Bright, breezy ... and cold


29th March 2019 (Friday)    08.30 ..... The forecasters were right about it
Earlsferry High Street (East end).
turning colder .... it has.    We have a bonnie morning in the East Neuk, but there’s a cold wind that has a wintry feel to it.... add to that the wind chill factor and ...yes .... it’s cauld.     It’s a morning for walking in woods I’m thinkin’.... well sheltered from the wind.    So far I’ve been as far as the front gate;   putting out the blue and broon buckets.   

 20.30    I had a migraine this morning;  the first one for a couple of months..... most likely brought on by the change in the weather.    It has been a nice enough day .... and the villages are busy with visitors tonight.    I went up to Harbour House... and to buy a paper in the morning.... then did the ironing, before having a ‘lite bite’ lunch and going up to the Hutte to have ‘50’.
Earlsferry High Street - bit of.

Leven Beach, the care home that Jim is in, is a quality place with plenty of Staff all over the place;  and sitting rooms/lounges.    Jim was in fine form, with ladies sitting in the seats either side of him.    We had a blether,;  Jim conversed more or less as per normal today.    When I was leaving he said “is that you away now?” .... I replied “Yes”... to which he replied .... “I’ll come with you!”   Jim misses the Royal Burgh.    Being in Leven I thought I’d better do a shopping, so I went to Sainsbury’s.

The weather forecast for tomorrow isn’t bad;   it could be grey and damp to begin with, but the sun should breakthrough to give us a bonnie, if cool, day.    It could be a gardening day for me.... once the sun gets going.    That won't be before I've been to Harbour House for my morning caffeine fix.

Our ‘News’ continues to be dominated by the farce that they’re calling Brexit
Earlsferry beach.
continues to flounder along.... ‘The Deal’ (well part of it), suffering another defeat during today’s floundering.     

I suppose I should go to bed early tonight.... I do have the headache, and general couple of degrees under feeling that migraines leave.   A  cuppa and a couple of pills should have me sleepin’ like a baby;   and loupin around like a spring lamb in the morning.

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
