Overcast and colder ....

 

16th September 2020 (Wednesday)     07.00 .... It’s overcast with a brisk

Curlew.

breeze from the NNE, and much cooler than yesterday.   Any early morning drizzle is  forecast to fade away, and sunny spells bumble our way in the afternoon.   I think I’ll have a ‘rest day’.... tomorrow is going to be bonnier; and a good ‘drying day’.

I haven’t been anywhere this morning, there’s light drizzle blowing through... and it’s cold.

09.30     When munching my way through breakfast, I decided that it was a good morning for doing a wee bit of retail therapy at ‘The Store’ (Co-op, Anstruther).    The shop was fairly busy, considering the time (07.50), but nae queues at the checkout, nor people blocking an aisle while they contemplated buying something.   I came home by the Kellie Castle road for a change of scenery.   This is me ‘moored up’ for the day;   until the sunny spells break through at least though I may have a daunder down to the beach after I’ve had a cuppa.


17.30     It has been dull and cold all day but I did get down to the beach for a couple of short walk;  wearing my heavy jacket.    And there was a surprising number of other, well wrapped up folk out enjoying the fresh.  

Most of my afternoon was spent watching Stage 17 and working on the computer.   Today’s stage was another hard slog up a mountain;   they will be glad when they reach Paris and can have a break from competitive cycling.   Mind you;  when you think about they (investors) have taken cycling, and all sports, (and sportsmen and women), to turn them into a means of advertising something:   Something we don’t really need most likely.

21.00    Tomorrow looks like being a good drying day so I am going to do a woollen


wash;   and go out on the bike.   If it’s a really nice day I may venture up to Balcarres;  I haven’t been there for weeks.

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

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
