Bright, breezy and cool ....

21st February 2022 (Monday)      08.30 .... It’s a ‘bright and breezy,


morning, and the weather forecast is good for the whole day... albeit, breezy and cool... and I’ve been for, and remembered to pick up, the paper;  visited the harbour and Kinneuchar.   There’s a brisk breeze blowin’ and it’s cool when exposed to it.

I had a ‘funny’ night last night;  something went up Ferry Road at 02.45 and I didn’t get back to sleep until nearly 04.00.... after doing a crossword and a Soduko.   I’d been up at 02.00 for a ‘comfort break’, and had just fallen asleep.   Oh well.... there’s a good chance of me falling asleep in front of the tele today.

17.00    Nothing will wake me up tonight;   I’ve been out on the bike twice;  on what is a really beautiful day;  it has been 11C in the garden..    The first time I did the ‘tour of the villages’, and would have done Elie Estate but the battery was low.   I went back to Ivy and put the battery on charge..... felling really good after biking.    There was a bit of wind, but I have a pair of over glasses that protect the eyes from the wind, so the wind is no longer a problem:  Unless it’s above F4.  


The second time I went out I only went to Chapel Green;  by the time the battery had charged it was 15.30 and the air was beginning to cool.   It was enjoyable nonetheless.   If the weather is good tomorrow I will do Elie Estate;  it is going to be slightly windier tomorrow, with the chance of light showers, so I should get through the estate after lunch, when the air is at it’s warmest.


22.30    I don’t think I’ll have a problem sleeping tonight;  I am absolutely shattered.    Tomorrow is going to be another day when I should get out on the bike... after that we are in for more wind.    Tomorrow is going to be windy, but only about F4-5.   The ‘plan’ is to see how muddy the Elie Estate road looks and if not too bad I’ll do the Estate run.  


I’ve had my chocolate.... and I don’t think I’ll be reading my book in bed tonight.

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
