Overcast, but not windy ....

18th October 2017 (Wednesday) .....   as per weather forecast, the wind is from the East, and it’s overcast, with the cloud bank stretching way out beyond the
Dour morning ... and cold.
horizon .... so, no visible sun rise.... a dour looking morning.     However I met Monica out with ‘Pepper’;   while Monica and I chatted, Pepper tore about after her ball;  the ball that Monica kept firing out of a ‘Chuckit’ ball launcher;  most dog walkers use the ball launcher, it’s an excellent way to exercise a dog.     Monica and I?... we exercised our tongues.

I’ve had breakfast, so, after a cuppa, I’ll go and get organised for Kirkcaldy.
20.00     ‘The Boy’ has had a hectic day.    I decided I’d take the car all the way to the Hospital because my appointment time was well before visiting time.    I arrived there with lots of time to spare, and found there were loads of empty parking spaces.    I went
That's ma boy ... sunhat and cauld hands!
to the WRVS Cafe and had a bowl of soup, a cuppa and a goodie, before my appointment.     The outcome of the appointment is;  there’s nothing needs to be ‘done, apart  going back onto the routine  six monthly, PSA check .... at,... St Andrews.

On the way out of Kirkcaldy I went to ASDA’s and had a browse/ mini shopping;  that place is massive, and the prices are lower than Sainsbury’s:  but .... I didn’t see a Cafe!
The sky did brighten up now and again .... and I even saw some ‘bloo’ holes in the cloudbank;   and ... the sun would be shining through said holes .... but not on ‘yours truly’.     Fromm Kirkcaldy I hopped to Sainsbury’s Cafe in Leven ... where I had  a very welcome cuppa. 
  
We have the  ‘Drop in Cafe’ to look forward to tomorrow afternoon.    With our weather  forecast to be much the same as today’s was... overcast with occasional brighter spells, and rain later in the evening,  the ‘Cafe’ will be the brightest spell over
Peacock Butterfly.
the whole day.

I’m feeling tired tonight .... I haven’t had ‘50’ today so I expect I should sleep well... and that I won't be 'up' at the crack o' dawn!

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

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
