Warm ....

 

18th December 2020 (Friday)     06.30.... I can hear the waves rollin’ onto


the beach so the breeze is from the South... and it’s warm:  Warm for this time of year that is.    It’s still dark so, even though there is probably plenty to see I can’t see it;  stars aren’t visible so the sky is overcast.  It's a nice morning;  the aches and pains are where they should be and I’m feeling playful....  I’ll get the bike out in a wee while and go for the paper.     There is an increasing chance of light showers after midday playtime will be in the morning:  at this time we have light drizzle.

14.00     The sunrise sky this morning was really bonnie and peaceful.   It wasn’t a spectacular red sky:  This morning’s sky was one of my favourite, dream inducing skies.   I’ve been dreaming ever since.


 The parcel I've been waiting for was delivered at 12.30 so I thought I’d have a coffee then go for a walk up to the Pony Field.   I got as far as the phone box (50 metres) when it began to rain so that plan was aborted.    I’ve put the bike on charge in anticipation of better weather tomorrow.... and I’m now having another  coffee before doing some work, because it doesn’t look like I’ll be going out for a walk this afternoon.  


19.00   Half an hour or so  after I abandoned the walk to the Pony Field lo and behold.... the drizzle stopped and the sun broke through for a brief spell.   I took the chance and did the ‘Pony Field’ walk;  the sun disappeared but at least it was dry and I got some exercise.    Then bike has a fully charged battery and the weather prospects for tomorrow are ‘goodish’;   showers are mentioned but I’m thinking of going to Kinneuchar, if any showers that come our way are not too frequent.

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
