Interesting sky ....

 27th October 2023 (Friday)    08.00 .... Although rain (of the light shower kind) is mentioned in


the weather forecast, it's not here just now, and it's not cold considering the moderate Easterly breeze;  I might go for the paper (on the bike) once my eyeballs get used tae bein' five feet from the floor.   I had a good night's sleep followed by a good old stretch before blundering into the shower.  Yep.,.... I'm nearly ready for a 'play day'.   

09.00    The sky is not as interesting as it was, with light rain blowing in the breeze;  the biking has been put off until drier, and sunny, interludes make their way to Elie and Earlsferry.... around about midday.

16.00  Biking has been put orf until the next decent spell o' weather.    I nearly went out couple o' times,  but eventually decided that it was a 'drawing day';  and I have enjoyed that.   Today's weather has been disappointing ....tomorrow might be brighter but I'm not planning on going for an adventure.  I didn't go out with the camera today, so the photographs are 'sunny days' from the archive.


20.30   I've had a good day with the pens and pencils.... but I never got out to play.   I did put the bucket out, and brought in in later, but that was the extent of my being 'out and about'.   The bucket was late in being emptied today it was almost dark by the time the 'bucket cairt' arrived.

The weather dictates if I can get excited about going out and if Sarah (weather forecaster) is right tomorrows weather is going to be of the 'low excitement' kind.   Having said that... I'm beginning to get excited with the latest drawing, so I'm not really bothered that much by the weather as far as doing stuff goes;  but it's always better to have a wander out to the front gate on a  sunny day.

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
