Misty .....

22nd May 2023 (Monday)    06.30 .... It’s a strange kind o’ mornin’; it’s misty


with a thundery feel in the air, but quiet and peaceful with only a light breeze from the west;   The weather forecast for KY 9 is.... (one and a half minute pause).... ‘light rain and a gentle breeze’.     I’ll have a look at the Lightning site to see if there is thunder around and where it is.   “I’m back”; there’s a huge area of thunder storms in the middle of the North Sea...  from off Hull across to Holland and Germany.... hence the ‘strange’ feel to the air.   In fact the whole of Europe has had a seriously thundery night by the look of the map.  It's cuppa No2 time.

08.00    I went for the paper (forgot it) in the car and ended up at the harbour;  I didn’t linger there very long when it started to rain:  I went into the car and back to Ivy .... I hope to get out on the bike later.    The thunder storms in the North Sea are petering out, but are moving closer to the UK as they do so... almost off Newcastle now.  However they should fade away before reaching land.


12.00   The weather has deteriorated a bit and we’ve now got the ‘light rain/drizzle’ that was forecast.   I gave up working and went to ‘The Store (Ainster) to do some shopping.   I don’t enjoy going to The Store.....there’s more  shops to choose from in Leven;  and Alice is just up the road in Methil.   I’ll have a lite bite lunch then see how the weather is;  it should begin to brighten up by 14 29.   I will go out to The Hutte and draw in the afternoon and out on the bike in the evening.   I’m optimistic and expect ‘sunny spells’ later.

20.00    It is a lovely evening and I did go out....and had a run up to Shell Bay Caravan

Campion

Park entrance and back.   The countryside is looking at its best just now;  40 shades of green right enough.   This is the beginning of a settled spell of good weather.... with Westerly winds so I should be out on the bike more.

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
