Unsettled ... so is the weather

19th September 2021 (Sunday)  15.00 .... It has been a mixed sort of day so


far, mostly cloudy with the occasional spits and spots o’ rain, but we did have a spell of brighter sunny spell weather around lunch time.   I’ve been making up one bed, and stripping another in anticipation of a good drying  day tomorrow.    Sorting out the beds used to be an easy job but it takes a bit longer now.   I have plenty tea breaks;  and ended up watching ‘Goodbye Mr Chips’  at what ended up as an extended ‘tea break’.    I’ve been for the paper, but didn’t go to the harbour as it was spitting rain at that time.   I’ll get the bike out in the evening.

21.00    Apart from going for the paper I haven’t been further than the front gate;  but I have had a busy day.    I have organised the beds... and the bedding from the single bed in the computer room should be on the line tomorrow.    The weather forecast is good;   ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’, .... no mention of rain.   The downie cover is going through the machine just now and will be on the line first thing in the morning.


As I mentioned earlier, I haven’t been anywhere on the bike;  not even up to Chapel Green.... so I haven’t met anyone to ‘pass the time of day with’.   My ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to get the bedding out, dried and ironed;   and take time out on the bike, though I’ll have to charge the battery first.   

I’m orf to make the bedtime chocolate, and browse the TV Channels before going to bed.   I feel tired and, having probably overdone the ‘work’ today, tomorrow will be more of a rest/play day.

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
