Breezy but not bright....

22nd June 2022 (Wednesday)    07.00.... Hmmmmm; it’s ‘wall to wall’ cloud


just now;  however that should start to break up soon to give us a bright, breezy (F3-4) and warm day.    I’ll get the bike out after this update and do a circuit of the villages to flatten the battery;  I’ll then charge the battery for a longer run this afternoon...or tomorrow.   It actually looks like we could get a shower o’ rain, though there’s no mention of precipitation in the weather forecast.   I think I'll leave the biking until the weather settles down.... and have another cuppa.

21.00     The sky cleared and we never had any showers.... in fact it’s been a bonnie, breezy day.... a wee bit too warm for me in the afternoon.  I didn’t go out on the bike, but checked the car tyres, topped up the 'squirters' and washed the windscreen etc.    I’ll take it through the car wash sometime soon.   When I was doing this I saw Pat and she reminded me that it was the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Bite’ Lunch today.   Good food and company ... and always plenty of chat.   I still talk too much.


I caught up with Lexie... and Robbie;  and was updated with the Kinneuchar ‘news’;  which was.... ‘nothing happening in Kinneuchar’.

It was far too warm in the afternoon to do anything in the garden;  there was a touch of ‘mauchless’ in the air:  however I did a bit in the garden once the heat had died down.   I also got the camera out and took some photos of the flowers, that reward my gardening skills by appearing every year.  

Not having been out on the bike the battery will have to be drained and charged tomorrow.   I’ve been feeling ‘one degree under’ today, but that’s to be expected after a virus:  I still feel as if I’m on the mend.... and I’m still feeling positive and less stressed.

What I do tomorrow all depends on how I feel .... and what the weather is doing.   ‘Light


cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the forecast so it looks like being a repeat of today’s weather.    That means I must do whatever I want to do before the heat of the day.

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
