Jabs ....

23rd October 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... Myra dropped me off just a few

Kinneuchar - yesterday.

minutes ago, having been to Anstruther for our ‘jabs’.:  the kettle is ‘on’ and I am well ready for breakfast.    Myra did invite me up for coffee, but I thought I’d better have breakfast before my morning caffeine fix.     

We arrive early at Anstruther, and were first in the queue;  in fact the door wasn’t ‘open’ when we got there (8 minutes early);  but it was a smooth running operation when we did get in..... I was 20 minutes before ‘my time slot’, but was taken straight away.     After the ‘jabs’ we had to sit for 15 minutes in case of anaphylactic shock.   Everyone gets bits of paper to read re the ‘jabs’ so I’ll make the coffee and see what the ‘rools’ say.

Kinneuchar.

17.30    Wellll .... I haven’t been out, other than for the jabs first thing this morning:   but I have worked in the kitchen, making ready meals for the freezer.   After lunch (chicken casserole) I felt tired, and hot, so lay down on top of the bed and fell sound asleep for a couple of hours;  now I feel fine.... but I won’t bother getting the bike out today.   The nurse did say, feeling feverish and tired were common side effects.   One of the other side effects is “you won’t feel like going out with a camera”.... I haven’t taken a photo today.... not even of that new ‘Thing’ I saw from the front gate.    I think it’s called a jack up platform.

I forgot... I did go out:  I took the car up to the Chemist to pick up a prescription, but didn’t go to the harbour, because the casserole was in the oven.  The ‘plan’ for the rest of the day?.... a bit of work on the computer and browse the tele channels, hoping to find something worth watching.

21.00    I was hoping to go for the paper on the bike tomorrow morrrrrrrning, but it


could be wet according the weather forecast .... ‘a chance of precipitation’ overnight and tomorrow morning.    Any dampness is going to slowly fade away by lunch time.... might have to have a late lunch.   This has been a quiet ‘rest day’: tomorrow will be much the same.   I plan to work on the computer,  and go out on the bike whenever the weather looks good.   I suppose that depends on how I feel (after the jabs);  so far I feel fine, and hope to be the same tomorrow.

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
