Bright and breezy .....

13th March 2022 (Sunday)    08.45 ... the sky was overcast when I went for


the paper but sunny spells are coming over, from the southwest, so it’s going to be a bonnie....’bright, breezy and cool’  afternoon.   I’m feeling ‘bright and breezy’ too and might get the bike out once the temperature gets up a bit;  at the moment my breathing is fine.   I don’t know what was in the air yesterday but it didn’t agree with my breathing tubes.  I think I need another cuppa.




19.30    We’ve had a bonnie, slightly breezy day.... and warm out of the wind.    I’ve had no problem with my asthma today so went up to Chapel Green (on the bike) and down to the beach later in the afternoon.   I met a couple from Peebles at Chapel Green... and enjoyed chatting to them.  Actually Chapel Green was busy with walkers this afternoon.   I think the villages, and the whole of the East Neuk, is in for a busy summer;  and The Open is at St Andrews so July will be extremely busy.   Let’s hope we have decent summer weather this year.

Hector and Carol (from Peebles).

You will all be glad to know that I haven’t been up at the Pony Field today so won’t bother you with any ROC stuff tonight.   I’m going to write all up and bung it onto ‘The Hutte’.  Being part of the UKWMO (United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation) was  interesting.

Tomorrow looks like being bright and breezy in the morrrrning, then cloudier, with light rain showers, in the afternoon.   I’ll go out first thing... but I won’t be going far as the bike battery is still at ‘low’.   I’ll charge it up in the afternoon.

22.30    I’ve been watching Joanna Lumley  (and crew) wandering along the Silk Road, and then on to Haiti and Cube.   Joanna makes a travel interesting;  she seems to like looking at the kind of things I’d look at in those far off places.   At the end of the programme she said “no matter where we’ve been all the people are the same;  they have the  same worries, the same longing to bring up a family in safety, and to enjoy


being alive”.   That’s the gist of what she said.   It’s a pity politicians, both Left and Right, didn’t think like that, instead of dreaming of ‘world domination’ .... and creating havoc and misery for ordinary people who just want to live peacefully.  Joanna is on later this week doing Cities of the World;  that’s a must watch.   It’s chocolate time.

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

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
