Overcast ....

2nd February 2022 (Wednesday)      07.00 .... the wind is F4 out in the Firth


just now, and, though cloudy (I can’t see any stars)  but is it dry, and not very cold.   Light rain is mentioned in our forecast, but I am thinking of the ‘sunny spells’ in between any light showers that might creep our way.   I will get the bike out, and go for the paper at 07.30. 

09.15    I’ve been ‘roond the villages’ on the bike;  and , my word, I am a happy boy.   I think I’ll get ready to go to St Monans (in the car) and do the Narrow Wynd, and harbour walk.    The bike battery is 'on charge' and I hope to get out later;  weather permitting.

15.00    We had a few sunny spells in the morning, but, since lunch time the sky has clouded over and there’s a threat of drizzle now and again.   The bike battery is fully charged, but I won’t be going out on it again today.   Apart from the weather being iffy, I had had a migraine (weather) so, will have a cuppa and a couple of pills , then find something on the tele to watch... and fall asleep.

Unusually quiet bottom of Station Road.

I went to St Monans, but, by the time I got half way up Station Road, and could see the walkers, they were getting ready to set off.    I did the Narrow Wynd walk as planned;  the coffee I’d made to take with me had been left in Ivy, so I bumbled my way home and had it (the coffee) there.



21.00    Hmmmmm ..... I’ve got a bike with a fully charged battery, but it looks like Friday will be the better day to go up to Kinneuchar etc.    Tomorrow is going to be windy with light cloud....with strong winds in the afternoon.  

I’ve had an enjoyable day today;  apart from the migraine, which slowed me down in the afternoon:  as predicted above, I fell asleep, and it took a while for me to get going after I woke up.  I’ve had a ‘rest afternoon’ after a really agreeable morning.

Tomorrow?    As usual, my activities all revolve around what the weather is doing, so the


wind will hamper me going ‘out to play’ on the bike.    Today I was wearing the safety helmet, and high visibility vest that I got for Christmas (he’s a clever laud is Santa):  the helmet fits perfectly .... and I can wear a woollen hat below it to keep the brain warm.   The woollen hat is a ‘must have’.

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
