Heavy rain .....

 

30th September 2020 (Wednesday)     07.30 .... It is raining (as per weather

 Ferry Road.

forecast) and has been most of the night by the look of the garden.    It is a good morrrrrning for going to ‘The Store’;   I don’t need very much but ‘retail therapy’ (and the odd goodie) will help on a dull, wet morning. 

09.00     I’ve been to  Anstruther (‘The Store’ )so that’s the ‘retail therapy’ done for the day.    There’s a lot of water on the roads but the sky was clearing towards the south so we might get a few sunny spells later.    I noticed a section of empty shelves in the shop;  the family sized toilet roll section..... empty because of people panic buying.    (I bought a pack of four!).   We live in strange times.   Anyway I’ve done the shopping .... and bought a varied selection of ‘goodies’.   Today looks like being a good day for working in the kitchen so I'm going to make apple crumble.  One of my proper food 'buys'  was two packets of crumble mix.

Elie Bay this afternoon.

14.00     I decided to check my ‘in box’ just now and;   I have an appointment for a flu’ jab on 12th October at the East Neuk Centre, Ladywalk, Anstruther.    The system is working albeit after a ‘few hiccups’.   It will be interesting to see where Myra goes for her jab:  Geoff had to go to Leven, I’m going to Anstruther.... I think Myra will probably be Anstruther.    At least we now know that you do end up with an appointment via e-mail;   I was beginning to wonder about that.

Moan ahead.     I have to admit that I have never been a great admirer of American politics; .... to me it’s always seemed to be of the ’big hammer small nut’ kind.   I’ve been reading  about the Trump Biden ‘face off’ last night and, I know it seems impossible, but under the present President,  American politics is finding new depths.   And American ‘democracy’?.... well that’s something else.   I hope the sun shines tomorrow.  Safe now.

21.00      The evening did turn out to be bonnier.... dry with patches of blue sky;  but it


has not been the best of days.   But I now have an appointment for the flu jab.... so that’s good.   The apple crumble that I made today was tasty and I have one in the freezer, so that was another plus for today.    Yes .... it hasn’t been such a bad day after all;  and tomorrow’s weather is going to be bonnier though there will still be the chance of showers and spells of light rain.

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
