Warm but breezier ....

17th July 2021 (Saturday)   06.30 ....another hot day ahead, but it is breezier so



the hot air is moving.... like a fan assisted oven:   just now the garden thermometer is at 16C ....and is forecast to get up to 24C in the afternoon.;  it’s going to be breezier so it should feel cool.   There’s a bit of cloud around this morning so between the cloud and the breeze, the air is comfortably cool.   I plan to go to the shops after 09.00, as I have a prescription to pick up.

11.30   It is a beautiful day.... and much more comfortable in the fresh breeze.   I’ve been to Elie to pick up my prescription;  there was a queue at the ‘paper shop’ so I thought I’d do the harbour first then get the paper on the way back:  I don’t have a paper today.

There was much going on at the harbour, and on the golf course so I took a few photographs:  I shall now have a coffee before finding out what time  Stage 20 of le Tour is on the tele;  today stage is a Time Trial.... so not the most exciting viewing;  not until the last half hour anyway.


18.30   26C in the garden today;  I am beginning to like this summer weather.... even though I stay in during the hottest part of the day.  Today I had the penultimate stage of the Tour to keep an eye on.... falling asleep intermittently as I had a migraine (this is good migraine weather) but I did stay awake for the last half hour.

I am now full alert, and I feel like lopping something;   I’ll have a cuppa and hope that the desire to do something, as serious as lopping, will wear off.

21.00    Even though there’s a frisky wind the air is still warm with the temperature sitting at 21C:  that is too hot to do any lopping.    I did a bit of pruning instead:  a single rose heid, that was past its best.   Strenuous I am not keen on now.                                                                                                                                                                         It’s going to be another warm day tomorrow.... ‘light cloud with a gentle breeze’ is the

6th green.

forecast, so the sun might not be as strong as it was today.   I’m thinkin’ I might have a night cap to help me sleep on what is likely to be another hot night.

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
