Bright, breezy and cold ....

9th February 2022 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... It’s a bonnie morning.... but


cold.   It’s actually a good drying day, so I have a washing out on the line.   The wind is forecast to freshen in the afternoon.

I went to the beach to see the sunrise... although the conditions weren’t there to give us one of those stunning sunrises;  it was much quieter and peaceful looking.   A group of swimmers went into the water, from the Breakwater, my word... I felt cold, and I was sheltering in my cosy nook at the edge of the dunes. 

18.30    It hasn’t been a perfect drying day after all;  we caught the edge of a couple of showers.... fortunately I saw the first shower coming over and I brought it in.    It was nigh on dry.


This has been a ‘lazy’ day for me.    I browsed photos, to send to Graham.... and to Nicola, so that kept me busy for a while.   Then there was sped skating from the Winter Olympics;  even if it has been a ‘lazy’ day I have enjoyed myself.... and I’ll be going on a diet as soon as the Olympics are finished.    

21.00     The St Monans kirk stroll was this morning, and I had planned to go for the before walk blether.... but once again I got engrossed sorting out this morning’s photos and I never went to St Monans today at all.    The wind freshened and it was cold so I settled down in front of the tele and enjoyed the Olympics.  

 It’s going to be cold tonight.... and even colder tomorrow night:  more like the temperatures we should have at this time of year;  and I am not keen on cold spells.   I never even went to Elie for the paper today.... even in the car, and it was too cold and windy for the bike.

We have a frisky wind a just now.... and it is going to get friskier overnight;  up to F8 or


9 by morning.   Hmmm....  that means my visit to the beach tomorrow morning might be off.    That said..... once (and if) I reach the ‘nook’ it can be reasonably sheltered;  even in a gale.    I’ll see how brave I feel.

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
