Bright and breezy ....


20th September 2018 (Thursday)    09.30 .... it’s windy, but only F5 – 6,
Elie.
with a few clouds scuttling over from the West;  it feels cool,.... especially down at the harbour.    I’ve been out in the car ....  up to Kinneuchar and home by Balbuthie Loan and the harbour (Elie).   
I’m feeling restless this morning;  sort undecided as to what I am going to do.    I have a washing to hang out .... then I’ll go for the papers and morning coffee.


20.00   It’s been another breezy day, but the wind had moderated... and it is now overcast, with a few spits and spots of rain.    I’ve had a fairly productive day, having done some paper work that has been, like an ironing, waiting to be done.    I also did  a wee washing which dried in ‘nae time’.    That’s an ironing waiting to be done;  like the paper work was.

The new printer was delivered this afternoon so I’d better read the ‘rools’ re plumbing that into the computer.   That’s something I can do tomorrow.   The ‘rools’ I’ll read tonight.   I’m also waiting for spare ink to be delivered.... that is down to be delivered on Saturday.     Having said that so was the printer, but I checked my e-mails this morning (something I rarely do) and found that it was going to be delivered between 16.30 and 17.30.  today.   And it was... at 17.00.

I bought a liquidizer the other week and this afternoon I thought I’d make myself a smoothie.    I peeled and chopped apricots, banana and a Kiwi fruit, hit the mix with the thing.    The result was a tasty, albeit thick and lumpy, drink.    Perhaps I should have added a small glass of water.     It’s certainly is a good way to take in ‘five a day’.    I wonder how an ‘ingin’ would do as a drink?  I imagine it would be healthy .... but

not very tasty.

I don’t have anything planned for tomorrow;  the weather forecast is ‘good’;   sunny spells and showers.... and, thankfully, not as windy as it has been.    I might go up to Balcarres.... my free time depends on how long it takes to install the printer.   The exercise bike needs to be set up too;   jings I’m beginning to feel tired... and that’s just thinking about tomorrow.    I’ll have an early night in bed.

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

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
