Quiet morning ....

16th June 2022 (Thursday)    06.00 ....  the garden thermometer is reading 14C


already;   there is a light southwest breeze so it will be a wee bit cooler at the harbour;  but it’s a great start to what looks like being another nice day.     And we might have interesting shower clouds in the afternoon.

08.30   I’ve been out (on the bike);  you’ll all be pleased to know that all is where it should be at the harbour.   Funnily enough, although a nice morning there is a breeze and so it’s not as warm as it was yesterday morning... probably ‘cos there’s also a thin layer of cloud as well as the breeze.    Having said all that;  I enjoyed my bumble on the bike.


14.30   Ye Gods;  I don’t know what was in the air around 09.00 but it hit my tubes and I had to abandon any plans to work;   all I did was sit in The Hutte and do Soduko’s.    Unfortunately I had to phone Myra and opt out of the lunch she had organised for ‘The Team’;  there was no way I could go ‘out and about’.    The pollen count would be high but there was also pollution of some kind;  however I managed to prevent an asthma attack with judicious use of the inhalers.   I eventually fell asleep, in The Hutte, and my breathing is ‘back to normal’;  as it was when I was out in the early part of the morning.    A shower o' rain would clear the air.

20.30    It has been a nice enough day, but it looks like it could turn to rain overnight;  the forecast for tomorrow is ‘light rain with a fresh breeze’ first thing but brighter later.

The lunch that I had to miss out on was delivered by Myra and Kirsty in the afternoon;  so I actually enjoyed the food part, but missed out on the conversation.   That said I had a good old natter with the delivery girls;  it has been an enjoyable day... apart from the hiccup with the breathing.   I really appreciate the value of having had all my ‘jabs’ I can tell you.

I’d say that this has been a ‘rest day’ for me.... though I did manage to paint the table top


first thing this morning;  before going out on the bike.   I did a few ‘hard’ Soduko’s so the brain isn’t completely ‘fog bound’.   I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  everything depends on the weather is doing.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on’ .... it’s nearly Skype 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

 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
