Bright and sunny ....

9th 7th June 2022 (Tuesday)   08.00 ....We had a ‘bright and sunny start to the


morning but the sky is beginning to cloud over;  it looks like the rest of the day will be ‘light cloud with good sunny intervals’.    There’s only a light breeze (from the East) so it’s warm... was warm in the sun.  I might go out on the bike in the afternoon....it depends on how much the wind freshens.

10.30    I know that time is passing swiftly... but not as swiftly as the Hutte date was this morning;  I think that might have been 'Planet Owlbert' time..  

 I have been to ‘The Store’(shopping);  my word prices are noticeably rising .... so;  nae ‘goodies’ from now on.... only essentials.   The roads were busy.... even the ‘back road’ via Kellie was busy.   I didn’t enjoy the drive.

I’m going to have morrrrrrrrning coffee then do some gardening;  I have a feeling that the afternoon might be of the ‘stay in’ kind;  so any biking will be in the late afternoon / evening.


20.30   The bike hasn’t been out for three days and it won’t be out this evening;  it’s a bonnie evening, but the wind off the sea is bitterly cold.   However I have been working in the garden.   There’s a bush I want to get rid of (and plant a flower in its place) so I’ve been cutting that back;  in between breaks in The Hutte.

I haven’t taken one photograph today (so far);  this has to be some kind o’ record.   I’m thinkin’ o’ takin’ a run round the villages in the car;  I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t take a few photos of ‘today’.  

 22.00    I had a run out in the car (too cauld for the bike) and managed to get a few


photos so I’m a happy boy.   The wind has moderated so it isn’t as cold as it was earlier in the evening;  that said, it isn’t warm.   I’ve enjoyed myself today but it’s frustrating not being able to do the things I want to do.   One good thing I have noticed over the past couple of days;  I’m not using the bloo inhaler as much.... almost back to pre virus usage in fact.... so that’s a good sign.

We’re down for ‘light rain and a moderate breeze’ tomorrow so it looks like it might be a computer day.... a rest 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
