Overcast but warm ....


31st January 2020 (Friday)      09.30 ..... “A fresh wind with sunny
'arbour 'ouse re-opens next Wednesday!
intervals” is the weather forecast for KY9 today;  at the moment it’s overcast and damp looking but not cold..... it’s 10c on the garden thermometer.    I am choked up with a cold so will be lying low all day;   I have plenty to do in Ivy so I’ll stay in and stay warm;   I’m actually feeling brighter than I did yesterday just full of the cold.   Apparently it has been doing the rounds of the villages;  Geoff and Myra had it a couple of weeks ago.    Must ‘go’ slight flap on the kettle will be boiling;  going to consume copious amounts of tea today.

14.30    I am typing this slightly under the influence of a ‘Janice Toddie’;  this is good.    The ‘plan’ is to enjoy ... er take the medicine, then go to bed for 50.   I don’t go to bed because I can’t remain vertical it’s just that the ‘JT’ works better when in bed.   I had to go out to buy one of the ingredients... Lemsip;  and pick up my prescription so I went for a quick circumnavigate of villages and home by way of Balbuthie.    Hey this ‘JT’ is beginning to kick in.... I’m beginning to think that I can sing!
Kinneuchar.
The weather was bonnie when I was out but the sky has clouded over (or is it my eyelids that are falling down?) and it looks like we could have showers.   I’d better get of to bed .... my knees are beginning to feel .... slightly loose.   I should up and running in a couple of hours.... well perhaps tomorrow.

 20.00    Without doubt this has been a lazy day and tomorrow will be the same the ‘plan being to stay in and shake off this bug.    I will go for a circle round the villages in the car and, hopefully, do some ‘ousework but not much else.    I’m well stocked up with food .... and ‘JT' making components, and there’s a lot I want to do on the computer.
Well I suppose Nige and his pals will be gloating now that we are leaving the EU.    I know that the EU wasn’t perfect but I can’t help but think that the ‘man in the street’ will have a heavy price to pay for all this;  that said this is what  the majority voted for so it will be a price they will be happy to pay I suppose.
I am going to play with some photos on the computer then have an early night in bed with my book .... one of two that I got for Christmas, about Aberdeenshire.
 e of hours.... I haven’t lost my appetite!

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
