Quiet and peaceful ....

8th November 2021 (Monday)   10.00 ....There’s nae wind this morning, so

07.33


all is quiet and peaceful again.   I’ve been ‘roond the villages’ and all is where it should be.... except my paper which is still in the shop.   I’ll go out in the car later and pick it up then:  I’m trying for a whole week of picking up the paper in the morning.... but not necessarily when I’m out first thing.  

The sky is starting to thicken from the West; so the band of rain, mentioned in the weather forecast, could well be lurking out there.   I think it’s coffee time.

12.00    I’ve been for the paper, then on to the ‘Store’ to do some shopping;   I got what I wanted but a lot of the shelves were empty..... crisps etc.    And, this is hard to believe.... no Rich Tea biscuits!....and I like Rich Tea biscuits. 

The sky has clouded over but the light rain has yet to reach us;  however I have things to do on the computer, and maybe even have a catnap.   ‘Puku’ (bless his  shapely 10 pack) is hungry.


20.00    I have ordered SSAFA  Christmas cards, instead of printing off my own this year.   I enjoy doing own cards, but this way the money is going to a charity;  and all charities are dependent on donations.    Catnap? ..... yes I managed to have quiet rest in the middle of the afternoon.  

The predicted rain duly arrived though it wasn’t very heavy, and didn’t last long.   I had a wander down to the beach at sunset time:  the actual going down of the sun wasn’t visible, but it was very peaceful, and the beach was busy with walkers..... and our local swimming group, ‘the ‘Blue Tits’, were enjoying a swim in calm water, rather than the bumpy stuff of the past two days.

Comment.    Someone needs to take Boris aside and tell him that this is no longer Eton


Playgroup politics;  this is the real World, with real people: People who depend on him, and his cronies, acting with integrity;  and, setting a good example wouldn’t go amiss either.    We have a planet to save!     Moan over.   (and ....I feel better).   Apologies to anyone I may have offended, but Boris has upset me.... again.

Tomorrow is going to be a better day.... and I have a fully charged battery on the bike.

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
