Frosty ....

9th March 2023 (Thursday)   08.00.... It’s -1C just now but the sun has risen

'Sea Queen' - St Monans skiff.

(above low cloud) so it should melt the frozen snow on the car windscreen: we had a light dusting o’ snow during the night.  There’s a Yellow warning for snow and ice, active until 14.00 tomorrow that covers Fife... but most of the bad weather is south of the Border.    Oh.... I nearly forgot; warmer weather is on its way;  ‘Blob’ is in love.

20.00   The sky has been ... welll... interesting, with wintry clouds;  and we’ve had a couple of hail showers so not a bad day for the camera.    After breakfast I went to Methil to have morrrrrrning tea with Alice before we went down to ‘Home Bargains’ to get a few odds and ends.   I was looking for individual sized tinfoil containers  for the freezer  but they didn’t have them;  they had bigger sized ones but they’re not much use for some living on their own.   We went back to Alice’s and had a bowl of soup and a cuppa.    Alice’s friend, and former neighbour, Joyce came to visit so the three of us had a blether before I set off for home.... in the middle of the first heavy hail shower.   It, the hail, didn’t last long;  I drove out of it by the time I reached the Bawbee Brig roadworks.... and I didn’t get caught with the temporary traffic lights.  My least favourite temporary(?) traffic lights, the ones on Largo Road, did catch me.


Back at Ivy I had a cuppa then louped into the car and went to the bottle bank at Woodhaven then photographed the wintry clouds ... and showers passing along the ‘Sooth Side’ o’ the Firth.   I then thought ,“Alber my boy.... you might as well take in the harbour when you’re this far anyway”;  and that’s what I did.   When I arrived at the harbour I couldn’t believe my luck.... the St Monans skiff, ‘Sea Queen’, was on the water for some pre season practice... so that was well photographed:  until I the camera ran out of battery. I didn’t have a spare on me so that was the end of my adventures with the camera for today.

I’ve been putting the buckets out (Bloo and Brown) and it’s bitterly cauld;  there’s a feel


of rain or wet snow in the air.   I won’t be going out again tonight.   In fact I’m going to make the chocolate after this update and find something to watch on the tele.
