Bright early morrrrrrrrrning .....

26th March 2024 (Tuesday)    08.30 .... We had a beautiful, albeit cold and short lived, start to the


morning:  then the sky clouded over and we could have spells of light rain.   I fancied going to the beach but the breathing tubes object to the cold air so I'm going to have breakfast and another cuppa.  I'll go for the paper .... and visit the harbour later in the morrrrrrrning;  we could have some interesting clouds. 

16.30   Although cold it has been a bonnie day .... I even went for the paper (forgot to pick it up but hey ho... I'll go for two papers tomorrow) and went to the harbour. The villages were busy both with visitors cars and workmen vans.   It looks like lie and Earlsferry is being rebuilt.   Apart from Ivy which is needing a coat o' paint.   I'll get that done (not personally) after the garden has been reinstated.

We've been lucky with the weather having missed out on the light rain, that I saw rattling along the 'Sooth side' when I was at the harbour. 

Elie lighthouse. 

22.30   Today's News has been dominated by the container ship that collided with the bridge in Baltimore;  it looked like it took about 30 seconds for the bridge to collapse after the initial collision;  it certainly was devastatingly fast.  The men working on the bridge didn't stand a chance;  my thoughts are with the families of the missing men.

I've had a reasonably active day but this weather, with winds from the Easterly direction, curtails my outside activities.   Rain is forecast to move in tonight.... and be with us until lunch time tomorrow, so I'll be lying low in the morning.
The Diamond Art picture of Elie lighthouse was done by Alice ....for my birthday.   The photograph doesn't do it justice as the little beads glint and make it 'live'.   I'll take photo of it on the wall tomorrow.

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
