Overcast and wet ....

29th June 2022 (Wednesday)   07.45 ....My word.... it’s bleak and wet just


now.... but the sky is brightening towards the West so we should end up with ‘light showers with a moderate breeze’.... the bits in between the showers being sunny spells;  long ones!    I don’t think the bike will be going far today;  I’m feeling frisky, and fancied a tour of the villages.   ‘Tour’?.... The ‘Tour de France starts (in Denmark) on Friday, with Stage 1 being a time trial around Copenhagen.

16.00    This turned into another ‘rest day’;  the garden was too wet to do anything.   All I have done is had a short play with the ‘oover, and carry cuppas up to The Hutte where I did a few Sudoku’s.  The showers have been few but they have been wet.   I’ll have a run out in the evening... probably in the car.


22.30    The tide was out when I went to the harbour so I was able to wander around the boats;  this was an hour before sunset.   Unfortunately I only had the wee camera (Olympus) with me... and it ran out of power.   The spare batteries were at home, so I didn’t catch the sun dropping below the clouds.   That said I am happy with the photos I got.

This hasn’t been a rest day ... it’s been more of a lazy one;  I did stuff on the computer but the showers were too frequent to even consider going out on the bike...and the garden was always too wet to get anything done there.   I’m a frustrated bunny.

The ‘Balcarres’ book that I ordered is down for delivery on Friday.   I am happy about


that;  I was worried in case it was going to be delivered tomorrow;  I am going to a Memorial Service in Upper Largo kirk in the middle of the day.   I also have another book to order but I won’t do that until Friday. 

This has been a frustrating kind of day but at least it’s ending with a promising look... almost a red sky  in fact.   ‘Light rain showers with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast.   It’s chocolate time.

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
