It's cold ....


22nd May 2018 (Tuesday) ..... 08.00    There’s a noticeable drop in
Pittenweem Recycling Depot display.
temperature, and in the strength of the ENE wind, this morning.... it feels like  a step back to winter, after the recent hot days.    This is the day that I’ve chosen to go to Leven and have my haircut:   my head is beginning to look like I’m growing my own blankets.    I’ll do a shopping when in Leven.    This weekend coming up, is a holiday weekend (Whitsun) so I’d better stock up, because the villages will be busy.
I won’t be out on the bike in this wind .... but Ivy garden is sheltered so I’ll get some more tidying up done, and take the bags of weeds along to Pittenweem re-cycling... remembering that they are closed on Wednesday.

18.30     It has been a nice enough day;  bright and sunny, most of the time, .... but, the brisk north easterly wind kept the temperature down.    It was warm out of the wind.
In the middle of the afternoon I went along to the re-cycling depot at Pittenweem with bags of weeds.  The top photo is a display that the workmen have set up with stuff that has been ‘dumped’.   The Pittenweem Depot must be one of the cleanest recycling Depots in Fife;  I hope their efforts are recognised.


22.00    Jim and Myra are back ‘in residence’ after their romantic break up in Grantown-on- Spey;   and are now sorting out their next holiday;   Cornwall at the beginning of July.    I am joining them on this holiday, an ‘organised coach tour’.    I
Gorse adds a bit of colour to Kellie Law.
saw the holiday advertised but didn’t fancy travelling on my own;  when I heard that Jim and Myra were going, I asked if it I could tag along.     This means that someone will have me as a travelling companion!

It isn’t going to be as windy tomorrow so it could be quite warm;  in fact the next couple of days could be warm in spite of the East wind.    Regrettably pollution levels are forecast to be ‘medium’ for the next couple of days.    Nae biking for ‘the boy’ I’m thinkin’.    However I have empty bags that need filling with weeds so I’ll get on with that in the afternoon.    The morning will be taken up with picking up the papers, and having coffee in Harbour House.

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
