Windy .....


10th September 2018 (Monday) ....    08.00 .... we have a brisk, F4 South
Elie harbour.
Westerly wind this morning.... I suppose it could be classified as the first of the Equinoxial gale season.    The forecast isn’t exciting, .... windy, with blustery showers throughout most of the day.    A good day for having a new toilet fitted.


11.00     The surgery appointments went as planned, though I don’t get the cortisone until 27th September.    Mike is working like Trojan on the new toilet, which is much neater looking.... with less complicated innards.     I’ll take the auld stuff to the re-cycling Depot in the afternoon.    It’s cold out in the wind .... so not a morning for this boy going to the beach.

Elie harbour.

19.00    It has been breezy, and mostly overcast, all day.... and ....it is raining now.    The new toilet has been installed, and it looks far neater than the previous one;  I’ll be able to relax again.   I get all ‘uptight’ when things go wrong, so I’m glad everything is back to normal.

In the afternoon I went to the Woodhaven re-cycling place with the cardboard packaging etc;   I’ll have to take the old toilet etc to the landfill skip at Pittenweem.    The local (Woodhaven) recycling site is limited to household rubbish.    When I was out I went down to the Harbour but I didn’t stay there long;   too windy and cold.
I had a migraine in the middle of the afternoon:   this curbed my activities somewhat.    The migraine was probably brought on by the changeable weather.     I’m usually ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ the day after a migraine.... so I’m looking for a nice day.   In fact a decent drying day wouldn’t go amiss:   the machine has a washing in
Earlsferry from Elie harbour.
it.    What is the forecast for tomorrow anyway?    Oh.... ... well .... it’s forecast to be brighter than today was.... and windy... so it might be a drying day,... though it looks like Wednesday could be an even better drying day;   with more sunny spells.
Tomorrows plan?    I’ll see what the weather is like when I get out of my ‘Royal Burrow’.

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
