Rain ... sunny later


7th October 2017 (Monday)     08.00 .... It was braw on the beach this
About five minutes before it began to rain.
morning;  loads of fresh air.... and it wasn’t cold.    Well it was cold, but not a sharp wintry cold and I had the beach to myself as far as I could see.   Having said that, with the sky being heavily overcast it was dark and I couldn’t see very far.   I took a couple of photographs then it began to rain.  
19.00    ‘The Boy’ is feeling quietly contented after a busy and fruitful day.  (I bought a lot of fruit in Sainsbury’s!).   I didn’t get out on the bike, even though the sun did break though in the afternoon;  I was visiting Jim at the time.   It was still sunny when I got back to ‘The Royal Burgh’.... then I remembered that this afternoon we had to get our ‘Flu Jab’ at the surgery.   By the time I got there the Surgery was quiet.... it was a case of;  ‘in’ get the card... then the jab..... say ‘Hello’ to Isobel ... pick a sweetie out of the tin that Isobel was holding... then ‘out’.   I spent mair time outside talking to Alan.

The Ferry toon clock tower from Elie harbour.

Jim was in a good mood again this afternoon but I forgot to buy goodies today.   Must remember to do that ... I was going to say tomorrow, but I usually feel sleepy the day after the flu jab so it will be Wednesday when I next visit Jim.    Kim (Adamson) was in visiting her Mum (Sheena).... I haven’t seen Kim for yonks, in fact I didn’t recognise who she was until she introduced herself.   I knew she was someone I ought to know but I couldn’t put a name to her face. 

When I found Jim he fancied a cuppa so I made one but he didn’t drink it.... it did look ‘peely wally’ right enough;  I wouldn’t have drunk it either.  
Once again I spent most of the morrrrrrning on the computer;  not studying rabbits:  I managed to stick to the subject I am ‘studying’.

I couldn’t believe it:   when I was browsing my way round Sainsbury’s I came across
Elie Harbour from Wadehaven Car Park.
‘Coffee Bags’.   I thought "that’s the answer" so I bought a box:  it was a big box but, unlike the Tea Bag boxes that hold 200 tea bags, this only had 18 ‘coffee bags’ in it.   Anyway I’ve tried it and it isnae bad.... it isnae particularly good either... sort of tastes like my own ‘Finest Blend’.    Ye Gods.... don’t tell me ‘they’ (the coffee manufacturers) have appropriated my ‘Finest Blend’.   Wonders will never cease.    Suddenly I feel important!

If it wisnae for the gale of wind we’re going to get tomorrow it would be a bonnie day:  “strong winds and sunny intervals” being the forecast.

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
