Bright and sunny ....

23rd September 2022 (Friday)      08.30   This is the Autumnal Equinox


 (when day and night are  the same length) ....and, this is exciting;  it’s only 88 days until the shortest day (and 92 until Christmas).    Right now we have a bonnie, “bright and sunny with a light breeze” start to the day....this could be a play day.  Actually I’m feeling slightly sluggish (normal for me after a vaccination) but that isn’t going to stop me going up to Chapel Green on the bike;  after another cuppa and a couple o’ paracetamol.

12.30   Instead of going up to Chapel Green on the bike I had a walk on the beach this morning.... the first time in a while I’ve done that.   The pills clobbered the headache but I have no doubt I’ll fall asleep this afternoon....but I’m hoping to feel more or less ‘normal’ tomorrow.  I haven’t been on the bike for a couple o’ days;  I might do that in the evening.

Ferry Road is going to be ‘closed’ for most of next week;  Scottish Water are doing something with the water supply to No2, The Courtyard.  

 


21.30    This has been a rest day;  mostly because I’ve been drowsy and headachy (jabs);  that said I had another short walk to the beach in the evening, after spending more or less the whole afternoon sleeping in front of the tele.... or in The Hutte.   I hope to be a bit more active tomorrow....though that depends on the after effects of the jabs;  so far, apart from the drowsiness and my eyeballs, the effects have been milder than the previous jabs. 

Although I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow, the weather forecast is good; sunny with a light


breeze in the morning, then cloud building in the afternoon;  much like it was today actually.   I’ve had the bedtime chocolate, (and a couple o’ paracetamol) so I’m ready for bed.   I’m hoping to feel good enough to go to the beach in the morning;  and get the bike out later  in the day.... I am enjoying having the SX70 back in action!

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
