Windy ....


16th January 2020 (Thursday)       10.00 .... There’s a brisk wind blowin’
Sunrise over Elie Bay.
so it’s cold when exposed to it..... like down on the beach.    It also spits rain now and again so the wee drop washing I have to do (most of the washing was done at Janice’s) will have to be done tomorrow .... or Saturday;  both days with better forecasts but also colder.   We have had a few sunny spells this morrrrrrrrning but mixed with spits and spots of rain.
I went to the beach to catch the sunrise and, as I said, it is cauld out in the wind.   Mark was out walking Achouk(?) and Dora walking Pat.... but the beach was quiet;  as you’d expect it to be at this time of year.   My immediate ‘plan’ is to take down the Christmas cards!     After another cuppa!

Chapel Green.

13.30   I had a turn round the ‘Centre of the Universe’ (on the bike) this morning, and everything appears to be where and as it should be:  apart from Chapel Green house which is in the early stage of being demolished so it, (Chapel Green House), soon won’t be where it used to be .... but it is going to be replaced by a new ‘Chapel Green House’.  
The bike is back in The Hutte and the battery is being charged up, hopefully for a longer run out either tomorrow or Saturday.
18.30    Moira took me up to Arncroach this afternoon to pick up the car so I guess I am well and truly back home after my Sussex ‘oliday.... with the car moored up at the door.   It has just started to rain at that time but it is now windy wet and cold;  not a
Chapel Green House.
bonnie evening:  I certainly won’t be doing any washing tomorrow morrrrning even though the rain is forecast to clear away by then.   Actually the ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to do a bit of vital shopping, visit Jim and generally get myself back into ‘my’ local routine.    I had got used to all the chit chat of “No 1”:  now I need to get used to being on my own again... sand nae chit chat.   I do have a load of photographs to sort out that ‘JB’ and I ‘took’ at Walton so I’ll make a start on that.   In the meantime I need another cuppa!

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
