Bright, breezy and cool ....

21st October 2021 (Thursday)   09.00 .... It’s a beautiful morning;  with the

St Monans.

wind being from the NNW it’s cooler, but, wrapped up its ‘braw oot’.   Last night I worked late on the computer.... and  slept in this morning (07.30), so  I haven’t been further than the front gate .... but, will go out after breakfast.   It  looks like being another good drying day.... albeit a cold one.  

19.00   After I picked up the paper I decided on a change of harbours....and went to St Monans.     A couple of men were working on their yachts on the pier (Crane Out’ also took place there this week).     One of them had sailed their yacht, from Milford Haven (SW corner of Wales) to St Monans.   The journey was done in stages as he was working in between stops, so it took a few weeks.   I was half way out on the middle pier when the camera battery ran out;  and the camera bag, with spare batteries, was in the car.

'Four Winds' building site.

Myra invited Kirstie, Geoff and me for lunch, so I didn’t have to worry about food.   Geoff couldn’t manage so there was only the three of us.... and a load of very tasty food.    There was an empty platter when we finished.... and three very satisfied puku’s.    I’d biked up to Myra’s so when I left I went straight up to Chapel Green, to get a photo of the ‘thing’ that arrived in the Firth this morrrrrrrrning.    It was windy and not too warm so I didn’t stay long;  just long enough to get some ‘instructions’ from Maggie. 

21.00    Today has been an enjoyable day;  it was great catching up with Kirstie and Myra.   I meant to phone Geoff in the afternoon but ended up on the computer.   When I start writing I get absorbed in it;   if I stop it can’t be for more than ten minutes;  more than that and I lose the ‘mood’;  and might as well go out on the bike.  

It’s going to be colder tomorrow, and there’s to be a brisk wind from the Northwest so


wind chill will be a factor:  a wrap up well day.   There will be long sunny intervals, but there’s a slight chance of showers in the afternoon:  by that time I’ll be ensconced in front of the computer.

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
