Overcast and breezy ...


26th August 2019 (Monday)     07.00   ..... Ohhhh .... it’s overcast and
The sun breaking through.
breezy;  not ‘iggzactly’ what I was expecting, but at least it’s dry .... and warm:    the forecast is for us to have ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’.    I’ll leave the biking until later .... once the sky breaks up;  I'm feeling quite frisky this morning. 

 08.00     The early morning weather is slightly disappointing and especially noticeable after the brilliant day yesterday.   I haven’t been anywhere but have done some housework and had breakfast.... now I’m going to have another cuppa and concoct a ‘plan’ for this afternoon.  
  09.30    I ended up wandering down to the beach to see the sun breaking through the clouds... by the time I came off the beach it had,....  and it was warm and sunny.   It’s going to be another hot day again, though wind is friskier so it might not be ‘mauchless’ hot.  This Bank Holiday has been blessed with bonnie weather.  I’ll pop

along to Elie (in the car) for a paper... and morrrrrrning coffee in Harbour House.


13.01    I’ve just had news from my Top Secret roving reporter that Joyce (my Top Secret roving reporters’ adoring w.... oops .... I am nearly a silly boy) is playing Kirsteen in the Final of the Ladies Bowl Championship (Elie) this week .... in fact it could be this afternoon.... so “enjoy the Final girls”!    I'm feeling lavish with X's, so XXXX's to the Finalists... and mair XXXX's to the Winner and the Runner Up.


14.00   My word .... I’ve had to give up working in the garden.... and sitting in The Hutte;   the temperature is at 25c, and that’s with a ‘cooling’ breeze.   I won’t be going out on the bike this afternoon .... but I might go up to Chapel Green in the evening to have coffee with ‘The Boss’.   Right now I am in ‘rest mode’ .... inside Ivy with a glass

of water.
20.00    Another bonnie day is ending with a bonnie and balmy evening.    I biked up to Chapel Green and spent a lazy half hour reminiscing mostly.... just letting my mind drift.

Tomorrow I must organise a haircut;  I want to see my lugs again.    And it might help with my hearing.  The weather is going to be slightly cooler in Scotland.... but not much, so a good day for getting a haircut.

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

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
