Glorious morning ....


15th November 2018 (Thursday) .... 09.00   One of the most  endearing
07.51.
features about ‘Bonnie Scotland is ... the weather;  it changes almost as fast as I forget things.   Yesterday we had ‘wet and windy’;  today glorious sunshine and calm .    And I had the beach to myself.    It’s definitely a day for doing things.... even if it is slowly. 



20.30    It has been a day for ‘doing things’:  not that I have done very much, though I did fix the Hutte roof.     Water was leaking in through some felt nail holes.   Going up the ladder was a tricky job, luckily it was only five steps.    My knee will be sair tonight .... of that I have no doubt.

Beautiful afternoon.
The political scene in the UK continues to dominate our ‘News’;  which I have been watching, on and off all day.    There is one thing that you can say about Theresa May.    The lady has guts.   She’s been taking stick from all sides today, the worst of it from members of her own party, and she remains undaunted ... well, looks like she’s undaunted;  but she must feel slightly ‘unloved’.    The problem is that before the referendum in 2016 the public didn't get told, in detail, of all the things that would change,  after what has became known as Brexit happened.    We were going to exit the EU, everything was going to be perfect, and we were all going to be happy, .... according to UKIP etc.   Reality is of course quite different.    I don’t think the ‘powers that be’ thought the voters would vote ‘Leave’.    Now they have a mess to sort out.    Still al lot of people will make a lot of money out of this 'mess'.  

I’ve been a busy boy today (in between watching the News).    I did the paper, harbour,
Cloudy evening.
then morning coffee in Harbour House, fixed the Hutte roofing felt, then ate something.    For lunch.... food i.e.... not some random thing that flew into my mouth.
After lunch I did some more light work in the garden... pruned dead flowers etc. then went along to the ‘Drop in Cafe’, where I enjoyed a nice cuppa and a long chat, before going down to the harbour on the way home.

It has been warm today (for the time of year), and, by all accounts it’s goin g to be another warm day tomorrow... in fact more or less a repeat of today’s weather.   I’ll continue with the light ,pottering around in the garden, stuff.

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

 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
