Calm morning ....



31st October 2019 (Thursday)     07.30 ....  Wellll;   I got ‘up’ at my
Pitching on to the 17th green.
normal time to find that we have a calm morning .... I might get the bike out later:  that said I’m no’ iggzactly feeling frightfully frisky.... but friskier than I was yesterday.   This could be another bumble around quietly day I’m thinkin’.   I haven’t been anywhere further that the gate but we do have a nice start to the day.   Tomorrow and Saturday are going to be wet and not biking days.... so I’ll have to get the bike out sometime today.   

  12.00     The desire to eat is on me today so I must be on the mend.   I haven’t been anywhere but I have organised dinner;  sausages, mash and vegetables.  So far today I have done some work on the computer, had a quick look at the ‘News’ on the tele, and contemplated getting the bike out for a quick turn round ‘The Ferry’    I might do that after a lite bite lunch.....nothing much for lunch, because I am really looking forward to dinner.   I have a suspicion that dinner might be early tonight.

15.00   With it being a ‘nae bad’ afternoon I went out on the bike;  the intention being to have a turn round The Ferry, but I extended it to the whole of the Grand Tour:   I have been feeling friskier as the day wore on, and I did need the exercise, as did the bike.  I saw a few strangers wandering around, but the villages looked quieter than they have been of late..... it must be coming up to the end of the school holidays.   Must ‘go’... “ever so slight flap on”... I forgot to make myself a cuppa when I came in.
19.00     Having been a more active boy today I am also a tired one.   That reminds me I need to go to the Charity shop and get a few bedtime books;  I finished ‘1984’ last night, so I need to find one for tonight.
The sausages and mash I had for dinner was very tasty.... and I was starving’ having not eaten properly for a couple of days.   Depending on how I feel I might visit Jim tomorrow.... after another early night in bed I be feeling mair normal again.   I’ll do
Autumnal looking Kinneuchar.
some computer stuff, Skype ‘M’, do another bit work then orf to bed.   That said I have still to find a book to read.

The sky was changing when I was out not long ago... different kind of clouds scuttling over so I guess the rain is moving our way.    I don’t think the rain is going to be overly heavy tomorrow;  Saturday is supposed to have heavy rain.

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

 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
