Bonnie sunrise sky ....

 

18th November 2020 (Wednesday)      08.30 .... lovely sunrise sky this


morning.... not a particularly good sign, but awfie bonnie!    ‘Slight flap on’ this morning;  got to take the car to get it’s bits and pieces fixed.


15.00    Janet and I managed a short walk before having a cuppa in the conservatory with the doors open, thus observing the ‘rools’.    Normally Janet would have gone twice as far in the time we were out, but my wee legs dictated the speed we walk at... so a short walk it was.    I was back at the garage just as the rain started to get serious.    The car has it’s MOT for another year, but it’s unlikely that I’ll be travelling very much until next summer now;  Leven, St Andrews, Crail, and points in between will be the limits of my journeys until next summer.

The sky appears to be clearing so I may have a  walk to the beach in a wee while;   in between spells of rain..... though they are becoming shorter and further apart.

17.00      There’s a frisky wind a-blowin’ but it isn’t a cold wind.... not yet anyway.    The wind is going to change direction soon from a warm to a cauld direction.... bringing snow to the mountain tops in the Highlands.    In did have a daunder to the beach but didn’t meet anyone to talk to.    I saw a couple of dog walkers in the distance.

The most improved 'pub' in Leven;  they demolished it!

21.00    It looks like tomorrow is going to be the drying day this week, so the washing machine will go on first thing.    I don’t have a ‘plan’ but I’d like to get a bit of gardening done.... and get out on the bike.    Now that the stressful MOT ‘time’ is past I can relax:  so can Janet!... and my favourite niece called Lesley.   They are good listeners.

I shall have another cuppa (and maybe even a bit of gingerbread) and have a look for something to watch on the tele;   if I can’t find anything I fancy I’ll have an early night in bed with my book.    Not to me .... tomorrow I must remember to put an order in to Tesco.

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
