Showery morning ....

11th June 2021 (Friday)    09.00 ....we a showery start to the day, but the

Lower Largo.

showers (we have caught the edge of a couple) are forecast to die away by midday;  this will be very useful .... because I have a washing to hang out.

I went for the paper in the car, and instead of going to the harbour, I went to ‘the Store’ to do a wee shopping, and enjoy a wander up and down the aisles.   The ‘plan’ is to go out on the bike, once the threat of showers becomes minimal.   I am now ready for breakfast.

14.30    There’s a frisky wind, which is good for drying the washing, but not so good for going out on the bike:  I think I shall relocate to the Hutte and do a Soduko.   We still have a some threatening looking clouds around so, not only will I do a Soduko, I’ll keep an eye on the weather so that I can ‘save’ the washing if a shower  does come our way:  that’s the sort of ‘work’ I feel like doing, and it would alleviate the stress of having to  worry about the washing.   Yes that’s the sort of job I fancy doing:  orf to make a cuppa, then take up residence in The Hutte.

Shell Bay.

20.00    It has been cooler today... probably because of the brisk wind, and I never got the bike out.    I have a full battery (on the bike) for tomorrow.... and it’s going to be less windy so I might go somewhere different.    Ferry Road has been busy with vehicles so it looks like the East Neuk is in for a busy weekend.    ‘The Store’ was busier than usual this morning, and that was at 07.15.   I think it is now ‘safe’ to go shopping at normal times, but I have got into the habit of going to ‘The Store’ at that time:  It does leave the remainder of the day ‘free’.

I see that the wind has moderated a bit and we have a bonnie evening.... I might venture out for short walk later.

The weather forecast for the next couple of days is good.... mostly sunny, warm and breezy.   The real heat is going to be down south  (sunny Sussex) where temperatures in the higher 20’s might be recorded.   We are going to be in the high teens or low 20’s;   comfortably warm.

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

 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
