Bright and sunny .... the weather too

6th April 2021 (Tuesday)   08.00 .... When I checked the garden thermometer

St Monans harbour  'Middle Pier'.

this morning (07.00) it was just under 0C so not as cold as yesterday morning..... and definitely not as windy and therefore less wind-chill.... it’s almost ‘warm’.    The wind should freshen later.   I’m looking forward to, a well wrapped up me, enjoying a ‘bright and sunny’ day.

13.00    It’s a gorgeous day;  it is a bit breezy but not nearly as cold as it was yesterday.    After going to the ‘paper shop’ and Barnett’s the Baker, I decided to have a change of harbour today;  I’d go to St Monans.   On the way past the Toll Green (Elie) I automatically indicated right  .... and went to the harbour:  so I did both Elie and St Monans harbours.     Elie is more exposed to any wind, whereas St Monans is more sheltered from wind from the northerly direction:  that said, I was well wrapped up, and enjoyed a wander round both.   Both harbours have boats on the piers, ready to be ‘craned in’ on Friday:  while St Monans has more ‘working boats’ in the harbour.   I have had an enjoyable morning;  now I need to have lunch.... which will be followed by a short ‘catnap’ then some ‘creative’ work.


17.30    I've had an enjoyable afternoon, sitting in The Hutte enjoying a cuppa and doing artistic things.    Not much effort required to draw.   It has taken until today for my muscles to recover from climbing the step ladders when cleaning the windows on Sunday.     I have no intention of doing step ladder climbing as an exercise, so that I’m fit for the next window cleaning session.    









21.30     We say ‘Cheerio’ to Olive tomorrow afternoon, by ‘paying our respects’ as the hearse passes by;  the route being along Meadow Road in Barnyards then Main street Kilconquhar.    This could be one of the few, ‘new’ ways of doing things that could become ‘normal’ practice.    It seems a good and practical way of saying ‘Cheerio’ to someone we love.

This cold spell has changed my going ‘out and about’ habits.   I can’t go out biking, as

St Monans.

often as I’d like;  I enjoy the fresh air, but the temperature of it agitates the breathing tubes.    I’ve had an enjoyable and busy day today and will go to bed a tired but contented ‘boy’.

The weather for tomorrow is ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’;  much the same as today.     It may become cloudier later in the  afternoon.

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
