Damp ....

30th June 2022 (Thursday)    07.30 ....Mmmmm;  we have a dreich start to what


I hope is going to be a bonnie day in a wee while.  The sky is showing some promising signs.... but I don't think the bike will be coming out until late afternoon/evening time.  

09.30   I managed a slow wander to the beach on what is now a bonnie morning.   There’s still the threat of showers;  hopefully somewhere else: but not Upper Largo!

20.00    A string o’ days like today and we could have a decent summer;  a bit too warm for me, especially in the car.   That said I’m rarely out in the car in the middle o’ the day... but I had the funeral service at Upper Largo.   There was a good turnout for Bill’s funeral service;  most of whom went to the Hotel for refreshments and a chat afterward.   We managed to get parked in the Hotel Car Park then walk to the kirk and back... albeit slowly.   My breathing has been 'good' today.

Largo kirk.

The car had its photo taken today.   I think the traffic Warden intended putting a ticket on it then noticed that I had a Blue Badge.   Perhaps I should have the badge where it can be seen from further away, but I keep it in the place made for it.   This is the first time I have actually seen a Traffic Warden on Ferry Road for a long time;  I imagine he got a surprise when he turned left at the bottom of Ferry Road.

21.30    Tomorrow looks like being another bonnie, with a ‘chance of showers’, day;  I might go out on the bike first thing .... if the weather is favourable.   I seem to be getting over the virus (especially on sunny days) but don’t want to hinder the recovery, by going out on the wrong kind o’ day.   Today has been excellent... apart from the sadness of Bill’s funeral service.  

I have ‘nae real plan’ for tomorrow;  the ‘Tour’ is on TV (Channel 26 I think it is) in the


afternoon, so all my activities will be before that.   I’m hoping to do some gardening but I’ll take it easier than I did last week;  the not so young muscles need gentle exercise, not lifting heavy boulders.   I think it’s time to make the chocolate, then have a quick browse o’ the TV Channels to see what’s on.


The book I ordered is on the move and could arrive tomorrow or Saturday.... I’d better remember that;  it’s being delivered by Hermes and they let you know when they expect to deliver.   I think it’s time to make the chocolate, and then have a quick browse o’ the TV Channels to see what’s on.

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
