Much dampness ......

10th June 2017 (Saturday) .... 08.00    There’s a light rain, ...and much wetness this morning, not a bonnie start to Saturday .... but, being positive, there isn’t

any dust in the air.   The rain should clear away by midday to leave us with showers.... and spells of sunshine.    At least it’s sunny and warm in London ..... after the General Election calamity, Mrs May needs ‘bright, sunny and warm’.   
22.30    The late afternoon and evening has once again been the best part of the day:  the rain did move away after lunch, but the sun didn’t break through until about 15.00:  I had a washing on the line the sun was very welcome.

I biked along to the ‘shops’, after the rain stopped, for a paper and some ‘tautties’.... I also bought Lemsip at the Chemist.    I cannot shake off this ‘bug’ at all.    One day I feel better the next I take a step backward:  however the general trend is ‘slow improvement’.... but the cough is annoying.    Tonight I’ll have a hot bath, and a ‘Janice Toddie’ before bedtime, .   The ‘plan’ was to go to the Kirk tomorrow, it’s Communion at Kinneuchar, but that now depends on how I feel.    I’ll be glad to get rid of this ‘bug’.
 
The villages from Chapel Ness.
With the evening being so bonnie I went for a walk along the beach and out to the 11th green then home via Sea Tangle road and the Ferry High street.  I had to take it easy because my ‘tubes’ are stuffed, but I really enjoyed being out in, what was, warm evening sunshine.   It really is a lovely evening.    The villages are busy;  I like to see folk enjoying themselves on ‘my’ beach!     I met a lady walking her dog;   and she was one happy, friendly dog, and liked having her lugs scratched ... even dogs enjoy the ‘Elie and Royal Burgh’ air!    The lady was friendly too but I didn’t scratch her lugs!
I saw in the local Community Council minutes that “a member of the public” had complained about the Saltire flag being flown.    This is sad:  we do live in Scotland and there is nothing wrong with flying the Scottish Flag;  indeed we should be proud to do so.    When I’m down in England (Sussex) I see the cross of St George (the English flag) being flown all over the place, including cities.       The Union Flag is the flag of

the United Kingdom .... the individual countries of the United Kingdom, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales  have their individual flags and are proud of them!   I’ll be flying the Maori flag tomorrow!     If it isn't raining!

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

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

Warm and damp ....

4th October 2023 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... there’s been light rain overnight and the forecast is ‘strong winds and rain’, but it’s not raining at the moment.... and it’s warm.   I think I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) before rain arrives.... the wind freshens.  Slight ‘flap on’. 09.30 .... Go out before the wind freshened?.... it was already F6 (at the Breakwater) when I was out.   Guess who didn’t go down to the harbour!   That said even at the Breakwater the wind was warm.   I didn’t stop at the Breakwater, in fact I couldn’t stop.... the wind blew me half way along South Street and I was up on The Terrace in ‘nae time’.     I managed to stop, at my usual place, and take a few photos before heading for the shelter of the High Street... and the ‘paper shop’.    The streets were quiet and I thought about going up to Chapel Green but decided give CG a miss today.....   and have drawing day. 22.45    My computer was  hacked this morning and I am going to use the wee laptop until Ia
