Wet ....


13th December 2019 (Friday)     09.00 .... there’s been a lot of rain overnight and it’s still raining, but not too heavily and it is forecast to be brighter, and drier, up by lunch time.   I have a ‘mini flap on’ but have it ‘covered’;  and ‘the boy’ is looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse.


19.30   As predicted we ended up with a lovely afternoon:  but I notice that the air is ‘nippy’ tonight;   I don’t think frost is forecast but it won’t be much above freezing.
Once again I have been a busy boy and will be glad to crawl into my burrow at the end of the day.    I went to Arncroach and caught up with Brian’s news;  there’s about as much happening up at Arncroach as there is in the Royal Burgh.... everywhere is quiet just now on the run up to Christmas and New Year.

I still have a few Chrissy cards to deliver;  and  I must visit Jim tomorrow as I am taking the car up to Brian’s on Sunday.   There’s tea/coffee and mince pies at the kirk service on Sunday and I had intended going to that but I might not have time.    Not that I would be going to the kirk just because they will be serving mince pies;  though it does kinda look like that.

Tomorrow I must do the last of the Christmas stuff .... with time out for ‘morning coffee’ of course.   And I  must, absolutely must, remember to pick up my prescription.   Getting organised for travelling used to be a dawdle but it’s becoming harder every year.... though sending the suitcase on beforehand will take a lot of the strain off travelling.   I never enjoy travelling on my own.... though I usually do end up chatting to my neighbours.   This time I am going to print off and check stuff that I’ve been writing on the computer;  it seems that’s what most folk do when travelling.

‘KY9’s weather forecast for tomorrow is “light cloud and a fresh breeze”... and it should feel cool.   I had hoped to get the bike out but I will leave that until Monday when I will be ‘carless’.    If the weather is Okay.

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
