Bright and breezy ....

 

9th October 2020 (Friday)     07.00 .... There’s a brisk breeze bringing a bit of


wind chill, but other than that it’s a lovely start to, w hat is forecast to be, a bonnie (but breezy) day.    I’m going to have a cuppa before going for the paper.  

11.00    Everything is where it should be this morning..... but it is cold in the stiff North-westerly breeze.    You’ll have surmised that I have been for the paper, and have checked out the harbour (the boats come out next week) but have yet to go to Chapel Green.   I’ll do that once the air is warmer.    The broon bucket has just been emptied so I can do some gardening again.   We can take stuff to the recycling depot at Pittenweem but you have to make an appointment so I’m just using the ‘broon bucket’ ... and the other ones as necessary.

21.00       It has been a nice day although the cold wind meant having to wrap up well.  After the wind had moderated a bit (later in the afternoon), I went down to the beach (wrapped up well) for a wee bit o’ exercise:  it had been too windy, and cold, for me to go out on the bike again, so I never did get up to Chapel Green.     The lassie on the weather forecast said that the temperature is going to be below average, for this time of year, for the next few days.

This afternoon.

One of the postcard albums was delivered today;  the other two will probably turn up tomorrow.    They will definitely do the job.... I’ll have to order some more.... though I will need one that takes a bigger size of postcard.     This is a really fascinating project for the winter.   Winter? .... that reminds me;  I get my flu jab on Monday..... at Ladywalk (Anstruther).   Having just looked up the forecast for Monday it looks like there’s the chance of showers;  I had thought of mooring the car down at the ‘arbour and wandering (slowly) up to Ladywalk (with the camera).   I’ll have to wait and see just ‘iggzactly’ what the weather is on Monday before I do that.

Tomorrow’s weather is going to be a repeat of today’s (more or less) for us;  that’s good

Ferry Road.

because, although cool, the sky could be interesting.    I don’t have to wait in for the delivery because it’s the Royal Mail,... and delivered by the  ‘postie’.    Mind you, if it’s windy and cauld I’ll probably be hanging around Ivy anyway;  doing Soduko’s in the Hutte.

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
