Misty ....

 

7th November 2020 (Saturday)       09.00 .... It’s a nice morning but there is an


early morning mist;  which the sun should burn off by mid morning.    I’ve been up to Chapel Green and along to the Breakwater, then decided to go no further ‘cos I was hungry;  but will go out again once the sun does break through.







17.00 The sun nearly broke through in the middle of the day, but not for long;  it has been misty most of the day.    The wind veered round to the Southeast after lunch time and the air turned colder .... and damper.   I think rain is mentioned  in,  the forecast for tomorrow.    I have plenty to be getting on with so a wet day won’t bother me too much.

The American Presidential Election continues to bumble along but it does look like there’s going to be a change of President.    I wonder if Trump knows why he ‘lost’?      No doubt everybody will have been ‘out of step apart from our Donald’.

Misty afternoon.

20.00     Hmmmm .... I have had a really lazy day by my standards, having spent most of the afternoon watching the tele.    Susan Calman was in Edinburgh and Fife (St Andrews) so that was an interesting hour.    The rest of the time I watched a ‘Midsomer Murders’ that I hadn’t seen before.... and I managed to fall asleep before the end of it.   Oh well ....let’s hope I’m a bit brighter the next time it’s on.    I’ve been a bit ‘down’ lately;  but I hope to feel like a newly hatched chicken tomorrow morning.   That could be unfortunate for the first lady that I meet because she will be my ..... ‘Mummy’!  

The villages are quieter this weekend.... November is normally a really quiet month; and

Kinneuchar loch.

is the month that I make my Christmas cards.    I didn’t intend making my own cards this year but changed my mind, because I enjoy making them.... and I have blank cards, and ink, so that will be a mission that I might start tomorrow.... especially if it is dull and wet.

I can’t talk to ‘M’ (New Zealand) on Skype just now as she is on holiday for a couple of weeks.    New Zealand is back to near enough normal regarding COVID-19 just now.... though it does occasionally reappear via the airports.

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
