Change of wind direction from ESE to WSW .... and it's colder ....

26th October 2016 (Wednesday) ....   09.00     Hmmmm ... it’s breezy (WSW), and mostly overcast;   however there is the occasional blue patch in the general greyness, so it should brighten up later.     Although I have been creepin’ aboot
Sunshine on Methil
outside in the garden, I haven’t been down to the beach so far this morning, but that will be remedied after I ‘update’ the Hutte:  and after I have another cuppa.    Oh that reminds me.... my Victoria Sponge looks more like two giant Digestive biscuits with jam and cream between them:  it, (the VS), is kind of ‘skinny’.... but really tasty.    I overdid the baking by 10 minutes.   I wouldn’t say it was ‘burnt’ ... more a darker shade of brown than it should have been.
21.00     With the wind being F4 from the WNW it was cold out walking this morning.    I only did the ‘Chapel Green Circuit’ which takes me three quarters of an hour floundering around the way I do;   I can do it in quarter of an hour.   It was fine coming home, with the wind on my back, but it was really cold on the way out.    Even though it was a grey, and cold, a good number of people  were on the beach, enjoying our lovely Elie and Earlsferry air.

My ... oops 'our' beach this morning.
The Colinsburgh ‘Lite Lunch’ was really enjoyable, as it always is.    Lexie phoned asking for a lift,  she had missed the bus because of the new timetable.   The bus company (Stagecoach) keeps doing that, changing the times, but the route itself never seems to change:  they must have faster buses!    The last ‘95’ I was on a few weeks ago was a new bus:   they must come with built in rattling.

I’m wondering about this new runway at Heathrow, which will allow them (the ‘powers that be’) to vastly increase the number of planes using Heathrow.    The thing that I’m wondering about is that the air space above Heathrow will still be the same ‘size’,... all they’re going to do is bring more aircraft into what is already one of the

busiest areas of air space on the planet.   I know it’s not as simple as that, and that the Air Traffic control people are ‘in charge’ .... of computers.     They can’t afford to have a computer ‘glitch’. 
I can hardly believe ‘me’ .... I missed a Coffee Morning at Pittenweem, organised by Elizabeth, (former Craw’s Nest) in aid of PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy), and one of which I have been at before, and really enjoyed.    Oh well .... the next time!

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
