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’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.
