Damp and breezy .... ....

26th October 2021 (Tuesday)     08.30 .... ‘Strong winds and rain’ is


the forecast for KY9 this morning, and.... strong winds and rain we have; thankfully, the rain isn’t heavy.... not just now anyway.  It’s a morning for finding something decent to watch on the tele, working, or reading a book.   The rain should move away by early afternoon.... leaving us with the fresh wind to dry the wet roads, and give me a chance to get out.

15.30    I have a funny feeling that the bike won’t be out today:  There has been an improvement in the weather, and the roads are beginning to dry, but we continue to have spells of Scotch Mist type wetness.... so it’s back to the kettle and the computer.     I looked for a decent film to watch, so that I could have a catnap, but couldn’t find anything:  let’s face, the tele is being used as an advertising platform with bits of film between the adverts: encouraging folk to buy stuff they don’t need .... ‘1984’ (George Orwell) is here.


21.00    It hasn’t been the bonniest of days, as far as the weather went;  but.... I did see a few blue patches late in the afternoon.    I’ve had a fruitful day, mostly on the computer;   I did go for the paper in the middle of the morning (by car) but ended up going to the harbour.... and forgetting the paper on the way home.    The harbour was unexpectedly busy with holiday makers;  it wasn’t actually raining at that time, so they were taking advantage of that.... as I was.   The sky was clear along the ‘sooth side’, which had me thinking I’d be out on the bike in the afternoon.

No ‘plans’ for tomorrow, but I might eventually get out on the bike.   The forecast is a bit iffy ....


‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’ .... but brighter, and bonnier, than today.   That said I was happy with the ‘dull day’ photos I got this morning.

There’s a chance that the microwave that I ordered yesterday, could be delivered tomorrow; I’ll have to check the tracker before going out.   I didn’t expect it to be on its way so soon.   I never pay extra for ‘fast’ delivery;  ‘slow’ delivery is fast enough.

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
