Damp = bad hair day


16th July 2018 (Monday) .... 08.30    Oh dear .... we have a ‘wall to wall’
Lovely mellow kind of evening;  very enjoyable walk. 
grey sky and light rain this morning;   just when I was becoming used to the summer weather.    However, the rain is forecast to clear away by midday(ish),   giving us sunny spells in the afternoon, but not as hot as it has been for the past few days.    As things are just now, it’s a nice morning for sorting out my Cornwall photographs. 
 

20.30     We did end up with a lovely afternoon and evening;  in fact the beach this evening was really serene.   I enjoyed a slow walk (my knee is playing up badly just now) along to Glover’s Wynd and back via the bents.    I was talking to a visitor whose two ‘doodle’ dogs were having a great time on the beach:  and they hadn’t seen a beach until they arrived
Lovely evening.
yesterday.   Yesterday they didn’t know what to do with the wavelets flopping onto the beach;  this evening they were in the water.    They are definitely enjoying their holiday!

I sorted out the St Ives photo this morning, then took the car along to the ‘Paper Shop’.... and morning coffee with ‘The Troops’ in Harbour House;  then drove back to ‘The Royal Burgh’ via Kinneuchar, Arncroach and Colinsburgh.
After the success of the football World Cup in Russia, I suppose we can look forward to the politicians, and media, reverting to negative propaganda re Russia once again.   All the supporters, of all nationalities, that I saw being interviewed on the television thought Russia exciting and the Russians friendly and welcoming.   I have no doubt there are things we disapprove of in Russia, but ... the best place to criticise is in front
The Ferry beach.
of a mirror.   Moan over ... I’m fed up of politicians.   That reminds me ... I must brush my hair before I go out tomorrow!

Tomorrow’s weather is going to me more or less a repeat of today’s, minus the rain.   I don’t have a ‘plan’ as yet, but I can’t go out until after 11.00 as I’m expecting a phone call then.   Actually I might get the bike out and circumnavigate the villages before breakfast, and, before the roads get busy.   I’ll then sort out the Penzance photographs.

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
