.   Could be a day to stay in and do some drawing.

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
