Misty ....

6th September 2024 (Friday)     08.30 ....At the moment we have a misty morning, but the

Colinsburgh Kirk.

forecast for KY9 is "sunny with a moderate NE breeze (F3 -4)".    The Fife Weather cams are showing heavy mist/fog;  hopefully the sun will break through sooner rather than later!    In spite of the wind chill factor..... the sun is hot at this time of year and we should have a 'sunny and warm' day.   I'm a  'happy boy'.

20.00    My word..... I have had a busy day.    The Tour of Britain Cycle Race is on TV as is the Paralympics;  between biking, playing tennis and swimming I am well tired tonight!    And the Paralympics is still on.   In between all that I did some 'ousework;  sort of tidied up the 'man cave' .... while watching the TV.   I went for the paper in the morning   and I have yet to open it.   I suppose it  could be my bedtime reading.    Ho it won't!   Kirsty dropped a Donna Leon book through the door sometime today;  that will be my bedtime reading.    I'll read today's Courier tomorrow!

With me being so busy I didn't go out with the camera so I'll fire up the 'Alberto Archive' to find a couple of  photos for today.   When I go into the archive I tend 'wander' over the places I've been;  it's very relaxing.   And I have thousands of photographs to keep me from being bored or the next 20 years or so!. And I'll take some new ones tomorrow.

Sunrise time.

22.30    The penultimate Stage of The Tour of Britain is on tomorrow.... and there will be more Paralympics;  another busy day for Alberto methinks.    The weather forecast is reasonable;  fog in the morning with the sun breaking through later in the afternoon.

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

Nice morning ....

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

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
