Windy ....

28th January 2022 (Friday)      10.00 ....it’s overcast and windy this morning,


and the wind is going to freshen later today;   tomorrow it’s going to be really frisky... up to F9.   Not good.     It is actually warm for the time of year, though wind chill will be a factor.  A couple of computer days ahead for ‘The Boy’. 





21.30    It has been a strange day as far as the weather went: overcast and windy as forecast, with an ominous look to it.   Not a day that had me wanting to go out.   So I didn’t.   Luckily I was expecting a visitor, Nicola, and she arrived bang on time ....so I had someone to talk too.  We were talking about photographs.... and the villages in general.    As usual I talked too much but I certainly enjoyed our chat....  a positive ray of sunshine on a grey day,  thus doubly enjoyable.   Nicola had brought a pan of homemade soup;  my word it was delicious.   I used to make soup in the winter time; and I must get back into that habit again.     Homemade is much tastier than the shop bought.  Thank you Nicola;  for the soup, and being a good listener.

Most of the afternoon I worked on the computer browsing , and sorting photographs.   The team working at Ferry Corner made a load of progress today;  I don’t know if they will be back tomorrow, to finish off and get the road system back to normal.  

Erosion damage at the harbour.

The delivery I was expecting (hand-warmers) arrived today so I can relax.   They were down to be delivered on Monday;  which had me slightly worried, as I have an appointment at the Adamson (Cupar) then.... a blood test.

Today has been windy, but the wind is going to freshen overnight, and tomorrow is going to be wild, but brighter.    Strong winds and sunny intervals is the forecast;  another compute day.   I’ll go for the paper and go down to the harbour.   With sunny intervals in the forecast, tomorrow will be a more camera friendly day.

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
