Interesting sky ....

5th August 2020 (Wednesday)   08.30 ....After yesterday’s dampness it was

good to get out on the bike this morning:   although it is a nice enough morning it looks like we could get showers, or some spells of light rain later;  which means we have an interesting sky.    I went round the villages, meaning to pick up the paper on the way, but forgot to take a face covering with me so couldn’t go for the paper.   I might go out later in the car (the bike is on charge);  right now it’s breakfast time.

17.00    Welllll .... we have had a mixed bag of weather today (not very mixed in the afternoon though) but it has been pleasant in spite of the light rain:  the pollen levels have been low, and the garden is green.  Yes a pleasant day.

That is a shocking accident out in Beirut and my thoughts are with all the people who have been affected by the explosion.   I feel sorry for the ordinary Lebanese people, they’ve suffered greatly over the years, and deserve better.   ‘Macho Man’ politicians are the most divisive people on the planet.    Thankfully females, who have a caring and humanitarian outlook, are beginning to lead governments.

I haven’t done much though I did meet Myra at the seat in front of St Margaret’s from where we watch the activities on the beach.   Had I thought about it I’d have taken a mug of coffee down;  I’ll do that the next time.   Tomorrow morrrrrrrning we’re going to Myra’s for ‘morning coffee’. 

  Although the sky was overcast (with a blanket of stratus cloud) it was relaxing watching folks enjoying the beach.    The problem with stratus clouds is that you can get light rain from them.... which is what we have had all afternoon.   That’s stratus clouds sorted.

With it being wet I wasn’t able to do anything in the garden but, as I hadn’t intended doing anything in the garden anyway, I don’t feel guilty about that.   I have cleaned the bathroom but other than that I have been ‘resting’... and contemplating stuff.

21.00    The day is ending with a sunny spell.... and the forecast is good.... and I have a


fully charged bike.   I have recovered from my ‘adventure’ up to Kilbrackmont, but I fancy pottering around locally tomorrow.... starting with morning coffee at Myra’s.    I have to pick up a prescription at the Chemists at some point in the day so I’ll do that after morning coffee.

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
