Overcast and warm (ish) ....

13th February 2022 (Sunday)      07.00 ....’Blob’ is bright as a button this

Ferry Road.

morning .... he twittering happily, from this perch  on top of the Rowan tree.    I’m feeling bright this morning too, but won’t climb the Rowan tree to let everyone know it.    It’s a quiet morning, (well....  it would be if Blob wasn’t so happy), with only a light breeze.... and, though overcast, it is dry;  and .... not cold.   Heavy rain is supposed to come our way about midday.   I’ll loup into the car in a wee while and go for the paper.  Ye Gods .... I feel frisky this morning. 

10.00    A menacing looking grey sky, like the one we have today, is perfect doing a shopping;   so I went to ‘The Store’ after I picked up the paper.   I didn’t really need much, but fancied a wander round the aisles:  and ended up having an enjoyable half hour of retail therapy.   I came home by the Kellie Castle road, to miss the traffic lights in Pittenweem.... and decided to fuel up the car at Colinsburgh.   So I have had a fairly busy morning.  A stroll to the beach, after morning coffee, might be the next move .... if it isn’t raining.

11.00    It was.... raining i.e.    So I didn’t go to the beach.    It is a classic ‘dreich’ day now;  I am glad that I did the shopping earlier:  And I won’t be going out until sunny spells arrive.    The messages have been put away in the appropriate places;  and I switched the kettle ‘on’;  so it’s ‘morning tea’ time now.



















17.00    I can say that this has been one of the most restful days I have ever had; it is one of the few days that I never went out with the camera.  No that’s not true;  I went out to Ferry Road to take a ‘weather photograph’.   Most of my day was spent assisting Barnaby and Jones in Midsomer Murders.    Would you believe it.... it has been one of those days when I’d have been happy to fall asleep in front of the tele.... but didn’t.   I have done a bit of work the computer, but even there I couldn’t get fired up.    The ‘gless’ (barometer) has been ‘falling’ all day so that might account for my lack of ‘get up and go’:  it has steadied at 985 so should begin to rise soon;  and I am starting to feel mair excitable again.

22.00    Welll .... it has been a dreich day.... and it looks like it’s going to rain right through until tomorrow morning.    Tomorrow is supposed to be ‘showery with a moderate breeze’....  so.. we should have sunny spells between the showers.

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
