Cloudy but warm ....

2nd May 2022 (Monday)    06.30 ....I’d like to say it was ‘bright and sunny’....


but it isn’t;  it’s actually overcast and warm-ish with a light breeze....which is good, but ‘bright and sunny and warm’ was what I had been dreaming about.... however, brighter bits in the general greyness would cheer things up.  Light showers could ‘drop in’ later.  I’ll bumble down to the harbour after another cuppa.

07.00    The wind has freshened since I first looked out an hour ago.... and backed to the SSE (it was SW earlier);  we now have frisky breeze....and it’s ‘not warm-ish’.   The ‘bumble to the harbour plan’ is on hold  and a computer day, with numerous cuppas, more appealing.


11.30   We have light drizzle now so it’s definitely a drawing/computer day;  not a day for bumbling to the harbour.   Not on the bike anyway;  but I might take a turn down there later in the afternoon in the car.  In the meantime I’m going back to the drawing board(s).... and yet another cuppa.

18.30    It has been a dreich kind o’ day.... but that didn’t stop me enjoying myself.   I never went out on the bike.... in fact I didn’t go out in the car, but for some reason I felt ‘positive’ and got on with the drawing while watching the snooker final.   I suppose I’d have to admit that I’ve had a ‘lazy’ day physically, but I’ll make up for that on Wednesday;  tomorrow is going to be much like today, as far as weather goes; according to the forecasters.    Wednesday should bring sunny spells and a change in wind direction for a few days. 

20.30   The workmen have been dismantling the Wedding marquee today....so it’s all


quiet until HM’s Jubilee Celebrations which will be the next ‘event’ in the villages....and there’s a lot being planned for that day.   I’ll have to tidy up Ivy before then.

I get the result of my Blood Test tomorrow;  then I have a phone appointment with my Asthma Nurse (Gill) on the 10th.   It’s the asthma that has been bothering me most (not today strangely enough) and the breathing exercises do seem to be helping.

‘No plan’ for tomorrow... other that drawing/ computer: and staying in for the phone appointment at 09.40.  I have bits of paper placed at strategic places; front of computer inside front door etc. so I shouldn’t be diverted.   Even if the sun is shining!

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
