Overcast and damp ....

25th May 2021 (Tuesday)      08.30 .... This morning we have an overcast sky

West Bay - Earlsferry.

with the threat of rain.... and there’s a cold northerly breeze:  not the weather and temperature we expect at this time of year.      Sunny spells are forecast, and the air should be warmer, sheltered from the cool breeze.    I hope to get out on the bike once the I see how the weather develops.    Actually what we need is a warm and gentle westerly breeze .... the Zephyr breeze we associate with Spring and Summer.   Zephyros, is the Greek God of the West wind.   I think he needs a poke. 

10.00    I haven’t been for the paper because it’s raining;  I think I’ll ‘work’ until lunch time, and go to the shops in the afternoon.    ‘Work’ is me going through, and shredding the contents of the many ‘Folders’ on the office shelf.   It’s a good day for doing that.... and I should end up with some useful space..... plus a load of empty ‘Folders’.     The afternoon is going to be brighter with fewer showers..... I might even manage to go as far as Barnyards to see how Shona is getting on.    Actually I think she can visit Edinburgh now ((boyfriend) so might be there.

Quiet evening.

21.30     Ye Gods;  when I eventually went out on the bike after, lunch..... I found it unpleasantly cold, so, although I set out to ‘do’ the villages, I only did Chapel Green.   I went back home, put the bike battery on charge... after switching on the kettle..... and settled down to help Poirot and do a bit more shredding;  in fact the grey bin (paper) is almost full so the shredding is ‘on hold’ until after Friday when the paper bin is emptied.

The wind dropped dramatically by evening time;  in fact it was that quiet that I went down to the beach for a late evening meander (I don’t do straight lines).   The beach was fairly busy with folk out enjoying the quiet, after the windy and cold afternoon.   Tomorrow is going to be brighter( although it may be ‘damp’ first thing), with a much lighter wind so it should feel warm, compared to today’s temperature:  the light rain showers will still be around, but you can see showers coming, and take evasive action.   I don’t have a ‘plan’ for

Last of the evening sunshine on the Bass Rock.

tomorrow but I’m sure I’ll find something to do:  I have a few ongoing projects to potter about with.

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
