Feeling playful ....

 

14th November 2020 (Saturday)      09.00 .... I’m feeling frightfully

This morning at the Centre of the Universe.

frolicsome after a great night’s sleep;   I must have been tired after walking around in the Leven air yesterday.     What kind of weather are we going to have today? ..... well, at the moment,  there’s a brisk wind from the SSE, it’s overcast and looks like we could have spells of rain.    It’s not a morning for the bike. 

10.00     I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;  it was raining (lightly) but the sky looked almost promising, though whether it will clear away for the afternoon is doubtful.    A change of time for me at the ‘paper shop’ meant a change of faces.... well if we didn’t have masks it would have been a change of faces:   I mistook Dave for Jock at first.   Actually that’s one of the things that I find ‘different’ with this crisis.... I have to think before I go out.    Do I have a mask/.shield... what are the ‘rools’ etc.    I’m not good at this thinkin’....!   I had a blether with Dave, then Lynn came along so I caught up with her news.    It was all ‘go’ at the ‘paper shop’ this morning.

I see that ‘Gollum’ has left No 10;   that’s the bloke that drove 75 miles to test his eyes during shutdown.     Headline news ‘Dominic Cummings seen leaving No10 with a box’.    What was in the box?    Could it have been ‘Larry’ the cat?.... Chief Mouser at No 10.

Sparrow Hawk with snack. (Uckfield).

18.00     I took time out from working (on the bookshelves) to take a walk to the beach later in the afternoon:   I was looking for someone to talk too.... and ended up having a pleasant chat with Margaret (Earlsferry one).    Actually the beach was much busier than I expected it to be considering that there was a cool Southeast wind a blowin’;   I guess everyone was out to have a late afternoon stroll before sunset.... just like I was.

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
