Interesting sky ....

26th April 2022 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... there’s been some rain overnight;  in


fact it was raining at 05.30 so I went back to bed,.... and eventually got ‘up’ at 06.30.   It’s a bonnie morning now, though there are some shower clouds around;  but they make the sky interesting....as long as they are ‘over there and not here’.   At the moment they look a bit too near ‘here’ for my likin’.  The light wind is mostly from the NNE this morning... and cool.

11.00    ‘The Boy’ has been busy.   With the sky being mostly overcast,.... and spits and spots o’ rain, I decided to go to Leven to do some shopping.   The roads were busy (they mostly always are nowadays- compared to pre COVID).... but the mission was accomplished in ‘nae time’.    Both the shops I visited were quiet.   The ‘Master Plan’ for the remainder of the day is to have a walk to the beach .... after morrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee and if there’s nae spits and spots o’ rain.    We should have sunny spells in the afternoon.


21.00    We eventually had a brighter afternoon, and I louped intae the car and went for a run to Kinneuchar then Elie harbour.   It was a bonnie enough afternoon but the cold wind agitated the auld breathing tubes;  which is why I didn’t go out on the bike.   The tide was out so I enjoyed a walk among the boats in the harbour.   The harbour was quiet but it was late in the afternoon and folks would be thinking of ‘food’:  it was good seeing the Ship Inn busy.   This summer looks like being normal.....let’s hope we have a warm... even hot one.

I did some ‘ousework today;  in fact most of the day has been spent staying ‘in’, and warm.... and ‘ousework suited that purpose.   No ‘ousework tomorrow...and I don’t have a ‘plan’.   The weather (wind direction) dictates my activities.   I need a change of wind

'EDT Jane' - offshore supply vessel.

direction and I don’t think that’s going to happen until Thursday.   I have an appointment with Laurie (Nurse) on Thursday morning (Blood Test)...and we, Kirsty, Myra, Geoff and Alberto, are going to the ‘Rockies’(Anstruther) for lunch.... so Thursday is a busy day.

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
