Overcast ....

9th March 2022 (Wednesday)     11.30....The sky is overcast and there’s a brisk


southerly breeze, with the chance of showers.    I’ve been for the paper... and checked the harbour;  now I am settling into Ivy for the day.  Apparently COVID is rampant around the villages just now;  two of my friends have it, so most of my activities are ‘on hold’.... however I did a test yesterday evening and it was ‘clear’.   I intended going to the ‘istory Society coffee get ‘thegither’ at the Pav this morrrrning but decided not against that, and concocted a mug of my ‘Finest).  I’ll skip the Hope cafe in the kirk hall tomorrow too. 

I’m orf get a chicken casserole organised for lunch and to make some ‘ready meals’.  Must ‘go’ slight flap on... got an ‘ing-in’ tae peel and chop.

16.00   The kitchen work has been done.... and I ended up with 4 ‘ready meals’ for the freezer.  The dishwasher is ‘on’.... and the kitchen reasonably tidy.    Oh .....I nearly went out on the bike.... but decided that another cuppa would be warmer.    It’s a nice enough day but there is a cool wind, which has freshened since lunch time.  I’ll stay in rest mode.


I’ve been thinking about the COVID pandemic;  auld folk don’t have to worry about ‘long COVID’:  not that that is much comfort ....but it’s one thing less to worry about.  

21.00    It’s warm out there tonight (I’ve just been out at the bucket);  hopefully that’s a good sign for tomorrow.   ‘Light cloud with a moderate breeze is the forecast.... and the temperature could get up to 12C.    I might get out on the bike.   After working in the kitchen I settled down to watch a programme about  Canterbury and Glastonbury and the part they in medieval religion.   It was very interesting, but, as usual I fell asleep .... half way through the Glastonbury part.   I woke up and looked at the clock and thought it was 16.30... then I looked again; it was 17.30.    I’d been sound asleep for over an hour.   I’ll cut down on the work.

My ‘plan’ for COVID is .... to avoid it as much as possible until the warmer weather is


here..... and herd immunity has eliminated the ‘bug’.  The theory is good ....and it is positive thinking.  Plan for tomorrow?   Actually I might tidy up the last bits of clematis still clinging on to the trellis.

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
