Dust free morning ....

12th November 2021 (Friday)  10.30 .... It was raining heavily when I went

Cheddar Gorge.

for the paper about 07.00, but it is dry just now ..... though the Western looks threatening.   At least we have breaks in the clouds now.... and sunny spells are forecast for later so it is not all doom and gloom.   I might have a wander down to the beach after breakfast.

 Here’s an example of what I have to put up with being ‘me’:  When I was having a shower this morning (06.00) I couldn’t understand what was wrong with the non slip mat in the bath;   it was upside down and the wee sookers were sticking to my feet.   It felt like I was being attacked by a flat octopus.    

Oh ....the haircut plan has been put off until next week when the sun will be shining;   that way I won’t need another haircut until after New Year.   It’s morrrrrrrning coffee time.

16.30    I haven’t been out since I went for the paper this morning, but I have been busy enough around the house.... and on the computer, so I’ve had a satisfactory kind of day;  but not a ‘play day’.  

Slight moan    I’ve been keeping an eye on the  news from Glasgow;  COP26 has been, more or less, as Greta Thunberg predicted....“Blah blah blah”, just like the previous 25 COP’s.   It’s not really surprising that the planet is in trouble .... Mother Earth is having to contend with a plague of ‘human locusts’ , apparently quite prepared to destroy anything for personal gain;   including the atmosphere that made life possible on planet Earth.   It’s a sad state of affairs.    Moan over.

20.00    Wellll .... it has been  a funny old day;  especially the weather.    I’m contented

Cheddar Gorge.

enough with what I have done today but I’m looking forward to a sunnier day tomorrow:  Sunny intervals with a light wind is the forecast.... so we should get out and about.   I never even went  out with the camera today, though I thought about it in the middle of the day, when that ‘nearly sunny spell was over us’.    I’ll make up for it tomorrow.   In the meantime I’ll unearth a couple of older photos for today’s ‘news’.

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
