Damp morning ....

25th January 2022 (Tuesday)     263rd Anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns.

 07.30 .... It looks like we’ve had a light shower o’ rain overnight;  the sky is heavily


overcast, but rain isn’t mentioned in the forecast.  The Fife weather cams are different shades of grey just now;  sunrise is at 08.18.   I’ll have a wander to the beach after another cuppa.

08.30    It’s looking rather murky out so the beach ‘mission’ has been cancelled;  it’s more of an ‘ousework kind o’ day.     I’ll do some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ then work in the kitchen.  Actually I’ll start by making rice pudding, as have a load of milk, then do the O and D.   Must ‘go’ slight ‘flap on’ now.

21.00    Going by the sky at sunset tomorrow is going to be a bonnie day.... however the forecast is for ‘cloud with strong winds’.  Funnily enough, even though today was a grey day I actually enjoyed myself.    I did all the things I ‘planned’ to do;  bit of ‘ousework,  made a few ready meals for the freezer.... and went to the harbour (in the car) via the two way system in the Ferry.   I had the harbour to myself until Mr ‘B’ (Steve) appeared, out for his afternoon exercise .... in his car, so he was able to tell me that the temperature was 6.5C:  with wind chill it was colder.  To me every day is a day for the camera;  grey days happen and have to be photographed.

Tomorrow is the St Monans ‘walk’ ... at 10.00.   I might go for a pre walk chat, but won’t do the walk... I am too slow, and stop a lot;  St Monans is camera friendly.   Jings I am boring.   


I have been reading about AI (artificial Intelligence) taking over from humans;  you know... driverless cars, no check outs in supermarkets etc.    One day they (the boffins) might come up with a robotic AI politician;  imagine politicians that only worked for the benefit of the country.   No.... I think I am hallucinatin’: that would never be allowed to happen.

After a happy day I am off to make the chocolate.   Stay safe.

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

 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
