Hmmmm ... not a drying day


7th March 2019 (Thursday) .... 08.00     Mmmmmm ....owing to the fact
Geoff's 'baby' - the newly resurfaced car park at the harbour.
that it is raining this not a drying day;  so the washing is on ‘hold’.  And so is going to the beach.    The rain, which isn’t that heavy .... but is wet, should peter out by the afternoon.   It’s a good morning for me tidying up, .... and sorting out what I brought back from Sussex.    It could be a bonnier day, and maybe even a drying one, tomorrow:  right now it looks like the sky is brightening.    Yes .... another cuppa is called for.


20.30     A big ‘Thank You’ to Brian, who looked after Sooper Buggy when I was on holiday, and re-united me with her, first thing this morning.    Why is it my cars always seem to run better after someone else looks after them? 

 
Sunset time.
Anyway after getting the car I went back to Ivy, picked up my wallet, and went to Harbour House to catch up with the ‘troops’, made an appointment for a blood test, and finally made my way to Sainsbury’s to stock up with food.    I got back to Ivy in time to have a light lunch (I’m trying to lose some more weight) before bumbling  down to the harbour to admire the newly resurfaced car park at the harbour;  by this time it had stopped raining....  the sky was still overcast, but beginning to show promise of a bonnier evening.

I dropped in to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ to catch up with the ‘Cafe troops’ .... and enjoyed a couple of cuppas and much chat.   On leaving the cafe I bumbled home by way of Balbuthie Loan.    All seems well with ‘home’.

Tomorrow is going to be a drying day:  to put it another way I've done my holiday
Sunset over Earlsferry.
washing and it is going to be on the line from the crack of dawn.... so I need tomorrow to be a drying day.    Apart from hanging out the washing .... and going to Harbour House for MC I have no ‘plan’;  but I must finish the presentation I’m doing for the Colinsburgh Rural girls in two weeks.

I’m having another early night in bed tonight;   I had a really good night’s sleep last night and another good night should have me back to normal.

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
