Hmmmm .... there's monochromatic look to the sky this morning


12th March 2019 (Tuesday) ....  08.30    The sky is... well ... mostly grey
Breakfast time!
this morning:  there is a sliver of clearness towards the Southeast, so it might all brighten up later.    There’s a Storm, going by the name of Gareth, coming in from the Atlantic...bringing with ‘him’ the gales we expect around equinox time.
I’m feeling friskier this morning... another few cuppas and an afternoon in bed again and I should be almost  with a bit of skittish added.    At this moment in time I’m going to have another cuppa, then ‘loup’ into the car to go and have some blood taken.    Slight ‘flap on’ this morning.

 11.30    Yes .... I am definitely feeling mair frolicsome today;  I’ve had blood taken, been for the paper, and even went to Barnett’s the Baker to buy a couple of goodies.    I looked for Geoff’s, and Myra’s buggies being moored up at either the Pav or the Deli
Kinneuchar this afternoon.
for morning coffee, but I drew a blank at both places.   Myra’s phone is permanently engaged so I can’t phone her.    I’m now at Ivy having my own ‘morning coffee’ after which I’ll do some work for the ‘Colinsburgh girls’.    There’s a blustery sleet shower passing over the Royal Burgh right now;   Methinks I’m unlikely to be going out again today.    I did go down to the harbour earlier.... not the warmest of places at any time .... definitely not the place to be today.
19.30     I did go out in the afternoon:   I took the car for a run, then went for a walk along the village and down onto the beach.    There was a strong wind  blowing;   Storm ‘Gareth’ starting to shift sand up the Breakwater etc.   Having said that it was fairly pleasant walking with the wind on my back.... it was a warmer wind than we had
Westward on The Ferry High Street.
in the morning.   

This evening we have another ‘meaningful’ vote re Brexit.    The MP’s voting once again for the same ‘deal’ that they first voted on three months ago.    As far as Theresa’s concerned she’ll just flounder on .... it’s “May or nay”.

Tomorrow is going to be windy with showers .... as Storm Gareth rumbles ‘his’ way eastward.

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
