Lovely, bright and breezy morning.....

3rd March 2024 (Sunday)     08.30.... It's bright and sunny with a light frost this

'Archie'. - Elie skiff.

morrrrrrrrrrning.... and it is forecast to be sunny most of the day.   Sunny, but cool in the moderate breeze;  a bonnie day for walking part of the Coastal Path.  I've been out feeding 'Blob' and there is a chilly old wind, much colder than I expected;  I might not be going far from the door .... and doubt if I'll be doing my bit of the Coastal Path today..... Chapel Green!   It might be a stay in and warm day for 'Alber'.

10.00    The birds are acting  strangely;  as if they are expecting bad weather in the next day or so.   It doesn't necessarily mean that the weather they are bothered about will reach us, but they are stocking up in case it does.   We have a bonnie 'drying day' so I washed and hung out a small washing;  it was while hanging out the washing I noticed that the birds were seriously 'on the mooch'.... including a Wren.   At the moment I'm having an early 'morrrrrrning coffee' before going for the paper.

'Sea Queen' - St Monans skiff.

15.00   When I went Elie, for the paper and my morning visit to the 'arbour, I found both EESC (Elie and Earlsferry Sailing Club) skiffs, 'Archie' and 'Sea Queen', were out on the bay.   It was a good day for rowing .... and for the camera, and I enjoyed myself.   It was breezy at the harbour but I don't notice the wind when taking photos.... so ended up with a few more for the Alber' Archive.   Since then the sky has clouded over .... and I've brought the washing in, because it looks like we could have showers.  


20.30    I was thinking of restarting the Spring cleaning tomorrow... but decided to leave it until Wednesday.  My poor muscle  needs aw the rest it can get!   Tomorrow will be a rest day.   I've enjoyed 'today';  catching the skiffs on the water was a bonus for the camera.   It has been a bonnie day and the villages were busy with folk taking advantage of that.   I haven't been doing much 'work' today but should get back on track by the middle of the week.   I finished transferring DVD's on the hard drive;  I

haven't checked the total number of photos.... but it's a lot!    I now have to start transferring (writing) photographs from other hard drives onto DVD's for backup.  Writing to DVD's takes longer but I can do other things after setting it up.   

The Paris - Nice cycling race started today, and we get the highlights at 19.00 so I've been watching that..... and the Athletics from Glasgow.   I haven't been a busy boy today.

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
