Not sunny and warm .... ....

5th April 2022 (Tuesday)      07.00.... It is absolutely not a ‘good hair day’!    We


have a ‘wet and windy’ morning;  that said, there’s isn’t a lot of dust in the air so, it would be a great day for biking....or going to the beach;  if it wasn’t ‘wet and windy’.    It’s going to be a computer and drawing day for me.    The wind is forecast to veer round to the Westerly direction later in the afternoon and tomorrow is to be brighter ..... and colder.    ‘Slight flap on’.... yep I need another cuppa.

08.00 .... After having ‘another cuppa’ I louped intae the car and went for the paper, milk and a couple o’ rolls.   I would have gone to the harbour but I discovered that the card in the camera was ‘Full’.... so didn’t.    Go to the harbour i.e.    I’ll have a wander to the beach after the rain moves away.... probably later in the afternoon.... but;  right now it’s breakfast time. 

11.30    The grey sky appears to be slightly paler than it was the last time I went out....however it’s still raining.  My morning has passed quickly; I’ve been drawing, then made myself an egg roll (not as good as the ‘char wallah’ but I’m getting better) to have with morning coffee.   The next move is to make up Iain’s bed;  I need some exercise and I don’t think I’ll be going to the beach today.

19.00     The beach?..... I don’t think the beach would be busy today.    I didn’t go to the beach;  in fact the only times I went out was when I went for the paper  and then to Leven to do a wee shopping in the afternoon:  I went to Sainsbury’s because they sell Somerset Honey (Littleover Apiaries).    Emily and John, my Granddaughter and her husband, (who live in Somerset), have bees and gave me a jar of their honey at Christmas.   Oh my word ....it was something else.  A few weeks ago I was in Sainsbury’s, spotted the Somerset honey and bought a jar.... and liked it.    Hence the trip into Leven on what has been an ‘orrible day for the beach,.... but a good day for shopping.   

This wintry spell has upset my routine.    Today was queer:  My breathing was fine until about 10.00 then the breathing tubes became agitated and I had to use the ‘bloo’ inhaler.   It all calmed down again about 18.00. 

Nae plan for tomorrow, though the weather is forecast to be better.... with the wind from a Westerly direction.   Iain’s been has been made up;  so he has a bed to fall into on Thursday night.   That’s assuming the weather is OK for travelling: there’s snow at Auchnagatt.

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
