Autumn Equinox .....

 

22nd September 2020 (Tuesday)     06.30 .... The  Autumn Equinox, the


‘official’ start of Autumn;   though nature’s autumn began in August.   It’s going to be mostly overcast today with a brisk breeze;  tomorrow looks like being a better washing day;   sunny spells are forecast.   No real ‘plan’ for today.... it really depends on what happens with the weather. 
 

09.30     I’ve been to The Store to get a few vital ‘odds and ends’... all I need to do now is organise a mission to Ardross Farm Shop.     I’m thinking of actually going into the shop to have a browse ;  I’ll do that one morning this week.

At the moment the grey sky is not persuading me to bumble down to the beach:  I’ll have a cuppa and hope that the sky breaks up by lunchtime.   There’s an ironing needing to be done;   it’s a good morning for doing that.


18.30   It’s been dull most of the day, though the sun did try hard around midday and I actually got caught in a fleeting blink of sunshine up at Chapel Green.... without sun-cream!    At that time it wasn’t that cold but it feels like it’s  turned colder in the past couple of hours:  I’ve just been out to the Hutte.

There was a lot of folk doing the Coastal Walk;  at least there was a lot of folk going round Chapel Green that looked like they were doing the Coastal Walk.   It’s an interesting walk:   Maggie and me did a fair bit of it but her nae weelness brought that to a sudden halt.    Which was when we decided to research her family tree etc.

21.00    I took stuff out to the bucket and discovered that it’s starting to rain.... nae surprise there.    The rain should clear by morning, leaving us with a ‘braw drying day’;  then again maybe not.

New ‘rools’ are being rolled out re COVID-19;  from what I’ve heard so far it’s going to be a tricky winter .... especially for elderly people.    Being in a ‘bubble of one’ is not the most exciting thing, but I guess it may have to be that way until a vaccine, or an effective


way of dealing with this virus is found.    Luckily I have a lot of friendly neighbours so there’s always someone around;  that said it’s me that’s hardly ever around, especially if the weather is‘fine’.... I’m always out on my bike.

Tomorrow should be a good drying day according to the forecast so I’ll do a wee washing;  I’m really up to date with washing, but I always take advantage of a good drying day now.   I have no plan to go for an adventure tomorrow;   I am thinking of going to ‘arbour ‘ouse to get a carry out ‘morning coffee’.   I haven’t been to Harbour House for along time.

Oh dear;   I’m ending the day with a migraine... it’ll be the weather.   A couple o’ pills, a cuppa then orf to bed it is.

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
