Showery ....

24th June 2021 (Thursday)     10.30 .... The paper run had to be aborted before


I reached the harbour due to a shower of rain:  that said, it is a nice day, with long sunny spells.   Showers are due to bubble up in the afternoon.    I am going for a haircut so that will be my mission for today,.... it’s a good kind of day for haircuts.




19.00    Today was the first time I have been in Leven and acted, more or less, nearly ‘old normal’.    I took the car through the car wash (that was the best entertainment of the day by the way) then across the road to ‘The Cheap Shop’ to buy containers for freezing Cottage Pies etc.... before going to the ‘Woollies Car Park’, where I had the coffee and goodie, that I’d bought at ‘arbour ‘ouse.   I did a spot of shopping in the High Street, had another drop of coffee, before going to the Hairdresser.   By this time is was humid and hot;  I remember thinking, “ perfect migraine weather”.      The migraine started just as I got back home;  and that took care of the remainder of the afternoon ‘cos I took a couple of pills and fell fast asleep.


21.30    My word ... we have had a wet evening, and it looks like tomorrow could also have spells of light rain;  which is disappointing because I fancy going to Pettycur harbour in the morning.   That will all depend on how the weather is first thing in the morning... and the forecast for that Post Code isn’t promising.

I’ve had a busy, and enjoyable day (apart from the migraine):  I mentioned the Leven Car Wash earlier.    Today is the first time I have been through it for at least a year;  the set up is the same but the innards have been modernised since I was last through.    The best new bit is at the very end of the process, just after the drying bit.   I saw things dangling (see photograph) and wondered what they did;   well they are absolutely hilarious.   They turned out to be, soft fluffy things, that flop all over the car, presumably polishing the wax (I get the £10 wash which includes some kind of wax):  everything has been very macho and noisy till you reach those dangling things;  then they gently, and quietly, flop about all over the car,   surprisingly pleasant kind of things .... ‘lovable’ even.   I might be taking the car through the car wash more often.  

I’ll have an early night in bed, read a bit more of my book, and have a good night’s sleep

Dangly things in Leven car wash.

after a very satisfying day.    I hope it isn't hot and humid tomorrow again.

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
