Misty ....

18th  May 2024 (Saturday)    08.45 .... It was foggy when I looked out at 05.30  so I cancelled the

'plan' to go out early, and went back to bed.   The  mist is still with us, but starting to lift, and  we should have a lovely, 'sunny and warm', day soon..... there's a light breeze (E) so there will be wind chill out in the open.   I'll go out after another cuppa;  this is going to be a play/rest day.

13.15   My word... we have an absolutely gorgeous day at Elie and Earlsferry!   The mist was still fairly thick when I went out on the bike, and I got a set of local misty photographs: the harbour was busy... and will be most of the day I imagine:  in fact it could end up one of those tricky days of getting down to, and out from, the harbour.    The beach was also busy and will be really busy in the afternoon;  high tide was at midday so we have an expanding beach for the afternoon.


16.30    The mist rolling in, from the North Sea, has got rid of 'wall to wall' blue sky that we were enjoying;  however, it has been a bonnie day most of the time, and I'm sure the beach would have been busy.   I've been sitting in The Hutte reading a book that was 'delivered' when I was out this morning.   I did mention that this was to be a 'rest and play' day.   Oh ....I did some work;  peeled tautties for a batch o' 'Cottage Pies' that I'm planning on making.





21.00    It's misty and much colder now;  and it will be misty (and cold) tomorrow morning.   It's going to be cloudier tomorrow with a light Easterly wind so maybe not such a good day for the beach;  until the afternoon.   I don't think I'll be going out on the bike early!   
With new roadworks starting in Upper Largo on Monday;  through traffic will be controlled by
temporary traffic lights (presumably 3 - way) so there will hold ups at busy times.   There's no reasonable 'alternative'  route so we'll just have to live with it.

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
