Quiet start to the day ....


9th June 2020 (Tuesday)     07.00 ....  although it’s overcast just now today’s
Elie harbour.
weather forecast for KY9  is ‘sunny intervals and light south westerly winds’... a nice day ahead:  unfortunately the forecast for the next few days is drearier, with light rain at times and mostly overcast.    Sometimes we get lucky and miss the dull weather.... let’s hope so;  I’m not keen on overcast skies though they can often be dramatic.  


09.30    The sun is beginning to break through and the temperature rising.... going to be a bonnie day ... and slightly warmer than of late.   I’ve been for the paper (in the car ‘cos I was in need of milk) and down to the harbour (which was looking extremely peaceful) then back home well ready for another cuppa.    I’ll get the bike out after lunch and have afternoon coffee up at Chapel Green if the weather stays bonnie:  rain is forecast for later this evening.


19.00    Myra phoned this afternoon to tell me that Geoff had  fainted then had a ‘funny turn’ and was taken to the Victoria Hospital (Kirkcaldy).   At this moment we don’t know what the problem is but the team at the ‘Vic’ will find out what happened,
This afternoon.
and sort it all out.... we know that Geoff is in the right place and will be well looked after.   When I came out of Elie Estate after a bike run this afternoon I saw the ambulance in Geoff’s street but never thought it would be for Geoff.


21.00     Well it’s been a funny old day;  the news that Geoff’s in hospital has ‘knocked me for six’;  it was really lucky Geoff’s cleaner being there when he fainted ,though it must have been a shock for her.   She contacted Myra, who went along and ... well ... it all happened.  
 

The rain that was mentioned in the forecast arrived just after 18.00 and it’s a grey and
The estate road.
wet evening;  the forecast for tomorrow is ‘mixed’, mostly rain of varying intensity, so I’ll probably work on the computer.   I have some writing to ‘tidy up’ and tomorrow looks like being the kind of day for doing that.    I’ll make a list for Ardross Farm Shop which I’ll pick up ... probably on Thursday.   I think tomorrow could be a busy day for ‘the boy’ even if it is ‘mixed’ and I don’t get out on the bike.

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
