Light showers ....

 

7th August 2021 (Saturday)     09.00 .... Cloudy, with occasional light showers,


so far this morning:  sunny spells (with light showers) from midday.   How ‘nice’ the day we get, depends on just how frequent the light showers are.  I’ll do computer ‘stuff’ in the morning, and get some exercise after lunch.   I am treating Janice and Michael to lunch at the Ship Inn..... without me for a change... though I hope to get photographs was they’re walking home.  

17.30    Michael and Janice enjoyed lunch at The Ship Inn... and I did get along to The Terrace in time to get a few photographs.   I was thinking about going to the harbour but the street was busy with traffic so I came home by way of the Estate.   Janice and I both did  a washing today but it isn’t a good ‘drying day’;  in fact Janice rescued the towels I’d hung out, when she noticed that it looked like a heavy shower was coming over, and went out to bring in her washing.   I see that the weather warning for heavy thundery showers has been extended to cover the whole of Sunday:  this weather doesn’t agree with me.... I’ve been feeling sluggish all day.


20.00    The Scottish Women’s Open is being played over Dumbarnie Links next week (12th to 15th) and it is being televised on Sky;  so that takes care of this boy’s  viewing for those dates.   Let’s hope the weather is more settled that in has been for this weekend.

Neil and Ken are doing their marathon run tomorrow;  to raise funds for maintaining and enhancing the villages.  The boys are setting off at 06.00, and I intend being there to see them off, and plan to meet them at various points en route to record their run.   The weather forecast is ‘mixed’, with a ‘chance of precipitation’ in the morning, and a ‘good chance of heavy showers’ in the afternoon.   They will be finished long before the ‘heavy showers’.    How I get on with my ‘plan’ depends on the frequency and intensity of the showers.

I’ve had a ‘funny’ day;  feeling sluggish, but getting things done.... I’m blaming the


weather.   The ‘plan’ is to go to bed early and be frisky as a lamb in the morrrrrning.

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
