Warm and overcast .....

6th May 2022 (Friday)     07.30 .... The early morning bike plan fell by the

Yep.... it's been that kind o' day.

wayside;  there was light drizzle  earlier, and it’s still threatening so I’ll go out later.    I’m feeling positive so the washing is going through the machine.... it might be mid morrrrrrrning before it ends up on the line: sunny intervals and a moderate breeze being the forecast for KY9 from mid morning – ish.

17.30    As I suspected it would be;  today has been a ‘rest day’.  The muscles had to have a rest after yesterday’s decent run out on the bike.,,, but I might go out in the evening, if it isn’t too windy.   Ferry Road has been busy the afternoon... most of the day in fact..  

My washing dried.... after getting an extra rinse when on the line.  I’ll do the ironing after this update.... ’ousework isn’t strenuous the way I do it.

21.00   I’ve had a really quiet day.... a bit like the Eider on the rocks off Chapel Green!    I’ve done the ironing and a wee bit o’ ooverin’ and dustin’ .... but mostly I have been dreamin’.   Funnily enough I have enjoyed today.... even though I never went further than the front gate;  but there’s not much else to write about;  nothing interesting anyway....unless you are interested in Gothic Architecture.


The wind is veering right round to the East tomorrow.... so it will feel colder again.... but, thankfully, rain isn’t mentioned in our weather forecast;  which is ‘light cloud and a gentle breeze’.   It’s the direction of the ‘gentle breeze’ that’s the problem.

The ‘plan’ is to be a bundle of action tomorrow....before the streets get busy;  and if it’s not too cold for my delicate complexion.

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

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
