Damp ....

7th March 2021 (Sunday) .... 07.30 we’ve had a shower of light rain and it


looks like we could have a few more showers to come;   the sky is overcast but there are small blue holes in the greyness, here are there, so it could brighten up in the afternoon.

I have the urge to go for a small adventure today but somehow I think the weather is not going to co-operate.   Right now I’m having a cappuccino (the new Kenco  – and it is good) before loupin’ intae the car to go for the paper.

14.00    I did the paper run and the harbour, which is empty again, the two creel boats having been craned out and taken to Anstruther.    On the way home I stopped at The Ship Inn beer garden;  I am going to miss not being able to wander around the beer garden once The Ship Inn re-opens.

Back at Ivy I remembered that this is Sunday and ‘went tae the kirk’ at 10.30.   I have finally got the hang of ‘Zoom’:  I found the ‘Leave Meeting’ button and can come out after the service.... and before the ‘Rooms’.   I am no good in a ‘Room’.


It has turned out to be a bonnie day here.... mostly sunny spells, but it’s cool when the sun does go behind a cloud.   I may go out on the bike later;  right now I need to have ‘50’.

20.00    I went for a walk later in the afternoon, up to the Pony Field and home by way of the golf course.   It has been a bonnie day; but the sky was clouding over by the time I went out;  I think that spells of light rain are forecast overnight.  Light rain showers and a gentle breeze, is out forecast for tomorrow;   hopefully the showers (if any) will be few and far between.

I’ve had a quiet day.... almost like Sunday’s used to be before commercialism; when Sunday was a ‘rest day’.   Tomorrow ?..... I might make tomorrow a ‘work day;   in the garden if it’s not raining and on the computer if it is raining.

It’s time to browse the TV and see if there’s anything I fancy watching;  if there isn’t I’ll


find something to do on the computer.

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
