Feeling productive ....


20th November 2019 (Wednesday)      09.00 .... At the moment the sky is
New roundabout work in progress.
heavily overcast but at least it’s not raining and rain isn’t mentioned in today’s weather forecast for ‘KY9’, so it looks like we’re in for another grey day with a cool (but not frosty), breeze/wind off the Southeast.    It might be a computer day for me.... though I am feeling more frolicsome –ish than I have of late. 
 

17.00    Exciting things are happening up at Elie;   we’re getting a new roundabout, and a pedestrian crossing and it’s all happening just outside Harbour House;  I nearly had to have two cups o’ coffee.... it’s a long time since we’ve had so much  entertainment.     I hope it’s one of those pedestrian crossing with a button;  I’m good with buttons.    There is a set of temporary traffic lights in operation to keep the traffic flowing smoothly:  but it seems some drivers are not all that keen on smooth;  which adds an unknown factor into the whole set up. 
Elie Bay this afternoon.    Interesting sky!
Oh I have been for the papers and morning coffee with ‘The Troops’, and after that I went to Leven to get a few things, but didn’t visit Jim:  I’ll do that on Friday.   The weather has been grey and dour all day and not at all inspiring;  there’s no doubt the place to be is in ‘arbour ‘ouse watching the ‘goings on’ at the bottom of Park Place.   I did go for a wee tour in the car after lunch but it wasn’t really pleasant being out though at least it got me some exercise and fresh air.
19.00    Tomorrow?    Hmmm ... well we have the ongoing roadworks outside ‘arbour
Earlsferry from Chapel Green.
‘ouse;  that will be a bit of light entertainment.    The weather is forecast to be a repeat of today’s, perhaps slightly warmer.... so not much to look forward too there.   It’s the wind coming from the East, and bringing in ‘stuff’ from the North Sea that’s the problem;  but then again it is November.    It looks like I will be pottering about with the computer again;  at least that is keeping the brain active.   I think I deserve a cuppa.... and I might even have a scrabble about in the ‘Emergency Rations’ tin.

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
