Moody sky....

13th May 2022 (Friday)     09.30.... It was magical at the harbour this


morning;  Elie harbour is bonnie at any time but when there’s a moody sky .... my word it’s fantastical.   And there was a moody sky this morning. 

It’s going to be breezy most of the day so I may go out on the bike later but that depends on just how breezy it is;  the forecast is for frisky winds in the middle of the afternoon (F5)... a fresh breeze.  It’s F6 in the middle of the Firth just now.   Yes... I’ve been for the paper (in the car ‘cos there was light drizzle around) and enjoyed my visit to the harbour.   All is good down there;  it could be interesting at high tide.

15.30   It has been a fairly wild day, with infrequent sunny spells.   The wind is F6 on Largo Bay but it won’t be that on the beach;  not that I intend going to the beach just now.... I have been doing ‘ousework (Spring cleaning time) and watching ‘Scott of the Antarctic’ intermittently (not the best film to watch on a dull day).   I’m actually enjoying a quiet day... and ‘ousework is not hard the way I do it.   I don’t think I’ll be out the bike today.... unless the wind moderates in the evening.


19.30   The wind moderated but not enough to make me stop my ‘appy ‘ousework session.    Anyway tomorrow is going to be a slightly better day with more sunny intervals and less wind; that’s better ‘play day’ weather.  It’s strange me actually enjoying pottering around with ‘ousework;  probably because it was dull and windy out.  

I found athletics to watch on the TV so I’ve had a (surprisingly) enjoyable day.  I blame that virus I had for me enjoying staying ‘in’.   When I think about it the actual 4 days of the virus was ‘just a cold’;  in my case the after effects are much more discomforting.

22.00    The wind has dropped to F5 out in the Firth so we’ve had a much quieter


evening.   Having had a decent ‘rest day’ today I am contemplating going out on the bike early tomorrow morning... before the roads get busy; and if it isn’t too windy.... or cold in the earlier part of the morrrrrrrning.

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
