Foggy and peaceful ....

 

9th November 2020  (Monday)    08.30 ... We have thick fog at present, with


hardly a breath of wind.... so it’s not cold, but is damp.    I have been as far as the front gate, and won’t be going much further until after breakfast.    The forecast says that the fog will thin but no mention of ‘sunny spells’;  however I’m feeling optimistic.... actually I feel quite frolicsome  this morning but it’s too wet to take the bike out.   On the way to the front door I have to pass the kitchen .... so the kettle will have boiled.

11.00    The sky is beginning to look slightly brighter so we might have  a ‘bright spell’ in the afternoon.     I went to the beach for my pre-breakfast walk ....  it was really peaceful;  with lazy looking waves flopping onto the beach .   I loved it.   One or two people were out walking their dogs but the village appears quieter this morning;  and I’m hoping to get out on the bike after lunch time.

21.00      We ended up with a lovely afternoon.... and I did find time to go out on the bike.    Up at Chapel Green I spoke to a young couple that were out walking, and was surprised to find that the lassie was Mrs Prosser’s daughter.    Her older sister Louise (sadly died at a young age) used to come round to play with our Michael.  That’s going


back to the early 70’s. 

I’ve had a reasonably active day.... outside and inside.    Outside was mostly ‘playing’ but inside was ‘work on the computer’ and making Cottage Pies for the freezer.    I need to go to Ardross now.... to top up with mince.    I imagine the shop will be quieter now;   the villages are.

There’s never much to write about nowadays;  my activities more or less follow the same pattern every day.   I feel like going to Kinghorn and Dysart for a change of scenery, but I’m not sure of the toilet situation.... and I will only go that far on a really good day.    Tomorrow is going to be overcast, and damp again.... but not


cold for this time of year.   I had a good day with the camera today;   there was a beautiful ‘light’ about in the afternoon, so I ended up with loads of photographs to play with.

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
