Cloudy but bonnie ....


24th January 2020 (Friday)       09.30 .... It’s breezy with a bit more
10 minutes before sunrise.
cloud about this morrrrrrrning, and Largo Law has a cap of cloud not normally a good sign.    I’ve been down to the harbour in the car, and it’s breezy down there: it’s Jimmy’s car it does the harbour run on automatically.   I’m thinking of washing the car;  I’d do it on the street but it’s a bit cauld for that so the car wash it will be.    I’m feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning .... might even do some work.   
Breakfast!    I haven't had food this morning;  silly boy.


14.00      As is my wont I changed my mind and washed the car on the street.... and managed to get my feet wet, before going to Leven to visit Jim.   Jim was having a mug of coffee in the Dining Room :  so I got myself a glass of water and joined him.    I didn’t take in any goodies today.... a sudden whim had me going down to the Care
Sunset time on the beach.
Home via the Baptist Kirk road thus missing all the shops.   We talked about my love life .... that didn’t take long ... and about new plans afoot for the village.   Jim got the gist of what I was talking about and contributed to the conversation.   The Carers began bringing in the wheel chairs for lunch so I bumbled off;  I didn’t even go to Sainsbury’s.... I couldn’t think of anything that I needed .... or fancied:  that's good.... it means I'm well stocked up with vital supplies.


21.00    I had planned to wash a couple of jerseys tomorrow but the weather forecast isn’t that good;  not good enough for drying jerseys anyway.   It’s to be breezy and cloudy.   I might make a start to clearing out the greenhouse having bought some heavy duty bin bags the other day for that job:  the plan is grow some Gardeners Delight tomatoes.   The cactuses are the only things almost growing in there now .... and they
The Ferry High Street.
need to be re-potted etc.   I bought cactus compost and feeding the other day for them but I can’t do much until the Spring.... other than clear out the greenhouse.
This has been a fairly quiet day for me though I did go to the beach at around sunset time.    We’ve had some interesting skies today especially at sunrise and sunset.   The light is always good then.    Sunset itself happened behind low cloud.
I think I will have a lie in tomorrow morning.... have a good rest before tackling the greenhouse.

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
