Quiet .....

7th February 2022 (Monday)    07.00 ....I’m back into my routine this


morning;   ‘up’ at 06.00 and ready to go out to ‘play’.   It’s still dark so I can’t.... go out to play.   I am going to go for the paper (in the car) and will take a turn down to the harbour for sunrise time; there’s a touch of cauldness in the air.... hence the car.

09.30    We had a ‘cosy looking’ sunrise sky this morning.... and I had an enjoyable hour at the harbour.    I have still to go for the paper (got excited and forgot about it on the way home);  which I shall do, on the bike, after morrrrrrrning coffee.  Just now we have a light breeze, but the wind is forecast to freshen, up to F6, later in the afternoon.  

16.30    I never did get to Elie for the paper.  I did get the bike out, with the intention of doing a circuit of the villages, but when I got to Chapel Since then we have had a shower o’ rain and the wind has freshened.   Tomorrow is forecast to be a bonnier day.... it might even be a good drying day.


I missed the Kinneuchar walk this morning:  by the time I’d sorted out this morning’s photos it was 10.00, and I was ready for a cuppa.... and looking forward to watch the Winter Olympics.   This morning we had the Women’s 15 kilometre Biathlon (skiing and shooting).  I wouldn't mind having a shot of the rifles they use for the target shooting.   It's a far superior looking piece of kit compared to the 303.   Mind you they aren’t shooting at a target 600 yards away.

19.00    The wind is to moderate overnight, and the rain showers vanish;  and tomorrow’s weather is going to be ‘sunny intervals with a fresh breeze’....I might go out on the bike once the temperature gets going.   It should be reasonably warm for this time of year.  

At the Winter Olympics the  GB Curling Team lost to Norway in the semi finals; it all


came down to the last two stones, with Norway having the last stone;  it was exciting.   They (Team GB) play Sweden for the Bronze Medal tomorrow morning.

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

 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
