Overcast sky ....

11th March 2024 (Monday)     08.00 .... We have an overcast sky this morning, with a light wind

Ferry Road late this afternoon.

off the North Sea and not warm.   I'm hoping for 'sunny spells' or at least a brighter sky in the afternoon, but at the moment it looks more like we could have 'drizzle spells'.   I'm looking forward to visiting Alice.... we might even do a wee bit shopping.   It's breakfast time. 

19.38  (That was a good year)    Once again the weather has been disappointing but I enjoyed my day;  Alice does 'happy' even on grey days.   And made Eton Mess for sweet!   Yes I've had a good day.   On my way to Methil I went via Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh and, when passing the Balchrystie junction,  noticed that that section of the road was 'Open' .... no cones etc.  I decided that I'd go that way on my way home.   And I did.   I had expected to come across some signs of work being done but, as far as I could see, nothing had been done to the stretch of road between Kinneuchar Station junction and Balchrystie.   But the trees on the West side of the Elie road were getting the 'chop' today;  and the work units were being remove from the roadside at the Kinneuchar junction..   Stewart had mentioned a couple of months ago that the trees were going to get the 'chop', so I biked up the Elie road a week or so ago and took a batch of of photographs for the Archive.   When the weather improves (and it will) I'll bike the road to get the 'after' photographs.

Tomorrow is going to be another 'grey' day, so I won't be out on the bike;  there's a chance of 'light rain'  so it will be cold and damp.  A few sunny spells would be welcome!

Elie shops - 16/02/2003.

22.45   I don't have a 'plan' for tomorrow;  but with the weather forecast being much the same as today's I'll most likely be on the computer.   The weather is supposed to star to get warmer from tomorrow so there's a chance I might get out on the bike by the end of the week.    I think the big job for tomorrow will be steeping my feet and  prunin' my 'tae nails';  that's always a challenging job.  It's also quite fascinating seeing how far the clippings go. I now have a 'plan' for tomorrow!   Cut my tae nails and 'oover up the clippin's!   It's little things that make life interesting.

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
