Light rain ....

16th March 2022 (Wednesday)    08.00 ....the sky is grey and it started to rain

January 2010.

when I was out at the bucket; but it should be brighter in the afternoon .... so it’s not going to be gloomy all day.   I’m going to work on the computer, taking time out to go for the paper(s).... and take Dod to the surgery.   At the moment it looks like the bike won’t be out today.  

21.30   'Light rain'?.... we had one long heavy spell o' rain that lasted until 14.30 .... then drizzle.   However the sun broke through at 17.30 so we’ll have a bonnie day tomorrow..... going by the sunset.   I’ve had a lazy day... no... not lazy.... inactive is a better word: I fired up one of my older ‘back up’ hard drives and browsed photographs that I hadn’t seen for nearly 15 years.... a lot of photographs = interesting browsing.... and multiple cuppas.

 

Melrose Abbey.

About 16.00 I thought the rain had stopped and I’d have a walk to the beach   but there was light drizzle falling, so I settled for a night of TV and computer.   The only time I’ve been anywhere today was when I took George to the surgery.   The rain was heavy at that time, and I nearly fell asleep listening to the soothing sound of rain the roof of the car. 

The next few days look like being good ‘drying days’;  I’ll set washing the machine up tonight and press the ‘go’ button in the morrrrrrrrrrrning.   Actually Friday might be the better day; it’s to be sunny all day on Friday. 

I am going to take advantage of the weather being good for a few days (assuming it turns


out to be accurate) and get some much needed exercise.   There’s Colinsburgh Lite Bite lunch tomorrow;  I could test myself and know if I was ‘clear’ but there’s no guarantee that everyone will be ‘clear’ so I’m going to keep my head down for another week.   As far as I can see even if you do catch the bug, you won’t necessarily have ‘herd immunity’; some folks are catching it again.   My problem is asthma.

No real plan for tomorrow, though I’ll get up early to go for the paper....if the weather is as forecast.... then charge up the battery to be ready for a longer run on Friday.

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
