Damp ....

6th February 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 ....Although the sky is heavily


overcast and its windy and wet,  I am sure I can see some paler bits of grey in the general greyness this morning;  oh I’m not thinking ‘sunny spells  and sun cream’....  more of a slight slackening in the intensity of the dampness. If such a ‘slackening’ occurs I will take the car up to Chapel Green and have a stroll round there .... for a change of scenery.   It’s a computer/TV/ and numerous cuppas day again!

14.00    It has been a ‘bonnier’ day and I have taken advantage of it, having done the ‘paper run’ (except that I forgot to stop at the paper shop – so nae paper), the harbour, under the Ship Inn awning .... and up to Chapel Green.   It was raining most of the time, with short spells of heavier rain, but I enjoyed being out.   I was well wrapped and wearing the wellies.    Now I am tired and well ready to watch(?) something on the tele.

My fishing place at Kincraig cliffs.

17.00    I’ve been watching a programme, called ‘The Victorians’, and found it so interesting that I haven’t fallen asleep.    It has been on for most of the  afternoon and doesn’t finish until 19.30, but I use the time that the adverts are on to do other things;  like computer stuff etc.

The weather has deteriorated again and it has turned colder;  the good thing is that we could have a few blinks of the sun tomorrow.   It would be a big boost to the morale to see it again;   even for a ‘blink’.

21.00    I have had a good day;  much success on the computer, Scotland won at Twickenham (if they make winning there a regular occurrence, (every 29 years), I will be 119 the next time).... and I found a TV programme to enjoy.   Yes an enjoyable day for this boy.   I never did have an afternoon nap so I am tired and should sleep well tonight.

‘Light snow showers and a fresh breeze’ is our weather forecast for tomorrow... and


colder.    I might take another turn round Chapel Green on the ‘paper run’ tomorrow.... and remember to stop to get the paper.  It will be a computer day mostly.

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
