Light rain ....

19th October 2021 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... It was raining when I went to the


harbour;  not heavy just annoyingly wet.    I have to go up to Elie later (Chemist) so I’ll pick up the paper then.... probably in the car ‘cos we have light rain, on and off.    I’m thinkin’ that it’s going to be a computer day.


18.30  It has been a mixed up kind of day.... but it certainly wasn’t cold.    I went up to Chapel Green, late in the early evening, and was surprised at how many people were wandering around.... on what was a balmy evening;  though we did have a few drops of rain at one time.    The ‘light’ was gorgeous, with the ‘sooth side’ bathed in evening sunshine... so that was well photographed.


I’ve done lot of stuff on the computer and I’m happy with how my day went.... but I am feelin’ tired now.   I’ll have a light dinner and find something to watch on the tele;  and probably fall asleep.    I didn’t have a catnap in the afternoon.

21.00    I did fall asleep in front of the tele;  which was fine ‘cos it was a ‘Heartbeat’ repeat....  mind you it was a few years ago that I last watched it:     probably when ‘Heartbeat’  first came out.... and that wisnae yesterday.   The only that’s happened since then is that I’ve had a migraine;  and that means an early night in bed with my book.    The book I’m readin’ is an all action thriller by Andy McNab.... exciting, but not ‘iggzactly’ conducive to a good night’s sleep.

Tomorrow looks like being be a ‘drying day’..... ‘sunny intervals and fresh breeze’ is forecast;  with no mention of showers.   In fact the next three days are ‘sunny intervals with a frolicsome breeze’.... though Thursday could have showers.   Yep..... I’ll do the washing first thing tomorrow .... get the bike out and go for the paper early.   

I was speaking to Barbara this afternoon;   I hadn’t seen her for a while, but it turned


out that Barbara and Alistair been on holiday, as I had been;  we’d been holidaying on different weeks, which is why I hadn’t seen her recently.

It’s good seeing the villages still busy with visitors;  though the weekends are much busier.  I imagine that the holiday season will slacken off soon.

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
