Cloudy ....

30th June 2024 (Sunday)     09.30 .... It's a quiet morning.... but not very summery looking because

the sky is overcast,.... with light rain showers mentioned in the weather forecast.   Somebody was busy early this morning;  Ferry Road has been 'coned off' so that Scottish Water  can begin work tomorrow morning.   The road isn't  'Closed' but will be tomorrow morning.   I've moved to car round to St Margaret's.

20.30    The villages have been busy with holiday makers. ... and with day trippers to the beach.  I didn't go out on the bike until the roads were quieter;  which was later in the afternoon.   It was warm, with only a light breeze gently pushing fluffy clouds across the sky to make interesting photos.  The golf course was fairly busy.... and there was one golfer practicing on the Pony Feld.   We chatted before Andrew (Kinneuchar Station) started hitting balls towards the North end of the Pony Field.... and I louped onto the bike to go up to Chapel Green.   I met Ann, Barbara and Chris at the bottom of Ferry Road, so stopped to chat to them before  going up the High Street to Chapel Green.    The 'Green' was quiet, in fact I didn't see anyone up there, but did see a few folk walking along the beach.   It has been a quiet end to my afternoon.


The car is now moored up in the 'Disabled' space at the toon Hall.... and Ferry Road now ready to be 'Closed', to allow Scottish Water to work in safety.   The 'Ferry Corner' has been a busy old corner for the past few years.   What have I done today?.... the answer to that is 'not a lot'!    I manage to fall asleep in front of the tele ... even after a good night's sleep.   I'm beginning to wonder if that last 'bug' I had was in fact COVID (three weeks before I had my booster):  it's had the same effect as the first time I had it (COVID).   I was reading on the BBC page that COVID is on the rise again.   Anyway I'm feeling better ... but tired!

22.30    On Thursday past 8 of our local Golf House Club golfers played 100 holes (I think it was actually 101) round the local course, to raise money for the East Neuk First Responders... an independent charity, that responds and attends to anyone suffering life threatening emergencies, in the local area. The eight golfers, who each walked a marathon  playing their marathon round of 'gowf',
raised a over £17,000  for the First Responders.  Well done and congratulations boys!   Now I'm thinkin' of all the action shots I that I could have had.

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
