Cool morning ....

5th July 2022 (Tuesday)     07.00 .... It’s a cake day; Maggie’s birthday.... she


would have been 81 ... oops ....21and a bit today:   “Happy Heavenly Birthday” to ‘The Boss’. Xx

07.00   ‘Sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast for KY9;  at the moment the sky is overcast and we have a cool breeze.  The garden thermometer is at 10C just now (it should be warmer at this time of year) but the air will warm with the rising sun... up to 19C in the afternoon.   I was thinking of getting the bike out, but I’ll leave that till it’s warmer.

09.30    I had a wander to the beach on what is now a bonnie ... and warm morning.    I didn’t go down onto the beach... mostly because I prefer low tide... but I could see that everything is as it should be;  sand, water, rocks...and folks out enjoying an early morning stroll.


15.00   I’m having a mid afternoon cuppa before getting the bike oot and having a run up to Chapel Green.... on what is a bonnie afternoon.    I was going to work in the garden but decided that a quiet afternoon would be better; I might do some light gardening  in the evening.

The car is going to have its knee caps checked on Friday (Fife Auto Leven) morning.   I have been using St Andrews for the past couple of years because of the COVID;  now I think it’s time to go back to the Leven Branch.   Must ‘go’... medium ‘flap on’.... got a mug o’ coffee to make to take up to Chapel Green.   I’m a ‘happy boy’.... and looking forward to seeing my friends in Leven Fife Auto again.

20.00    The worst after effect of COVID, and the hardest to shake off, has to be fatigue;  it disnae take


much ‘work’ to tire me out;  and I can sleep anywhere.... staunin’ up even.    Welll... maybe no’ quite staunin’ up but sleep comes easy.  Anyway we’ve had a lovely day and it’s ending with a lovely evening.   If I wisnae sae tired I’d hirple doon tae the beach.

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
