Bright and breezy ....

 

20th August 2020 (Thursday)     08.00 .... we have a ‘drying day;   and I have

some of washing on the line already, with sheets going through the machine as I type.    We had some rain overnight but not very much so it looks like being a bonnie but breezy day.... and the wind (F4) appears to be coming from the southwest just now.... the sea is running that way anyway.

I’m feeling brighter this morning, but I don’t intend falling asleep in the Hutte with the door closed again.... it gets too hot, and I end up with a serious attack of ‘the mauchless’.   Today is going to be a ‘rest day’, though I will get out on the bike by lunchtime.    Must ‘go’ slight flap on got a boiling kettle to sort out.

16.00    I had planned to go to Neil’s this morning (and the ‘paper shop’) on my way home from Kinneuchar.... but couldn’t go to either:  I forgot to take a mask with me.    Other than that I enjoyed my bike run.... and I met Stewart;  busy doing things to the boathouse just now.   I then completed my tour of the villages via The Terrace, South Street and Chapel Green:   I noticed a few showers around us but we have been lucky and they missed KY9;   the washing is dry so I am not bothered about showers now.   Thundery showers and brisk winds are forecast for tomorrow so doing the washing today was the right choice.

21.00    It has been a productive a productive day for 'the boy';  even did the ironing..... and some ‘ousework.    I’m thinkin’ that tomorrow might be a computer day if the showers that are forecast do come our way, and are frequent;  actually looks like it could be rain first thing in the morning.    Going for the ‘paper’ could be a car job

This has been an enjoyable day today with a mix of ‘work’ (not much) and play (a healthy amount).  Most importantly I didn't sit in The Hutte during the heat of the day to avoid can attack of the 'mauchless' (heat exhaustion).   I've been thinking.... KY9 is very lucky with showery weather;  they mostly miss us.    Long may it stay that way.

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
