BST (British Summer Time) starts ....


29th March 2020 (Sunday)   07.30 .... I’ve been for the paper and,
Nice morning for walking ... or cycling.
although the sky is heavily overcast just now, I saw breaks in greyness towards the Northwest so we might just have a few sunny spells later though they haven’t been mentioned in the weather forecast;   there is a light wind and it’s definitely cauld on the lugs.... and hands if you don’t have gloves on.    I’ll go for a walk after breakfast.
I remembered to change the clocks last night including my wrist watch and it is not easy to change;  I kept getting the days and dates wrong and all I wanted to do was change the hands... anyway it's now done after about half an hour.    I see that the 'toon' clock and Elie Church clocks are both at 02.00 (it's now 07.50) .... never seen that before.   Orf to have another cuppa .... and breakfast.
Admiring the view from Lundar Law.
11.00     It is cold on the beach but nonetheless it was fairly busy with dog walkers,  non dog walkers and ‘me’.   The ‘bloo’ sky is slowly coming in from the Northwest and we should/could have a few sunny spells in the afternoon.... in fact the sun has broken through ... it isn’t too windy... so ... after I have a cuppa... ‘the boy’ is going to go out on the bike.    Slight ‘flap on’ now.

18.00    We have a ‘happy boy’ in Ivy tonight;  I’ve been out on the bike.   Only round the villages today but now I’m wondering if I could do the Balbuthie Loan run for exercise?    It’s one of my normal ‘local’ runs:  obviously much as I’d like to go to Balcarres it wouldn’t be classed as ‘local’.... but I’m thinkin’ Balbuthie would be.   Mind you having said that I read in the paper that the ‘stay at home’ “rools” will have to become stricter:  any ‘new rools’, that contribute to taking the strain off the NHS Staff, who are already working like Trojans saving lives.... (and for them it is expected to get harder).... can  only be for the best.     My admiration and ‘love’ for them all is boundless.   
I’ve enjoyed myself bumbling around the villages on nigh on empty streets (apart from
The Toft - Elie.
the ‘Royal Burgh’ for some reason).    The sun has been breaking through but never for any great length of time but when it was ‘out’ it was really warm.... even at the harbour.   Of course I managed to get a few photographs to ‘play’ with.
21.00    I’m beginning to settle into this new routine .... and if we could have sunny and warm weather it would be almost enjoyable.   I can potter about all over the golf course, the streets are quiet and I meet the occasional friend to talk too.   I still go for my morning paper;  in fact I intend biking along for the paper tomorrow.... the weather forecast is ‘nae bad’.

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
