Overcast and breezy ....

3rd June 2022 (Friday)     08.30 .... There’s a brisk wind from the NE and it’s not


as warm as I’d hoped for, so I took the car to go for the paper.   I’ll get the bike out in the afternoon to browse the ‘istory Society Exhibition.... if the wind isn’t too frisky.   The sky is overcast just now; but the sun should burn the cloud by morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee time.   I thought the air felt warmer when I first ventured at 06.30.   I showered at the more reasonable time of 06.00.

09.30   I took a few photos from the harbour:  when I downloaded them I noticed that the Union Flag was upside down (probably somebody messing about last night).   Thankfully Angus (Elie Water Sports) has fixed it.    Flying the union Flag upside down is a distress signal.... or ... an insult to HM The Queen. 


 18.00   It has been a bonnie day but I had to stay within the confines of Ivy because of the East wind, so I did a spot of gardening ... and watched the Jubilee Service from St Pauls.  Some days are good days and some are not so good;  this was a not so good one.    I’m having more of the good days now so I must be on the mend.   I had hoped to go to the beach, but that was definitely a no go area for me.   I did the ironing and sorted out a washing for tomorrow morning.   Another good drying day.

21.30   Welll... we’ve had a bonnie day, and warm sheltered from the wind.   I’ve had a restful day:  the plan was to go to the History Society Exhibition this afternoon but decided to ‘potter’ around Ivy away from the wind.   Depending on how I feel I’ll visit the exhibition tomorrow morning.   I’m actually going to be ‘on duty’ on Sunday afternoon, by which time the ‘team’ will be getting ready to dismantle the exhibition, so I should have a quiet time.   I do ‘quiet’ very well.

We have a very peaceful end to the day;  the breeze has dropped away... and there’s a red

Is that a 'Royal' pigeon on the steps?

sunset so we can look forward to a bonnie day tomorrow.   I had big plans for this weekend but sadly they have ‘fallen by the wayside’;  I hope to be ‘frightfully frisky’ tomorrow.   It’s chocolate time now... followed by an early night in bed.    Oh the ‘Bloblings’ are not far away and I expect to see them tomorrow.

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
