Peaceful start to the day .....

 

21st October 2020 (Wednesday)      08.30 ..... It’s a nice, quiet, still kind of


morning but there’s not much of a breeze to dry the washing that’s on the line.   It’s doubtful if it will dry very much at all, but at least it will get an airing.    Sunny spells, with rain showers later, is the weather forecast.    I’ll have another cuppa before going  for the paper. 

 17.00     What an absolutely cracker of a day this has been;   yes, the sky has  clouded over in the past couple of hours, and it is probably going to rain.... but... hey ho .... wasn’t it a gorgeous day before the clouds came over.

It took me nearly an hour and a half to get the paper this morning... and I never left the villages.    The villages look good all the time, but this morning there was something ( I don’t know what) that made everywhere look even bonnier than usual.   I went round the villages in 201 clicks, and only ‘dumped’ 11 that were slight OOF.   Oh I really enjoyed myself.   The villages are busy, with people wandering about all over the place;   I’m lovin’ it.


I have done some ‘work’ today, having made a chicken casserole,... ending up with four ‘ready meals’ for the freezer, and one for lunch today.    It hasn’t all been ‘play’.     My next task indoors is to fill up all the postcard albums I have so that I know how many I need to finish the job.    I’m not in a hurry to get this done;  it’s a rainy day  job.   I sort them out (the postcards) into bundles of  ‘been through the mail service’ or ‘haven’t been through the mail service’:  that’s a job I do when watching the tele in the evening.   It’s hard work being ‘me’.



20.00     The washing I hung out didn’t quite dry, but it was dry enough to iron and is now ironed and dangling in front of the radiator on one of those ‘horse’ things.    It looks like tomorrow morning might be damp, so any biking I do will be in the afternoon.    I might have a ‘lie in’ tomorrow morning..... if it is wet.    There’s plenty to do with the

postcards during inclement weather....in fact they should keep me going right through the winter.

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
