Overcast and cool ....

29th April 2022 (Friday)     09.00 ....the sky is overcast just now, but the sun


should that off by late morning; I certainly hope it does ‘cos I want to go out on the bike today, and right now it’s too cauld for me biking.   

Super yacht ‘St Nicolas’ is on her way to Leith this morning;  unfortunately there’s low mist, she is white, and moving up the south side o’ the Firth so no photographs of her this morning.   I hope to catch her on the way out.    She was owned by Vasily Anisimov (Russian billionaire) but he sold her in 2017.   I don’t know who is the present owner, but she can be chartered;  which is most likely why she is now heading for Leith.    I wonder who has chartered her?

14.00    After a dullish (and cool) morning we have a lovely, warm afternoon;  yep... I shall take a turn up to Chapel Green;  after a cuppa to waken me up.   Oh dear ... you won’t believe this:  last night I was watching ‘New Tricks’ and it finished at 23.40.... which is late for me.   Well.... I fell asleep and missed the last 10 minutes and don’t know who the guilty party was.... out of three potentials.    I couldn’t get to sleep for trying to work out who it would be!  Now I’ll have to keep checking for that episode coming round again.


I’ve had a lazy morning (had a migraine) but I am feeling sort of frisky now;  orf to make that cuppa.

17.00   I enjoyed two bike runs up to Chapel Green;  the first one without a card in the camera.... the second one with!    What a cracker of an afternoon, the first time I’ve really enjoyed being on the bike for a few weeks.  I had a ‘bug’ four weeks ago ....it didn't seem bad enough to be to be ‘the bug’ so I didn't do a test ... but it’s taking a bit of shaking orf.    Anyway I enjoyed  my outing in warm sunshine, today;  in fact I may take a walk to the beach in the evening.

21.30    I’m going to bed much earlier than I did last night:  I’m not a late night person.    I hope to get out on the bike tomorrow to have a look at the scarecrows dotted


around the villages; however that will depend on the weather.  The forecast isn’t as good as I’d hoped it would be ‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’.

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
