Damp ....

28th June 2022 (Tuesday)   08.00 ....The sky is overcast, the roads are wet and


the forecast says “a high chance of precipitation”; it’s raining.   Actually it was fair when I went to the door a few minutes ago so the rain should move away by mid morning.   The garden is wet so I won’t be doing much there this morrrrrrrning;  hopefully it will dry quickly, and the showers have long sunny spells between them.

10.30    Because of the rain I went to ‘The Store’ to do a shopping.... anticipating hoping for a dry, and sunny, afternoon.   The Store wasn’t busy but the roads were;  even the back road via Kellie was busy.   Then again it is the ‘oliday season and I have the feeling that the East Neuk is going to be busy this summer.

I inadvertently picked up a small ‘goodie’ from the Bakery shelf so I am orf to make the ‘MC’ (morning coffee) and enjoy a ‘Yum Yum’.   It’s only a skinny doughnut....  covered with icing... so there won’t be many calories in it:  but it will be full of “energy giving succulents”.



15.30    The 'hoover' has it’s ‘sook’ back;  the bags arrived this morning.   I’ve done a basic ‘oover just to see if it’s working better;  it is.   It has been a drab kind o’ day;  light rain on and off all day so far.   I went to Elie to pick up a prescription, and down to the ‘arbour.   I stopped at The Toft to take a few photos, but by the time I got to the harbour the rain was too heavy to bother leaving the car.   The evening might be brighter;   mind you the sky is still heavily overcast, so not very promising.







20.00  Well ..the weather has been a bit dour today; that said I did see a big blue patch earlier but it didn’t last long.  The wind has been off the water so it has been cool.    I’m not complaining ‘cos I’ve had another much needed rest day:  I don’t think I have ever been as physically tired as I was yesterday.   The fatigue that comes with the virus is one of the worst after effects.  That said .... I have been doing some fairly heavy work in the


garden over the past week, and it finally caught up with me.   Anyway I feel back to normal now and looking forward to doing some work (light) in the garden tomorrow.   The weather is going to be brighter than today, “light showers and a moderate breeze from the SE”.

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
