Overcast with drizzle ....

4th May 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .... It's a peaceful kind of morrrrrrrrrring;  low cloud has



drifted in from the North Sea overnight with drizzle, but there's only a light breeze (ENE) so its wet.... but not cold.   All the Fife Weather cams are showing low cloud and dampness at present, but the light rain/drizzle should stop by the middle of the day.   Sunny spells aren't mentioned in the forecast, but we might get lucky be the end of the afternoon....pollen levels will be low!    I'll have a mix of writing/ research and watching the snooker World Championship, from the Crucible, Sheffield.  Busy day ahead.

17.00    The sky appears to be brightening up now, but most of the day it has been overcast..... and dry.  I took advantage of the drizzle moving away and had a walk down to, and along the bents.   The villages see to be busy, with more people walking on the beach than I expected;  it wasn't the bonniest of days, but at least it wasn't windy ad cold.  It was actually a good day for the camera;  atmospheric in a misty kind of way.   I left the beach and went up Siward Lane to Williamsburgh, into Rotten Row and onto the golf course at the Thistle Clubhouse.


I spotted three golfers leaving the second green and planned to catch them teeing off and coming down the third.    Which is 'iggzactly' what I did!   What I didn't see until I got back home to download the photographs was that Brian (my brother) was one of the golfers!  When I'm looking through the viewfinder I don't see who is in the picture; I wait for folk  to wander to where I want them to be.

19.30   The brighter weather never arrived.... not as sunny spells anyway.  Tomorrow should be brighter after midday;  the morning could be cloudy with light rain.

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
