Frosty morning.....


19th November 2019 (Tuesday)      08.30 .... we have a decent frost this
Lovely, frosty morrrrrrrrrrning.
morning.... -3c on the garden thermometer .... so I haven’t been further than the garden thermometer, even though we had a golden sunrise that would normally have attracted me down to the beach.    I will go to the beach after breakfast;  once I feel suitably brave enough.    There is very little wind, but there is a layer of light cloud that’s weakening the warming effect of the sun on my lugs.   It’s sort of misty.


14.30    I haven’t been out on the bike today;  it just hasn’t been warm enough for my delicate lugs.    The thin layer of cloud has managed to filter out a lot of the sun’s warmth.   I took the car up to Colinsburgh to ‘feed’ her and then fancied checking out the Largoward to Upper Largo road that has been closed for six weeks:  unsurprisingly
From the Largoward - Upper Largo road.
it is looking good with not one pothole to be found anywhere .   They might have put in a ‘viewpoint’ lay-by somewhere but I suppose that would be a hazard.    Anyway I stopped at the top of the wee country road that goes off to Newburn.


17.00    I’d been doing a fair amount on the computer this afternoon, so had a daunder to the beach around sunset time;   mostly for the exercise because the sunset happened behind a low bank of cloud.   Chrissie was out walking some kind of wee friendly dog;  I think she said it was her cousin’s from Pittenweem.    We had a wee chat before she continued on her way and I bumbled my way up to Ivy.  It was nice down there but it hasn’t been the warmest of days, though I have no doubt we will have a few colder ones before the winter is over.
19.00     Should I visit ‘Jimbo’ tomorrow?   No ... I’ll leave visiting for another couple
Sunset time.
of days until I’m free of this cough.   I’m feeling better but not yet back to being ‘frightfully frolicsome’.   That means I have ‘nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow... it will all depend on how I’m feeling, and what the weather is like.    It’s suppose to be a wee bit warmer tomorrow.... ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast for us.... much the same as today’s weather was by the look of it.

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
