Dreich morning ....

28th January 2021 (Thursday)      08.30 .... (Moan) Welllll ....we a have


really miserable morrrrrrrning;  ‘BJ’ is coming to Scotland, spreading the Southeast variant of how loved we are by the likes of him, Farage and all the other Brexiteers.   I daresay he will be on our 'News' Channels....  all day, along with  .DRoss and all the usual  sycophants:  I must remember to avoid the News Channels.    Oh ..... I absolutely disagree with someone, aye even the Prime Minister,  travelling from the Southeast for a politically motivated visit at this time.   The weather is dreich too.   Moan over.

I am feeling fine this morrrrrrrning;   I do have slightly sore muscles around the arms, neck shoulders, which is one of the symptoms you can expect after the ‘jab’.   This has surprised me ‘cos I didn’t think I had any muscles left!   Otherwise I feel ‘playful’    It will be a day of computer work and finding something to watch on the tele (other than the News).


10.00    I’ve been for the paper.... and down to the harbour and, although it’s raining...  it isn’t heavy.... and it’s not cold.  On the way up from the harbour I stopped at the Ship Inn, to take advantage of their garden being covered, to get a few photos!    Perfect.

14.00    It has been a damp day so far;  every time I go the door to see if it’s raining .... it is;   so no walk for me today.    I did find a couple of programmes to watch:  one called ‘The Islands of Fire’ and a ‘Foyle’s War’ (it’s set in Sussex) that I hadn’t seen.    Now I’m fired up and ready to work.    After a cuppa that is!

20.30    I have done a fair amount of work today..... in fact I’m happy with today’s efforts.    The ‘jab’ hasn’t affected me at all so far .... not any more than the normal flu ‘jab’.    I saw on the ‘News’ (yes.... I did end up having a look at the ‘News) that Germany has decided that the ‘Oxford’ vaccine should only be given to under 65’s.   Probably ‘sour grapes’ because the EU didn’t have the savvy to order early.... whereas

The 'Ship Inn'.

the  UK Government did.   Anyway I’m thankful that I got the jab yesterday.... and it was the ‘Oxford’ vaccine.    So Boris is my ‘pal’.... though I still object to him travelling up to Scotland (or anywhere) under the present ‘rools’.

The forecast isn’t good for tomorrow;   more rain at first though it should begin to clear away later in the afternoon.    Saturday will be a bike day!

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

 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
