Showery ....

7th July 2021 (Wednesday)    06.30 ... In spite of the sky being overcast and not


very cheerful looking, I am feeling confident;  so confident that I have a washing going through the machine;  I can see a, not very large, blue hole in the clouds, a sure sign of ‘sunny spells’ to come..... so the washing will going out onto the line,.....  and I will be going out on the bike.  Showers, possibly heavy ones, are forecast for the afternoon.

10.30     The computer decided to install a muckle update so this is the first of me getting back on;   I did ‘fire up’ the laptop but is working slowly so I assume that it is working on the same update.    Anyway;  the sun has finally broken through .... and the washing might dry, having had another light rinse after I hung it out. 



Stage 11 of the tour is on TV from 12.00 through to 17.00.... that’s because it involves 5 climbs the last two climbs being up Mt Ventoux (1910m) from two sides with a descent and 33 km before the start of the second climb....not something I would want to do.   But it will make interesting viewing.

21.00    We’ve been lucky today;  none of the showers touched us although you could see them all around.   In fact it was a lovely, warm afternoon.... and evening.

Jo came along in the afternoon so we completed ‘catching up on each other’s news’.... Jo is going back home tomorrow.... and had a mug of my lovely coffee.   Actually I cheated, and made us Kenco cappuccino, which even I can’t make a mess of, it’s foolproof.... and tasty.

I went to Chapel Green in the evening and.... just sat back and enjoyed the calm... it was bliss.  I met, and insulted a Hungarian Vizsla dog;    I asked if it was a ‘mix’.   The dog will never ‘speak’ to me again.

There was a St Monans couple out with their dog so I caught up with the St Monans news:   it has been a good day for catching up with news.  And this turned out to be a ‘good day’ for doing the washing.... it dried:  that


reminds me I have an ironing to do.    And I also have the bike battery charger to disconnect.

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
