Cool breeze from the East ....


26th June 2019 (Wednesday)     07.30..... the sky is heavily overcast, and,
Overcast, quiet kind of morning.
combined with a breeze from the east, the air feels unseasonably cool:   it should turn warmer once the sun begins to burn back the cloud.    Alas, there will be wind chill, which will take a few degrees off the temperature, near the coast;  it will be cosy inland.      I haven’t been out yet:  I intend timing my circumnavigation of the villages to be at ‘arbour ‘ouse for morning coffee;  hoping that the sun will be breaking through by then.


11.30    Wellll .... the sun has yet to burn back the cloud;  it’s  still overcast, and chilly in the breeze, so I took the car to the harbour and for morning coffee.    The villages are busy .... especially Ferry Road.   Funnily enough I’m feeling sluggish this morning;   I watched Foyle’s War last night and that ended at midnight.    That is a late night for me.... and I still wake up at 05.00.     Although I didn’t get ‘up’ until 06.00, I have a feeling that I might need to have ‘50’ after lunch.    I’d kind of thought of visiting Jim but I’ll do that when I go for the haircut.
17.00     My word ..... this heat is fair taking the frisky oot o’  me;   it’s been 22c in the garden.    This not good for the older folks:  I am just so glad that I am not old.    It is even cosier in France and Spain.... and they are used to cosy weather.    From all that you will have jaloused that the sun has burnt off the cloud layer.

I did go to Leven after the ‘Lite Bite’ lunch:   oh, I must tell you ....  the soup and sweet was out of this world.... as was the company;  a really pleasant hour.     I don’t need to make food tonight..... a light snack will do.


After doing a wee shopping I visited Jim.    Sandy (Jim and Myra’s son) was over from Edinburgh, but we both thought Jim slightly restless today.      He (Jim) settled down once we started talking about our National Service days;   and appeared to settle and enjoy the company.
20.00    Well it has been a lovely day .... once the sun got going.... and this warm weather is forecast to be with us for the  next few days:   so let’s enjoy it.     I will get out early tomorrow, then potter around the garden.    I must remember the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.... this is the last one before the summer break.    We have to take an item for the Food Bank (instead of putting money in the tin) my donation being a big Packet of Kellog’s Rice Crispies.

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
