Overcast and warm ....

24th July 2021 (Saturday)     07.00 ....   It’s another balmy, misty and warm

Exploring the 'Crookit Skellie' - Earlsferry.

morning with us, on the East coast, depending on the sun burning off the mist to give us a sunny afternoon;  whereas, away from the East coast, it is going to be sunny and hot (too hot) all day.   I haven’t been further than the front gate;  from which point I looked up Ferry Road, doon Ferry Road, and .... decided to have another cuppa.   It’s the weekend, so the villages will be extra busy.   Myra has invited ‘the Troops’ for morning coffee so I’ll do a bit of work, before biking up to Myra’s, to enjoy morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee and ‘a sharing of village news’ at ‘No 3’. 

I think you might find this interesting.... Cycling in Holland – BBC News feature.

10.00   I’ve been keeping an eye on the men’s Olympics Road Race (Cycling)... before watching the final 25 kilometres.   The race, 220 kilometres, was in gruelling, humid and hot conditions:  Richard Carapaz (Ecuador) won Gold, with Silver and Bronze going to a photo finish between Wout Van Ert(Belgium), and Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia).  Exciting stuff.    The Women’s Road race is tomorrow (05.00). Time Trial’s are on Wednesday.   05.00 is a handy time on the TV for me.   I’ll try to watch some of the athletics too... especially the longer distance races.

The ‘boy’ (that’s me) has also been working....  so I am well ready for, and looking forward to morrrrrrrning coffee at Myra’s.

'Sea Queen' - the St Monans skiff.

16.30   I had an enjoyable hour and a half at Myra’s, for morrrrrrrning coffee (except I had tea);  the tea was excellent and the company outstanding.   I talked to much..... but then I always do:  I hope to calm down after I get used to mixing with crowds again.   I met Alison and Georgina, two of Myra’s friends, so there was a lot to talk about.    Since then I have been pottering about in the bedroom.   I extended my feather duster so that I didn’t need to use the steps to do the cornice... and stuff.    I’ll dust the television corner after this update.

As promised (by the weather forecasters) we have a sunny and hot afternoon;  too hot for me to be out in anyway, but I have seen plenty folk making for the beach.... I imagine it, the beach, will be busy.

20.30   It’s a beautiful evening;  and tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day .... with

Hydrangea.

the sun breaking through earlier according to the forecasters.   That’s good .... ‘cos I have a washing to hang out.   Janice and Michael’s  bedroom is nearly finished so I might take some ‘time out’ and have a run round the villages.

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
