Bright, and sunny ....

19th February 2022 (Saturday)    12.00 .... My word .... Men’s Curling final


made fantastic viewing;  the result wasn’t exactly how I’d have liked it.... but to watch two teams of skilful players, trying to outthink and outplay each other... both teams playing some amazing stones .... was really ‘out of this world’ stuff.   I have no nails left to chew on for the Girls Final tomorrow (at 13.05).    The ‘Boys’ did us proud coming away with their Silver Medal.... and, it was so nearly Gold.  They lost 5 – 4 to Sweden, after an extra end... and an extraordinary match.   

We have a gorgeous day here; it’s, cold and there’s frisky breeze blowin’ so there’s wind chill.   I went to the beach first thing.... and might go out again later, but right now I am well ready for food.

18.30     It has been a beautiful day;  and the wind that was forecast for late this afternoon and tonight,  is now forecast to arrive early tomorrow.   I nearly got the bike out today.   I set off for Crail in the car after lunch, then remembered it was Saturday so


Crail would be busy;  I ended up at Kinneuchar.   It was when I got back home that I thought of going out on the bike.   Thinking about it was as far as that got;   I ended up having a cuppa and falling asleep in front of the tele.   

22.00    Tomorrow we have the Women’s curling Final (01.05), after that I can start to relax,  and my excitement levels get back down to normal.   I should also get back to my usual activities.   Although there’s hardly a breath of wind just now (I’ve been out at the bucket) we should  have a brisk wind, F4 – 6, for most of tomorrow.   I think I might have a day pottering around the garden; there’s a lot needing to be done.... and doing it is not as easy as it used to be.   Actually we could have light rain showers, and


that could put a damper on the pottering; but, there might be bonnie clouds.   It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good.

It’s chocolate time;  I’ve had an exciting day, and a tiring one.... though I can’t think why.   There must be a change of weather coming our way.

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
