Windy and overcast ....

6th November 2021 (Saturday)     10.00 .... It’s a breezy start to what is


going to be a very breezy day, but at least it was dry when I went for the paper.... and got it!    I’ve done the ‘Villages tour’ and although breezy it wasn’t cold.   The wind is forecast to freshen to F8 in the afternoon;  I could bike up to Chapel Green in that kind of wind, but I’ll see how I feel;  I seem to have no after effects from pruning the lilac tree yesterday, though I expect I’ll fall asleep in front of the tele after lunch.    It’s time for morning coffee.


19.00    We’ve had a bit of everything today, wind rain and sunny spells;  the only constant was the wind.... and it was fresh.    I went up to Chapel Green in the afternoon, and took a few photos from the lee of the Chapel.   It was nice enough out of the wind.... almost warm even, but there wisnae much going on.   We had two ‘Things’ sheltering from the wilder waters of the North Sea, and a load of Eider duck sheltering on the water below Chapel Green.    Eider duck are like corks;  they just bob up and doon with the water.


I have been tired today.... as I thought I might be, after working in the garden yesterday.    I have been out twice on the bike today but that’s all the exercise I’ve had:  most of the time I have been ‘lazy’.  I made ‘sausages and mash’ for lunch and that has been the physical ‘work’ part of today.    The computer has been ‘on’ most of the time.... as has the tele.    The tele acts like a sort of lullaby so I have had a few catnaps today.





20.00    The hatches have been battened doon, and I am now going to make the chocolate and browse the tele channels.    ‘Wild Britain’ was on in the afternoon and I found that interesting;  but Saturday evenings are usually rubbish.    I might end up watching a DVD.

The wind is to moderate by tomorrow morning.... though it will still be windy.    We are


forecast to have ‘strong winds and sunny intervals’.... so a bonnier day;   probably like it was this afternoon though not quite as windy.   I have ‘nae plans’ other than go for the paper and have a run round the villages.

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
