Bright and breezy with heavy showers....

12th March 2021 (Friday)   09.30 .... We have a ‘bright and breezy’


start to the morning, but the washing has been cancelled, due to the fact we have heavy showers bumbling across, fairly frequently just now.  

I’ve been for the paper and visited the harbour, Ship Inn beer garden then home by way of Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.   It’s a bonnie morning to be out..... well wrapped up in the car, ‘cos it’s cauld.... and wet now and again.   My ‘plans’ have had to be modified because of the  inconsiderate inclement weather.   I opened a new box of tea bags.


16.30   I did the washing, but it never reached the washing line;  the showers have been to frequent.... and heavy.   I’ll hang it out first thing in the morning.   I managed a walk to the beach, in between showers and, although short (and cool) it was enjoyable:  it has been beautiful in between showers.    I also did a wee bit of ‘planning’, but this has been mostly a ‘lazy’ day.  I hope there’s something good to watch on the tele tonight.


Yesterday I was passing Harbour House (in the car) when I noticed that the door was open and that there was someone coming out;  who was coming out?.... none other than our lovely Laura.   This got me into wondering when ‘arbour ‘ouse (and other coffee shops) might be opening, so I checked up what I think are the latest ‘rools’ and reached the conclusion that coffee shops won’t be opening until the end of April.   However, seeing Laura raised my hopes.... and brightened up my day.

21.00     There was an interesting sky this afternoon so I went to the harbour for a run in the car;  it was wild down there but I got to the shelter of the Ship Inn beer garden before the front edge of the shower.  There wasn’t much going on at the harbour, but there’s a sign of potential activity down there tomorrow.

The Master Plan’ for tomorrow has been concocted:   I’ll get the washing on the line


first thing (it’s a better forecast), then get the bike out, after breakfast, and head for the harbour.  That’s assuming the weather is as forecast.   If it’s a really nice day I might even go through the estate.

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
