Interesting sky.....

2nd March 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .... After overnight rain the sky is beginning to break up: we

Damp morning at Elie and Earlsferry.

could have a few bright, or even  sunny, spells by mid morning.  Unfortunately the forecast for today is (nae stupid pause) 'light rain with a moderate breeze (E)'.... with the rain returning later in the afternoon.    I've been out to feed 'Blob' and can tell you that, although not raining, it is cauld and damp....not a pleasant morning; but we have an interesting sky!  

11.30    The paper(s) have been uplifted and I had a quick trip to the harbour;  it was raining at that time so I only got a few 'wet look' photos.  However the sky has cleared and I'm thinking of having a wander to the beach after I have a cuppa.   Must 'go... 'slight flap on';  got a boiling kettle to attend to.

16.00    After the cuppa (mentioned above) I wandered down to the dunes (I don't think I could access the beach because of the drop after last months storms) and enjoyed  sitting on one of the seats, watching folk wandering along the beach with their dogs.   Like me, a lot of people had taken the


chance to enjoy the sunshine after the rain; it was a very calming sitting in the warm Spring sun.  I began to think 'Spring cleaning' .... but promptly put that idea on the shelf, and took a few photos of folk on the beach... before wandering back to Ivy to put on the kettle and read the papers.  I have had a lazy kind of  day.

20.30   I've just been out at the bucket and discovered it was raining.   Since then I've looked at the weather forecast and we're to have some overnight rain but it is going to clear away by morning to give us a Sunday of 'sunny intervals with a light breeze'.... and no mention of 'precipitation!   Frost is mentioned for the south of England.  I'm fed up of wintry weather and looking forward to seeing the new buds bursting open, and the fresh greens of Spring!

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
