Bright and breezy ....


28th November 2019 (Thursday)     09.00 .... Oh my word;  we have a
Largo Bay.
‘bright and breezy’ morning with big patches of blues sky all over the place just now.   The wind has backed to the NNE so is feeling cooler;  the question is... do I do a washing?    The forecast for ‘KY9’ is “sunny intervals with a moderate breeze”.   It’s a bonnie morning, but it does look like we could get a shower or two.

 15.30    It has been a gorgeous day: yes it has been colder... and will be colder yet again tomorrow and Sunday but what a difference the sun makes.

Before I went for coffee (and the paper) I did do the washing;  and had the urge to get the bike out but decided against that as I didn’t want the washing to get caught in any shower that might come our way.    None did .... and the washing is ready for ironing.   
Sunset time.
I’m also plagued with this cough and didn’t want to do anything that might exacerbate it.   However I went to the harbour (in the car), then came home by way of Kinneuchar and Shell Bay for a change of scenery.

I’m not saying that this cough is bothering me much but;  my postal voting paper arrived this afternoon .... and was in the post box by 15.30.   I posted it on my way to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ but got diverted by the sunset so ended up down at the harbour.    By the time I’d finished messing about down there, and at the Toft, the ‘Cafe’ would have closed, so I ended up going home via Kinneuchar.

19.00    It has been a bonnie day and the next few days are forecast to be ‘more of the same’;  sunny days are enjoyable.... even cold ones.   I don’t have anything ‘planned’ for tomorrow:  if this cough isn’t bothersome overnight I might visit Jim.   If it is bothersome I lose sleep,  and be grumpy  next day.


It was a bonnie sunset today... one of those “red sky at night kind”.... now we can look
Sunset over Elie Bay.
forward to a bonnie day tomorrow.    Sunrise is at 08.15 so there’s no need to get ‘up’ at ‘funny time’..... that said I haven’t been in the mood for getting ‘up’ early anyway;  but I’d like to be back to that soon.

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
