Breezy with light rain ....


18th May 2019 (Saturday) .... 09.00   It’s a ‘Coffee Morning’ morning;   (I like that bit) we have a grey and wet start to the day, and the forecast is for it to be like
Drab morning.
this for most of the day.  Unfortunately we don't have a 'CM' until next week when we have the Christian Aid coffee morning in the Kirk Hall (Elie), with girlfriends ... oops... home baking etc .... a can’t be missed event.   Today is the last day for handing in completed the Christian Aid Quiz.   This weekend the villages are quiet.... except for the branches of Janis’s Chestnut tree;  they are walloping around now and again so we have a fresh wind with the occasional spells of light rain:  the rain should fade away by evening time.
Food!
15.30     I have done some computer work but the work that I hoped to do is locked into the laptop that broke down a few days ago;  very frustrating.  It hasn’t been a totally wasted day because I sorted out some photographs.

The weather has been mixed up;  sometimes the sky brightens and you think the sun will break through, but doesn’t;   then it’s back to grey and miserable again.
I had had morning coffee in Harbour House with the ‘Troops’ which brightened up my morning, before coming back home to check my Inbox for news from whichever company is delivering the e-bike;  but no e-mails.  It was wishful thinking really;  I imagine it will be Monday before I get a delivery time.
19.00     Well .... I’ve nibbled and cuppa’d and computered my way through a grey, and
.... delicious food!
sometimes damp, day.   The sun has been trying to break through and that suggests tomorrow is going to be a better day:  having said that, the ‘sunny and dry’ weather of the past few days has made today appear ‘orrible, when it hasn’t in fact been that bad.    And I have managed to get some ‘work’ done.   I don’t have a plan of action for tomorrow;  it all depends on what the weather is like when I first look out.... and how I active feel.    In the meantime I’m going to have yet another cuppa .... might even have a biscuit, though I have been avoiding those today.

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
