Bright and breezy .....

11th October 2024 (Friday)     09.30 .... We have a bright and breezy morning, with the chance of

light rain showers.  The showers are forecast fade away to give us a cool, sunny and dry afternoon.  I feel like taking a walk to the beach but it depends on how cold the air is.  Having slept in I'm behind schedule: However I've showered and had breakfast, now I need another cuppa to get me going.

17.00    I've got my car back!    I phoned the garage this morning to see of it was done: found out that all was good, MOT and everything.  I then phoned Myra, to see if she could give me a run to the garage to pick up my car.   She could and did and I am mobile again.   I went straight  from the garage to Sainsbury's Leven to do a shopping!   Where I stocked up with food!   Even the Emergency rations were.... would you believe it.....  being rationed!   All is back to nearly normal.    With no bus service to Earlsferry now I felt 'trapped'!   Being 'trapped' in The Royal Burgh is fine;  being short of Emergency Rations and trapped isn't so good!    I bought food as well as chocolate biscuits!   I met Alice and Karen (Alice's daughter) in Sainsbury's doing their weekly shop   In the 'good old days (when Sainsbury's had a Café) we'd have gone upstairs and had morning coffee.   It feels good to be able to go out in the cat again.    The above photo is the only one I took today;  it was too cold for me to go to the harbour.

19.30  I thought the work at the Ferry Road sub-station would have been finished today but the trench is still  fenced off.   (The photograph was taken yesterday).  I suppose it adds a bit of colour to a photograph.   I'll be able to go for the paper tomorrow and, if it isn't windy and cold, I might visit the harbour.   "Light rain showers and a fresh breeze" is the forecast ... so we can expect sunshine between the showers!   With the wind being fresh it will feel cold!

22.00    Now that I have the car back I can look forward to getting back to normal.   There's still a mobility scooter to organise so that I can go round the villages with the camera again. 
Our 'bucket' routine changes this weekend.   Tomorrow it's the Grey bin (Paper etc), then on Monday we put out the Green bin.   Thereafter the collections will be on Mondays.

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

Overcast with light rain .....

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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
