Breezy ... and warmer


5th April 2019 (Friday) .... 08.00    There’s a brisk wind from the southeast,
Sunrise time.
which would be pleasantly warm .... if it wasn’t for the wind chill factor taking 3 or 4 degrees off the temperature.   I am not complaining’ ....it’s a grand wind for drying the washing that I have on the line.
I went to the beach for sunrise, which happened behind low cloud.... but the sky was bright enough;  it would be a good day for walking.   I am not going to Leven today;  in fact I won’t be going to Leven for a few days!   I might go to St Andrews...sometime  next week.

 12.00    Welll .... I’ve been for the paper and had coffee in Harbour House with Geoff, then came home via Balbuthie Loan.    We have a lovely day now, sunny and warm out of the wind.    Actually the wind isn’t that cold, in spite of the wind.... it’s a perfect drying wind.

For some strange reason I have a black eye this morning;  I’m assuming it’s a burst blood vessel on the eyelid, brought on by the eye test yesterday.   It disnae feel sore, but does feel ‘dry’.   I’ll wash it with ‘sautie’ water .... that usually fixes tired eyeballs.    I’m blaming the East wind.

 17.00    I have to make an appointment to have my BP checked next week .... until then I have to ‘take it easy’.    I can do that;  in fact in have been doing that.    We have had a lovely day ....   the washing is dry and ready to iron; actually I might do the ironing this evening.    It has been 14c in Ivy garden.... a few degrees warmer than on the beach.   I did intend going to the harbour in the afternoon but remembered that it’s ‘crane in’ tomorrow, so I’ll do the harbour tomorrow.... unless it’s raining.    Hey I’m
The 'black' eye.
beginning to feel hungry... a cuppa is called for then I’ll think of what I’m going to have for dinner. 

  20.30     I thought about going down to the beach to catch the sunset, but the sun dropped behind a bank of cloud about an hour before sunset time;   I had another cuppa instead.
The weather forecast for tomorrow isn’t good;  spells of light rain coming in from the North Sea (the East wind is going to with us for a while yet).   I have some photographs to sort out;  tomorrow looks like being the day to do that.

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
