Early morning fog ....


10th April 2020 (Friday)    08.30 .... “Happy Easter Weekend” to
Early morning fog still hanging around.
everyone.... stay home and safe.   “Happy Birthday” to my lil’ sister Janet.... have a great day.
We have a lovely start to the day though it is foggy inland (Kinneuchar):  it looks like being a bonnie day and I think I’ll get out on the bike once the temperature rises .... the sun is trying hard to break through the clouds/fog .... at the moment the air is cool.   What a difference a brighter day makes;   I’m feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed today:  didn’t feel that way yesterday.
I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour now I’m feeling peckish and ready for another cuppa.    I’ll have some Blacketyside strawberries on my Weetabix:  got them in the ‘paper shop’.  

  20.00     I accomplished a number of things today one of which was remembering to go to the Chemist to pick up my prescription.     I had no problem in getting it’   Rhona (chemist)brought my package to the door, I stayed back on the pavement;  I had rubber gloves on to sign the prescription but signing has been ‘dispensed’ for as long as this crisis is with us.
Spring continues to 'spring'.
One of the other wee jobs I did was take some old glass to the Woodhaven recycling place.   The clearing out of the greenhouse continues slowly and steadily.
Myra phoned to keep me updated with all that’s happening at her end of the ‘Royal Burgh’;  Myra keeps in touch with and cheering up ‘her boys’:  Geoff and I are lost when leaderless.    Kirsty brought round the tea bags I had asked her get for me .... plus she added 3 Easter chocolate eggs.   Shona dropped in earlier in the morrrrrning (she was down at the baker’s) but of course we couldn’t chat too long because of the social distancing:  she is fine and there’s nothing happening at Kinneuchar.
After lunch I went out on the bike for a turn along to Elie then home by way of the
Elie harbour beach.
estate;  we’ve had a bonnie day albeit  with a cool northeast breeze.   The breeze didn’t bother me on the estate road but it was cool on the lugs out in the open.   In between all this activities I managed to do a couple of Soduko’s.
Nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow (Saturday):  it has been raining somewhere I can feel it in the wind; which has backed to the Westerly.   It’s forecast to be brighter and considerably warmer tomorrow... but there might be some light tonight. I haven’t been up the Ferry High Street today;  I’ll do that in the morning on the way to the beach.

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
