Slightly warmer ....



29th January 2020 (Wednesday)       07.45 .... the road is wet so we must
Nice pre sunrise sky.
have had some overnight rain .... and the air feels slightly less cold.   The forecast is for us to have sunny spells with light rain showers later.   I’m feeling ‘frisky as a frolicking ferret’ but it isn’t exactly a ‘play’ day as I have to wait in (11.15 to 15.30) for a new hub being delivered from BT.    I am looking forward to morning coffee with the ‘Troops’ in the ‘Pav’ at 10.00. 

09.30    Did I say it was warmer?.....it isn’t down at the harbour;  then it rarely is.   I found a sheltered place behind the rocks so I was warm enough but it is a day to be well wrapped up if exposed to the wind.   I’m orf to get the papers and have morning coffee with the Troops.    

Colourful north western sky.
15.00    We had a good ‘catch up chat’ in the ‘Pav’ and I am up to date with all the news but I have forgotten most of it:   except that I don’t visit Jim until Saturday.   Geoff had a cataract done and he is happy with that, Myra was off to have her hair done than was going to visit Jim.   I had to wait until 13.15 before the hub was delivered so missed the Lit Lunch at Colinsburgh.   After it (the hub) arrived I went to Leven to do the wee bit shopping I meant to do yesterday.
The forecast did mention showers what they didn’t mention was that it was going to be one long wet one, that started at 14.00 and looks like going on until dark.    It was a good afternoon for shopping.
On the way home I missed out the Muircambus Road as it is covered in mud, and came home via Colinsburgh.
17.30    It has been a wild afternoon... wind and rain so I have not been out again.   In
Bonnie sunrise.
fact I fell asleep in front of the tele, watching the news.... it was something to do with coming out of Europe.    Apparently we should be celebrating that event but I have no wish to celebrate ‘Rip Off Britain’ being ‘let off the lead’.  

It is going to be breezy tomorrow and cloudy but mostly dry;  by I mean F7.... yes definitely breezy.   It looks like it will be a computer day for ‘the boy’.

18.30    The rain cleared away just after dark and I can now see the moon and Venus.... it‘s a lovely evening, and I am a happy boy.

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
