Damp .....

10th January 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... It’s an overcast and damp start to


the day, though not actually raining;  having said that,  sunrise isn’t until 08.39 so it’s dark right now, with the street lights, and the occasional car brightening things up.   There’s an increasing chance of  ‘light rain and a fresh breeze’ as the day progresses,.... but mostly for the West of Fife.   Right now it’s just dark, damp and windless at Elie and Earlsferry.

09.30     I’ve been to the beach, and caught a nice ‘red sky in the morning etc’ sunrise.    There is the threat of light rain, and there’s a mauchless feel to the air;  not as bad as the other day, and it should improve when/if the wind freshens.   I’m not sure about going to Kinneuchar;  I'll have a cuppa then see what the weather is doing.


16.30    After a generally grey day, the afternoon ended brightly; there was a bit of red in it so a bonnie day ahead tomorrow.  Actually tomorrow could be a good drying day;  the forecast is for ‘wall to wall sunshine with a moderate breeze’.  That’s not exactly how the weather forecasters put it, but it’s going to be bright and sunny.  

I went to Kinneuchar for the kirk walk at 10.00,  though I didn’t do the actual walk;  however I think I’ll do the walk on Wednesday (St Minnins), because they are  short, comfortable speed walks.... and I might be able to cope with that.  That said, as soon as I get to the harbour at St Minnins I’ll be sidetracked, and end up going out on the middle pier.

There has been a touch of ‘mauchless’ this afternoon, so I didn’t go out; choosing instead to assist Sherlock Holmes.   I missed the end (nae surprise there), but feel refreshed after a braw cat-nap.

21.30    I’m looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow;  no ‘plan’ as to what I will do, but


I am sure that we will all enjoy the sun.   I might go up to Balcarres and take a walk round the Woodland walk.  On Wednesday I look forward to d doing the ‘St Minnins stroll’ with the kirk group;  ‘strolling’ is my speed nowadays.   When I was young I enjoyed running, now I enjoy strolling;    the speed  might be different, but the enjoyment is the same.   I’m feeling content, and ready for bed.

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
