Bright and breezy .... (weather too)

1st February 2022 (Tuesday)     10.00 .... If it wasn’t for the wind we would


have a bonnie Spring like day.... as it is we have the wind, and the wind chill that it brings with it unfortunately.   That said it is a bonnie, if breezy, day.

I have been to the beach and will go for the paper later.... probably in the car because I need bread.   I think I’ll  have ‘morrrrrning coffee’ now;  then see what the wind is doing... at the moment it is F7 on Largo Bay.


13.30    The wind is still at F7 – 8 so it’s doubtful if I’ll get out on the bike today:  however the wind will start to to moderate soon, and we should have a quiet night.   It is to be less windy tomorrow.   I’m going to check the bike tyre pressures after lunch.... and I might just be brave enough to potter round ‘The Ferry on a trial run.
I have been up to Elie (in the car) and got the paper and bread:  and went to the harbour for a short visit.   It is blowy down there;  which is why I didn’t hang about, and came home;  via Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.


18.30    The wind has quietened down, but I never got out on the bike.  Tomorrow is going to be cloudy with moderate winds.... and the ‘a chance of precipitation’ later in the morrrrrrrning.... so I plan to go for the paper fairly early.  The bike is ready to go .... and so am I.






20.30    I’ve had a quiet day;  and it looks like I’ll be having another quiet one tomorrow;  there’s  chance of precipitation all day.   That suggests the cloud is going to be with us all day.   Of course we could get lucky and have ‘sunny spells’.   Yep;  I think I fancy sunny spells tomorrow.    I had a tentative plan to go to St Monans in the morning, and do the ‘Narrow Wynd’ walk again;  this time with a fully charged battery in the camera;  so bring on the sunny spells.

Elizabeth came round today delivering an update on the kirk services; and the other


activities organised by East Neuk Trinity Church.   The kirk services are going to be  in the local kirks form Sunday 6th February.     The services will be available online, but whether that will be ‘live’ or on YouTube I’m not sure.    Actually ‘Online’ suits me best:  I can have coffee/tea,....  and don’t have to worry about  my singing.

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
