Light cloud .....

8th July 2022 (Thursday)     06.30 ....(Note to me;  remember Tesco at 10.00).  

November sunrise - 2014

There’s a light ESE breeze bringing cloud in from the North Sea, but it’s warm and dry so, though the clouds are of the not very interesting kind, it’s a bonnie enough start to what could be a nice enough day.... once the sun breaks through.   There’s the chance of showers in the afternoon.    I won’t be going out on the bike until after Tesco has been in case I get sidetracked and end up on Balcarres Estate.

11.00   Tesco arrived right ‘on the button’ and everything has been sorted and put away:  I was cleaning the glass (door fanlights) when he arrived so there was no chance of missing him. 

The sun is trying hard to break through... and I need it to succeed ‘cos I have a washing out.   I was going to do a woollen wash but I’ll leave that until Saturday, when it’s forecast to be a better drying day.   Meanwhile, I’ll have a cuppa then finish off cleaning the glass.

15.00    My washing isn’t drying very well.... we’ve had light rain, on and off, for the past couple of hours;  and it looks like it could again soon.  The washing is wet so it stays out;  it might be dry by tomorrow morning.  

As far as ‘working goes I have done well;  in fact I think tomorrow will have to be a rest day.   At the moment I’m having a cuppa because there’s a lack o’ oxygen in the air mix just now; afternoons are always the worst time.   I’ll take the bike out and go to Chapel Green when the air improves.... that might also be tomorrow.

21.30   Owing to the damp spell this evening the bike was never out;   but my washing is.    I’ll go out tomorrow morning early.    Actually I have done well (by my standards) with the glass cleaning today.   I still have the front windows to do but I’ll do them the week before Michael and Janice arrive.    I’m content ... and tired.   I don’t think I have overdone the ‘work’ but I have no doubt I’ll find that out tomorrow morning.   This is the first time I have used step ladders since having the virus so I must be getting better.

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
