Grey start to the day ....


19th September 2019 (Thursday)      07.00 .... Hmmmm, we have a dull
Kinneuchar kirk tower.
start to the day.... a heavily overcast sky with a light westerly breeze.    Actually it’s not cold, and it is dry, so, once the sun and the light westerly gets going, we could have a ‘sunny intervals with a light breeze’ day.    Yes... that would do.
I’m having a lazy day but I may get the bike out later.... if the sun does break through;   In the meantime I’ll ‘play’ on the computer.


20.30    We had a red sunset sky tonight;  tomorrow should be a good drying day and I have a washing needing to be done.   But .... forget the washing;  when I was going through the estate I noticed that the rhododendrons are being cut back right to the edge of the loch;  there will be new views of the loch... and kirk.   Now I’m looking forward to seeing how much Stewart is going to cut back!

The renovated Kinneuchar Inn.
What have I got do tomorrow anyway?     I’ll make a ‘plan’ when having morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   Before going for ‘MC’ I’ll get the bedding out on the line.   My word I am going to be a busy boy.

My ‘playing on the computer’ was successful today;  I found out when the person that I was searching for had died (1865).   Only one more piece to clear up and I’ll have all I need.

Must ‘go’ ... slight flap on;  the spider that was spinning a web outside the window is
The Toft - Elie.
actually working inside the window.   That is about to change;  and it ain't me that's moving out!

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
