Feeling frisky ....



23rd January 2020 (Thursday)      07.30 ....”Sunny intervals with a
Elie from the pier this morning.
moderate breeze” is the weather forecast for KY9 today.... and it’s not too cold so a good morning for having a haircut.  
 
09.00    I had a change of mind and went down to the harbour in the car for a walk round but there wasn’t much going on, and the sunrise though bonnie, wasn’t spectacular.   It was, as it always is at the harbour, cauld on the lugs.   The ‘plan’ was to pick up the papers on the way home but I didn’t have any money with me so that never happened.   I’ll get them on my way home from Leven.   Orf to have breakfast.

13.30    Once again we have the streamlined version of ‘me’;   I’ve had my haircut.   My lugs are cauld.  I was lucky when I went to the hairdressers as she had just started work so I got taken right away, and was in Stuart’s for a cuppa and a scone by 10.45.

Elie harbour beach.
The windscreen washers dried up just as I got to Leven  so I had to buy a gallon of windscreen wash to get them active again;  the roads are too muddy to drive anywhere without washers.   When I think about that I should have taken the car through the car wash:  I’ll do that tomorrow as In didn’t visit Jim today because I ran out of time before lunchtime at the Care Home.
The sky has clouded over in the past hour or so and it dull and cold now.   The bike will stay in the Hutte today;  if I do go anywhere in the afternoon it will be in the car.

16.30    For some obscure reason I decided that I fancied something with chicken in it for dinner so there’s a chicken casserole in the oven.   I didn’t go out anywhere although it has been a bonnie enough day to be out with the camera..... loads of clouds
This morning's sunrise.
etc.... in fact at times I thought we could get rain.   But that never happened.   I did do some work on the computer .... there’s a lot more to do but I am enjoying finishing off a project that Maggie and I started 11 years ago:  I only ‘picked it up’ again a few months ago and it has been an emotional journey.
19.30    For me this has been a strange kind o’ day;  I dinnae seem to have achieved much but I’m relaxed and even tired at the end of it.   Oh, I forgot ... I did some work on the computer and that pleased me .... that’s why I’m happy.

I’m wondering if I should visit Jim tomorrow morning being that I missed that today.  The weather forecast isn’t that exciting so it could be a perfect day for visiting.   I’ll have an early night in bed and make my mind up in the morning.

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
