Damp ....

17th July 2022 (Sunday)      06.30 .... As was forecast we have light rain this


morning;  but, forget the light rain.... it’s a nice enough morning and the rain is going to move away and we will have sunny spells soon.   I’m in a ‘want to go out to play’ mood, but there are two variants of ‘the bug’ doing the rounds so I guess ‘playing’ is not a good idea.  I’ll have another cuppa then loup intae the car and go for the paper.

09.00    Everyone will be pleased to know that “all is good at the harbour” with everything being where it should be;  and I remembered to pick up the paper.   It was spitting rain when I was out but the sky should brighten up by midday.   I’m thinking that a spot of caffeine would be a good idea.

Although the villages are busy I don’t think they are as busy as they usually are when ‘The Open’ is on.


19.00    My word ... ‘The Open’ was a cliff hanger right to the end.  The winner putted brilliantly yesterday .... and today.  I have to admit  I was hoping the Norwegian player would win;  we never think of Norway as a golfing nation.... and to have  Norwegian on the Leader Board was different.   Stage 15 of ‘le Tour’ also had an exciting finish;  I’m glad that tomorrow is a ‘rest day... I’ll try to get my bike fixed.... if it isn’t too hot to work outside.   I haven’t done much work today, ... that’s why I am having to work on the bike tomorrow.   ‘Sunny with a gentle breeze’ is the forecast.... and warm ... 25C.

As per weather forecast the weather has been cloudier all day .... though we did have a


few blinks of the sun.  

21.00    Someone has a BBQ going and aroma is firing up my taste buds;  I’m droolin’ ... and I had food not long ago.  I’ll make a cuppa and have a chocolate bicci.   I know that’s not the same as something off a BBQ, but it’s the best I can think of;  other than put on my ‘never been fed for a week look’ and  find the source of the aroma.   Orf to make that cuppa.

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
