Overcast and cool ....

 21st May 2024 (Tuesday)    11.00 .... There was an interesting sky (it even had 'bloo' bits in it)

when I went out on the bike earlier;  now it's overcast with a cold NE breeze.   Light rain is forecast.  I had a sheet on the line but brought it in and will be ironed and hung it in front of a radiator.  That's what I've had to do with sheets etc. for the last few months.   Anyway I went up to Chapel Green (bike), with plenty camera stops on the way;  I came home by a devious route so have loads of photographs to 'play with'.   I still can't do anything on FB;  (it 'thinks' the History Society is my 'Home Page':  any photographs I upload will be 'here' .... on 'The Hutte.

11.00   I've posted three photographs on the Elie and Earlsferry Photos page;  posting as 'Elie and Earlsferry History Society!
11.30    I fixed it!   I found the button  that I needed to 'Press', so all is good at The Royal Burrow!    And I posted a few photographs on the Elie and Earlsferry Photos page as "Albert Lawrie" .... alias 'me'.

16.30    The afternoon has been cloudier.... and we had some spits and spots (big ones) when I was out on the bike.   I only went 'roond The Ferry' then up to the Pony Field.   It wasn't as cold as I thought it might be.... but the rain started so I bumbled my way back home and had a mug o' coffee.   The rain didn't last.

20.30    Tomorrow is going to be a 'rest day';  the weather forecast is 'thundery showers with a moderate Northerly breeze... so it won't be overly warm.   I'm going to work on the computer... and sort out some of the photographs I've taken over the past few weeks.   I am beginning to feel 'normal me' again;  that usually means I overdo the 'work'... which is what I did I did yesterday.   Computer work is classed as a 'rest day'.

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
