Overcast and slightly warmer ....

14th February 2021 (Sunday)       08.30 .... “Happy Valentine’s Day” to


everybody;   I hope your day and ‘bubble’, is overflowing with love and happiness, in spite of the lockdown.   My ‘bubble’ is full of ‘me’ .... and I’m feeling ‘romantic’ .... so (((((hugs))))) and XXXXXX’s to all the girls on this lovely Planet of ours.

On first looking out this morning I thought this was ‘another gloomy day’ .... but there are bright bits in the sky, the weather forecast isn’t that bad (the wind is going to veer to the Southwest) and it isn’t frosty.    I’ll go for the paper after breakfast (‘cos I’m hungry) and to the harbour to check for discrepancies.


10.30    All is good at Elie and Earlsferry this morning;  I’ve been for the paper, checked the harbour and found out that it is not warm out.   I was only able to take six photos because I’d forgotten to empty the camera card.... so I’ll have to go for a walk, to the beach, in the middle of the day.   In the meantime it’s time for ‘a warm up mug o’ coffee’.


17.30   I eventually went to the beach later in the afternoon, by which time the wind had moderated and it wasn’t as cold as it had been in the morning.   Most of the afternoon had been spent helping Miss Marple;  and sleeping.   I enjoyed my walk on the beach, even though it was short:   the sky was moody and we had big rollers thumping’ onto the beach.   I managed to get a few photos to ‘play with this evening. 






19.30   With a bit of luck all the snow and ice will have gone by tomorrow morning;  I’m thinking ‘bike’, though I doubt if I’ll actually get out on it tomorrow.   The weather forecast isn’t bad... ‘light cloud with a gentle breeze from the SSW’;  but there be a lot of water lying around.  

The kirk service is back on YouTube again so I didn’t go onto ‘Zoom’.    On 'Zoom' I'd


have to brush my hair.    I can understand why ‘Zoom’ is used;  it give our Minister’s a visible congregation .... and a chance for elders to do a reading.    The online service is working well.   

No ‘plan’ for tomorrow morning.... other than go to the beach first thing, then to Elie for the paper after breakfast.   I’m now away to see if there’s anything worth watching on the tele.   



21.30      The very first ‘Endeavour’ (young Morse) was on so I ended up watching something on the tele.... and I didn’t fall asleep!   I suppose I’d best go and make the bedtime ‘orlicks, have a look at the ‘News’ ....mostly COVID-19 statistics .... hardly ever any mention of Brexit and Europe.   I wonder why?

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
