Bonnie sky day ....

5th January 2021 (Tuesday)     08.30      ‘My word .... it was wet bleak when


I first looked out so I had a shower:    it was still bleak when I looked out after having a shower.     I’m thinking of hibernating today, which is going to be overcast with sleet showers and going straight to Wednesday   .... ‘sunny with a light breeze’.   It’s raining just now so no beach at sunrise time this morning.    Having said that the sky should begin to clear soon  and give us a few blue patches, so it’s not all doom and gloom:  there might even be a sunny spell or two.    I’m still feeling romantic.....! 

17.00    I had a funny dream last night;   it wisnae ‘funny’, as in laughable.... just queer.   The dream: ..... my car had rolled down and bumped into the boot of the car in front.... but in the end it was the car behind me that had rolled down and burst open my boot revealing an untidy car boot.  (Note to me;  must tidy up the boot).    Anyway, it woke me up and I couldn’t get back to sleep so ended up reading my book, at 03.00 in the morning;   and feeling tired all day today.   Did fall asleep in front of the tele in the afternoon (nae surprise there), but I’m looking for a good night’s sleep tonight.


In the morning I’d taken the car along to Elie to pick up the paper (I’m falling out with the Scotsman) and go to the surgery to pick up a sample bottle.    My annual hypertension appointment is still on for tomorrow.    My BP is not quite through the roof but somewhere among the rafters.   (I have one of those machines for reading BP).... e.g this morning’s reading was 153/90.  

After not watching the tele I thought I’d better go to the beach for a wee bit exercise;    I’d only reached the beach when a shower bumbled its way over.   I’ve not had the best of luck today:  I shall definitely remember to have my Horlicks at bedtime (I forgot last night).

21.30   The forecast is excellent for tomorrow.... sunny with a light West wind, but cold. 


   The only thing I have on tomorrow is the BP appointment at the surgery.    I should get out sometime in the middle of the day.... when the sun will be at it’s warmest.

I’ve had my Horlicks and am looking forward to a good (and unbroken) night’s sleep.

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
