Overcast ....

31st July 2022 (Sunday)     06.30 ....Hmmmm; the sky is overcast and it does

This lorry was a surprise on a Sunday morning.

look like we could get spells of ‘light rain’, as mentioned in the weather forecast.  However it’s forecast to brighten up by midday, though there will still be the chance of showers.  There’s a cool, light breeze from the Northeast but we can look forward to a warm afternoon;  and I’m going to have another cuppa then go for a quick tour of the villages ....weather permitting.

10.15    All appears to be good in Elie and Earlsferry this morning;  but we do have a lot of visitors, going by the number of parked cars;  and I met a huge delivery lorry coming along Liberty. 

I think it’s going to be a bonnie day yet; apart from being overcast it’s a nice enough morning just now... and not cold, even with a breeze out of the Northwest.   And I remembered to go for the paper.


21.00   I have been a busy boy... at both work and play: ‘Housework’ being the ‘work part of the day, and watching the Commonwealth Games the ‘play part.    I had the rugby 7’s and track cycling to keep an eye on.   Then there was a football match for the rest of the day... (and probably for innumerable years).   The Lionesses beat Germany 2 – 1.  From what I saw it was a closely fought match that could have gone either way.   I was working in the bathroom so didn’t watch the whole game.... but I was watching when all three goals were scored funnily enough.

What am I doing tomorrow?   The best time to go biking is first thing in the morning so I’ll do that before breakfast:  then I’ll continue to ‘de mancave’ Ivy for Janice and Michael coming (11th August).   Ivy isn’t that man-cavish, but I have been using it as a ‘studio’ during the COVID crisis.  I enjoy doing the ‘work’ but it’s not as easy to do as it used to be.  

The weather forecast is good for the next few days so any washing that I need to do will


dry.   That reminds me I have an ironing to do... tomorrow.   I’m feeling tired so I’ll have the chocolate and browse the TV Channels.

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
