Light frost ....

10th December 2021 (Friday)     12..30 .... there was frost on the


car windscreen first thing so I didn’t go for the paper until mid morning;  scraping the windscreen has never been one of my favourite jobs.   I did have a walk on the beach at sunrise time, though there was never going to be a visible sunrise;  nevertheless I enjoyed the walk.

When I eventually went for the paper, I had to visit the harbour, even knowing it would be cold down there.  By this time it was a lovely morning, and there was warmth in the sun, but the light breeze took a couple of degrees off the warmth.   I didn’t linger, and came home by way of Ardross Farm Shop, Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.


19.00    It has been a bonnie day, but a cool one.   I have done some work around Ivy.... including the ironing, and finishing writing the Christmas cards that have to be posted.    Jings .... it disnae take much to make me tired nowadays.   What I have done today hasn’t been that tiring, but I am well ready to settle down in front of the tele with my mug of chocolate.

I have still to have a practice shot at a Lateral Flow test;  I must do that tomorrow.   I’d do it now but I’m too tired and my brain is in rest mode.   Nothing new there;  it’s in rest mode most of the time.    Oh I must tell you.   I have a book of 200 Hard Soduko puzzles, with every 20th one being Super Hard.   I’ve been leaving them  (the SH ones) because they require a different kind of thinking.   Anyway today I decided to do one of them.... and I found the key (which will be much the same on all the SH ones).   I am a happy bunny. 

The weather forecast for KY9 tomorrow is;  ‘light rain and a moderate breeze’ .... which


explains the raw feel to the air when I was out at the bucket a few minutes ago.   If that is how it turns out I should catch up with sorting all the photographs I have taken recently;  and finish writing local Christmas cards.

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
