Clearing sky ....

6th April 2024 (Saturday)     08.00.... Although the sky is mostly overcast the overnight rain has


moved away, and the sky is breaking up from the South;  "strong winds sunny intervals... with the chance of showers" being the weather forecast for KY9.    There's a brisk wind (SE) just now .... but it's not a cold wind and will mop up some of the rain we've had recently.   I might make it to the beach....  when the sunny intervals arrive.  The wind is going to freshen ... up to F6 - 7 in the afternoon.

10.00    I thought it was going to be really warm day today but, so far, it's cold exposed to the wind.   I'm going to have morning coffee then contemplate having a short wander to either the beach or golf course;  there will be loads o' fresh air on both.   When I think about it, the 'sunny intervals' have yet to arrive so I might leave the walk until after lunch! 

15.00  The sunny intervals have been few and far between so far .... but I eventually had a short walk, round Williamsburgh then up to the golf course; where I met Marcia and her granddaughter, who were going to the Driving Range.   The Golf Course was fairly busy on what is a bonnie enough day but breezy.   

Rotten Row - Williamsburgh.

22.00    The day ended long sunny spells....and it was warm, but the wind freshened and increased the win chill.  That said it has been a bonnie enough day.... but we really need a spell of decent settled war and dry Spring weather.   There has been a lot of rain this winter and the fields are beginning to go back to marshland.   Well maybe not quite, but there's a lot of water around.

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

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

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
