Breezy .....

16th February 2022 (Wednesday)       06.30 .... It’s windy... and there’s been


overnight rain and we have clouds scuttling over, so the threat of showers is not far away.   I might take a walk to the beach for sunrise.... if it isn’t raining.;  at the moment it’s just two people talking about sport on the tele.... not very interesting.   At last .... the curling is on;  GB v ROC.

15.00     The wind that was forecast  to be with us until evening time, petered out about lunch time and we now have heavy(ish) rain.   Actually the sun is trying hard to break through;  if it does, I might go out on the bike.   No I won’t;  the roads will be wet.  

As is my usual habit now, I leave Ivy to go for the paper and end up at the harbour.   At the harbour I suddenly remember that I’ve forgotten the paper so say to myself....  “I’ll get the paper of the way home”.  I then go home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.   I tell you;  it’s not easy being me.   That’s wrong; it’s easy being me.... coping with me is hard work.


I’m going to put the kettle on, then take a look outside, and contemplate my next move.

16.30    All of a sudden we have wild weather   We had a short sunny spell, rapidly followed by a squally shower that  has just blasted it’s way over, and they(heavy squally showers) are forecast to continue until midnight tonight.   This is the tail-end of Storm Dudley:  on Friday Storm Eunice will bring us more strong winds.  

I’m thinkin’ that there could be an interesting sky soon.... but it’s still raining so I can’t go out.... yet.

20.30    Well we’re having a wild evening, but I did go out after that first squall;  I went


to the beach, and there was, as I thought there would be, an interesting sky:  I got some good cloud photographs of the squall as it moved away Southeast.   It was windy on the beach but not too bad in the lee of the dunes.   We are on the Northern edge of the weather.   Tomorrow we will have the strong winds, but it is going to be sunny .... and feel colder.  And ... there’s a yellow warning for snow on Friday.   Snow usually means bonnie clouds.   As long as the snow is where it should be .... somewhere else.

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
