Bright and very breezy ....


13th March 2019 (Wednesday) .... 08.00     It’s bright and very breezy.... so
Balcarres Crag.
quite cold in the wind.    I’m going to Leven to do some shopping.... and have the car windows fixed:   they won’t open.    Actually I think I’ll start using Fife Auto (St Andrews);   they  are next door to Morrison’s Cafe.    It’s along walk from Fife Auto Banbeath) to Sainsbury’s in Leven.    Exactly one mile.

  17.30     When I was bumbling along to Leven this morning I thought, “I’ll try the car windows to see if they’re still not working”;   and they opened!  I think my cars are like me;  not keen on damp weather.   The mechanic said it was probably the damp weather;  ‘damp weather?’ .... in Bonnie Scotland?   Hmmmmm .... I suppose it could be!
Being in Leven early I went to Sainsbury’s and celebrated by doing a shopping ..... including ‘emergency rations.    I was... home in time to go to Harbour House for coffee with the troops.... and to get a cough mixture at the Chemists.

This was Friendship Lunch day... lunch was well taken care of by the girls.    The Lunch is always a happy occasion, today’s especially so for me because I’d missed the last two.    Jim not being there was sad;  that said, I know that he’s in a good place, but he was missed at the boy’s table.   In fact I didn’t sit at the usual ‘Boy’s table’ because Jim wasn’t going to be there.   Growing older is easy .... adapting to the changes it brings with it can be hard.
I don’t have a plan for tomorrow;   everything depends on how quickly I get rid of this cough,    I will do some more work on the Colinsburgh presentation.... a  day of lying low, staying warm and drinking plenty liquids.    The weather forecast for our area tomorrow isn’t bad;   windy with showers.


I’ve been watching the Brexit debate, and as far as I am concerned the UK lacks in one
.... everything is where it should be, and lt's all looking good.
vital item;  a politician who could be called a Leader:  someone who stands out,.    At the moment Theresa is the nearest to being one (she is) but, .... she is repetitively boring.

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

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

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
