Windy... and cold


14th September 2019 (Saturday)      08.00 .... It’s windy (but not as
Breezy....  and cool at sunrise time.
windy as it’s going to be in the afternoon) and cold;  time for the heavy duty jackets to come out.  I went to the beach to see the sunrise;  I knew it was never going to be much of a spectacle this morning because of the cloud lying just above the horizon.... but I like the early morning beach when it’s me, the birds.... and the fresh air.
17.30     My goodness I’ve been ‘rough’ today;  apart from the beach in the morning I haven’t been fit to do anything.    I think it’s a ‘weather’ thing (high pressure) because I’m feeling fine now.... having had a couple of hours in bed.    ‘M’ is happy enough to have a ‘rest day’ after the walking she did yesterday.

The Ferry beach.
Tomorrow is going to be a better day for doing things.... windy with sunny spells .... though it could be cold.    We have the seeds of a ‘plan’ for tomorrow but it depends on the weather.    Right now I’m going to browse the photos I got this morning.


19.00   ‘M’ and I decided to have a wee bit of exercise, so went to the beach via Cross Wynd:  there’s some kind of celebration going on at the bottom of Ferry Wynd..    It was windy, but not as cold as I expected it to be.... but ‘M’ found it cold compared to New Zealand, so we didn’t linger long.   It looks like it’s going to rain;  the sky is darkening from the West.
20.00    It has been a drab kind of day, and we have been lazy;  having said that I haven’t been in the mood to ‘play’ today at all.    I suppose a ‘rest day’ isn’t a bad

thing now and again.    We hope to go to the Tay Bridge then on to Tayport tomorrow depending on what we feel like in the morning.   If we do work up an appetite we’ll go to the 19th for dinner.

The day is ending much as it began.... overcast and windy, though I can hear music somewhere in the background.   My ‘plan’ is to get up early tomorrow, have a walk on the beach then reach some kind of ‘plan’ for the remainder of the day over breakfast.

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
