Another lovely morning ....

20th May 2022  (Friday)  08.30 .... we have another bright and breezy


morning.... and I am in a working playing mood.   I’ve been for the paper and visited the harbour (in the car).... Mr ‘B’ was working on ‘Sundance’: I missed talking to him as I had to go back to the sea wall where I’d been taking photos having left my stick on the wall.

I plan to have a quick trip up to Kinneuchar (with my specs this time) to do a few more measurements.    There’s a chance of showers in the afternoon so I’d better do Kinneuchar in the morrrrrrrrrrrning. 

18.00    The sky clouded over in the afternoon but so far any showers have been somewhere else.     I didn’t go to Kinneuchar today;  I actually ended up doing a spot of ‘gardening’ (the broon bucket is half full of gardening stuff) and making some ready meals for the freezer.   I went up to Chapel Green later in the afternoon; I don’t know what was in the air but my asthma fired up and I was glad to get home.... on the verge of an asthma attack.    However the ‘bloo puffer’ sorted that out and I am fine now.   I honestly don’t know what ‘appened;  my breathing had been fine until about 15.30.   My life changed on 26/27th March (when I caught a virus):  however I do feel that I am on the mend... albeit slowly.   Obviously I’ll have to be more selective as to when I go out.   Luckily I’m not allergic to cuppas.


21.30   I’m looking forward to going to Kinneuchar tomorrow;  this time I’ll remember to take my specs; and I’ll need to buy a couple of scones for morning coffee with Shona.   It’s going to be a nice day.... much like today’s weather in fact;  ‘sunny intervals with a frisky wind’.

I’ve enjoyed today.... even the ‘working’ bit.    With the ‘broon bin’ being half full I can’t do much more in the garden, so tomorrow will be a rest/play day.   I have some measuring to do at Kinneuchar, and a lot of writing up.  

There’s going to be a lot going on around the villages at ‘Jubilee time’:  I hope the weather is good... there will be a load of photo opportunities.

Oh .... I know what brought on the asthma set back this afternoon;   I went out on the


bike and didn’t notice that the temperature had dropped.  A change in temperature is one of the main asthma triggers.   ‘Flap on’.... New Tricks is coming on .... and I need to make a cuppa.

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

 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
