Overcast and breezy ....

26th February 2022 (Saturday)      08.30 .... I expected to be stiff and sore


after yesterday’s work efforts, but I’m feeling, surprisingly, good.    I went to the beach at sunrise time:  I knew there was never going to be a visible sunrise, but I love the magical feeling, when I crest the dunes at the bottom of Ferry Wynd and the vista open up before me.... that’s always worth getting up early for.     There is a brisk breeze, and it is forecast to freshen with high tide, but it’s never going to be as windy as what we had a few days ago. 



16.30     Mmmmm.... this has been a good ‘rest day’  but watching Scotland lose 17 – 36 at Murrayfield wasn’t very ‘calming’.... however, it was  an entertaining game, and an enjoyable’ way to spend a bit of the afternoon.  England v Wales is on at 16.45.     Time for a walk to the beach... or a cuppa?   Beach then cuppa. 


21.30   It’s cold tonight, but the forecast for tomorrow is ‘sunny with a fresh breeze’.    So a nice enough day but it will be cool.

I’ve had a ‘lazy’ day mostly.   I ironed yesterdays washing, but didn’t do anything in the garden etc.  My efforts, in the garden yesterday, caught up with me when I was helping Poirot solve a crime;  however we were both successful in our separate endeavours.   Poirot solved the crime and I woke up refreshed, after a long cat nap.  If I’m fully recovered tomorrow, I have a fully charged battery on the bike, so....if it isn’t too cold and windy, I might go for longer run on the bike.

I got my blood test result today and I don’t have to go back for six months, (instead of three months).  A whole six months without Fudge Doughnuts!   I might have to make a special trip to Cupar. 

The ‘plan’ is to go for the paper early tomorrow morrrrrrrning, have a bumble to the


beach, then, over breakfast, make my mind up as to whether I’ll go out on the bike once I see how the weather is settling down.   I’m thinkin’ it’s time for the hot chocolate, and a quick look at the ‘News’ (depressing) then orf to bed.

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
