Early morning fog ....

21st April 2022 (Thursday)     08.30 ....The sun will burn back the haar we have


just now and we will have a bonnie day; though there will be a cool breeze off the sea.   

Well I’m feeling brighter this morning;  but I have to say that my second booster jab (the first time I’ve had Pfizer) did have ‘the day after side effects’.   After the previous three jabs I had a slight headache for a couple of hours the next day;  but yesterday I had the headache and my eyeballs were all over the place.   Anyway I’m feeling positive today (and my eyeballs are doing what they should do):  the test will be doing a ‘Diabolical Soduko’.

16.30    I am near enough over the ‘side effects’ of the jab;  I even did a wee bit of weeding.   That said I am tired now but I intend going up to Chapel Green, on the bike, once the work traffic (and there’s a lot o’ that) is off the road.   It has been a nice day; pleasantly warm away from the wind.    I passed the ‘diabolical’ Soduko test, so I am a happy boy:  in fact I did two (they’re from the Daily Telegraph book).   I think I deserve a cuppa before pulling a few more weeds.


21.00   The haar came in again late in the afternoon;  in between the morning and afternoon haar it was lovely.... warm in the garden which is where I spent a fair bit of the afternoon.     I saw the weather forecast for the weekend a few minutes ago and it looks like we’re going to have an onshore breeze most of the rime;  probably means haar morning and evening.  

I had a wander up the street to post my voting paper earlier today;  I like to get that done in plenty of time.    A postal vote was much easier for Maggie, so I got one at the same time.   The beach was quiet but that’s understandable on a cool and breezy morning.

I’m feeling much better tonight but I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.   This East wind restricts my outdoor activities;  however I will go up to Chapel Green at some point .....  but I won’t bother with the coffee.

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
