Breezy and cool ... so is the weather


23rd August 2018 (Thursday) .... 08.00    The sky is heavily overcast, in
Dysart harbour.
fact it looks like we could have some spits and spots of rain;   and it is definitely cooler:    not the bonniest of mornings, but the afternoon is to be brighter.     I’ll finish pruning the ivy in the afternoon, and fill up the 'broon' bucket with ivy cuttings.
20.30    Well the afternoon was brighter.... in between the prolonged heavy showers.    The evening is bonnie though, but there is a cool wind;  and I have been down to the beach, in fact I’m not long back from the beach.    It was busy with holiday makers out for an evening walk .... wrapped up holiday makers.
Jim and I went to Kirkcaldy in the morning;  we both wanted stuff from ‘PC World’ in the Fife Central Retail Park.    I had a good browse, and saw plenty stuff that I’d like, but eventually settled for what I’d gone along there for in the first place ..... DVD’s to back up my photographs onto.    From ‘PC World’ we went next door and had a coffee;  there’s a Costa Coffee in the ‘Next’ shop.   It’s not just adjacent to ‘PC
Dysart Harbour.
World’... the shop is called ‘Next’.    I don’t know why someone would call a chain of stores ‘Next’ but they are ‘big’ and all over the place apparently.

On the way home we went to Dysart Harbour and had stovies in the Harbour Master’s House for out lunch.... then got back to the Royal Burgh about 14.00 after a successful mission.    The sky was brighter by the time we left Dysart, but we drove into heavy showers by the time we got to Lundin Links.   The best part of the day as far as the weather goes has been the evening.

With everything being wet I didn’t get the ivy clump finished today, but the forecast is
Evening time.
better for tomorrow so I should get that job finished then.  Today has been a ‘rest day’.    I might do a washing tomorrow morning;  the weather forecast is ‘good’.   Could be a decent drying day.... but there could also be showers.

I am tired tonight, in spite of this being a ‘rest day’;   it must have been all the work I did yesterday.   That reminds me.... I’d better put out the buckets.

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
