Cloudy .....

29th March 2022 (Tuesday)    09.00 ....We have a cloudy sky....with some blue


bits so we could have sunny spells later.   I haven’t been anywhere so far;  I didn’t wake up until 07.30;  06.30 before the clock change so it’s not really a ‘sleep in’.... it’s just my brain cell taking it’s time adjusting  to the new time.   This is the worst of the two time changes for me.   

10.30    I come to the conclusion that I must have had a migraine this morning;  it’s foggy.... and there are no ‘blue bit’s in the sky.  I’ve been for the paper, handed in my prescription and came home by way of Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.  Definitely nae blue bits!    Actually sky was brighter for a wee while at 08.00.... in fact it looked promising.   Must ‘go go go’ this morning;  I’m going to do some ‘ousework:  Not much.... just enough to salve my conscience before I go out on the bike! 


13.30    The sky is starting to brighten up so I might go out in a wee while.   I watched the ‘Celebration of Life’ Memorial Service for Prince Philp, from Westminster Abbey.... which is why I haven’t been out yet: That and the fact that the sky was heavily overcast earlier.     I’ll go out after I finish a cuppa;  and enjoy a scone that Bob insisted that Anne bring round to me because he was full up o’ scones!   You would have enjoyed this scone Bob;  it’s got a thin layer o’ butter and a thick layer o’ blackcurrant jam on it!

22.30    I had a short run out on the bike;  it was short because I forgot to charge to battery yesterday!     It may have been a short trip, only as far as Chapel Green, but there was a lot going on;  the sun was trying hard to break through and it was warm sitting sheltered from the cold breeze.    And it was a cold breeze.

I got a pleasant surprise when I reached the Lundar Law corner;  Fife Council workmen had just finished fixing Jim’s memorial seat in place;  and they had laid the concrete base for another local memorial seat.   I then noticed yacht sailing out by the Beacon;  that was about the last thing I’d expected to see.

On the way home I stopped at the ‘new build’ and took a few photos of the stonework; 


then I got lucky.... the stonemason appeared and I got a photo of him alongside his work.    When the house is finished and the scaffolding gone and  the stonemasons’ work visible, we will all see just how beautiful the stonework is.   That said, there is a part of the original white wall hiding much of the work, when viewed from the road:  I’m hoping that that bit of wall can be removed so that everyone can appreciate the stonemasons’ skill... and the new ‘Chapel Green House’.... or ‘Cliff House’ as it once was.    Whatever it's name it’s going to be an impressive looking house when it’s finished.

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
