Bright and breezy (weather too) ....

10th June 2022 (Friday)     08.15 ....Blue sky all over ... wellll, the sky


actually... so it’s a bonnie start to the day.    There’s a frisky wind from the West (F4), which is going to freshen, with the chance of precipitation, in the afternoon.   I’ll get the bike out and go for the paper .... might even go via Elie Estate.... after hanging out a washing,.... I had an early breakfast.   I notice lumps of cotton wool clouds bumbling over so the 'bloo' sky is starting to look interesting; and I'm ready for another cuppa.

16.00   It has been a lovely day... and I may have a touch of the sun.   I went for the paper in the car, then had an early morrrrrrrrning coffee before going out on the bike in the warm sunshine.   Mind you I wasn’t in the sun coming through Elie Estate but I had been out to Kinneuchar Station.   Since then I have been fiddling about with cameras....falling asleep in The Hutte.... and am now about to iron the bits of washing that need it.    It has been a perfect drying day.


22.00   I intended going up to Chapel Green in the evening but we’ve had a couple of squally showers so I’ve decided to cancel that plan... and put the kettle ‘on’ instead.   In between the showers it is fine but the gaps in between are short.   I’ll go out early in the morning;  the forecast is for strong winds all day, but it’s sometimes quiet(er) at 06.00.   By strong I mean F7 – 8.

I’ve enjoyed today;  the wind being from the Westerly direction means my breathing is better:  not back to where it was pre virus but there’s noticeable improvement.   A decent few weeks o’ summer weather is what we all need.

I see that there’s new variant of the virus causing the case numbers to rise again.   For


people with breathing problems could mean going back to being cautious regarding socialising.   I know that I wouldn’t want to go backwards... now that I’m starting to feel better.

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
