Breezy and warm ....

18th November 2021(Thursday)     09.00 .... It’s ‘bright, breezy and warm’


this morning;  a perfect day for me visiting the hairdresser.   I’ve been for the paper, photographed the sunrise, given ‘Blob’ his breakfast;  now I’m ready for mine.    Oh ... I’d better phone the hairdresser to find out in Kirsty is ‘operating’ today.

10.00    My appointment (hairdresser) is at 14.00.   I’ll go to Leven early to do the other things I have planned;  the car through the car wash, then wee shopping’s at the ‘Cheap Shop’ and Sainsbury’s.   I think it is ‘coffee time.

19.00    Everything I wanted to do in Leven has been done; including having my haircut .... I can see my lugs again.    I enjoyed today’s mini adventure, even going to the two shops.   The ‘Bargain Store’ was busy;  I’d arrived at the same time as a batch of mothers with kids (local nursery playgroup?), not one of the mothers was wearing a mask, (didn’t expect the children to wear them) so that made me feel pensive.   However, when I remembered that I’d had the ‘jabs’ I started to enjoy the shopping.   Sainsbury’s was the quieter of the two shops, with everyone I saw wearing a mask.

The 'dangly things' in the car wash.

The most entertaining mission I went on today was going through the car wash;   not the whole car was,.... it’s the dangling things that polish the car, the last action of the car wash sequence, that fascinate me.     It’s like there are a lot big cats whisking the car with their tails; and it’s the soft, floppy way they work.   It’s worth taking the car through the wash just to see them.... and the car is clean when you come out.

When I finished the shopping I had 25 minutes to spare, before my haircut appointment, so I went down the Leven beach.    The tide was in so I didn’t get onto the beach but found a seat and watched the waves.   Wave and cloud watching;  I could easily do that ‘full time’.

21.30    I think I’ll have a wander down to the beach at sunrise time, for a change of


scene.   The tide is out in the morning so there will be a big beach. And, as it’s going to be warm the beach might be a pleasant place to be, even if it is breezy.

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
