Colder than yesterday....

26th September 2022 (Monday)      08.30.... there’s a chillier air this


morning but it’s dry, and the sky has the ‘sunny spells’ look, so I’ll leave any biking until the air warms up.   I louped intae the car to go for the paper and had the mandatory run to the harbour;  all is good down there.... apart from the cold wind.    

The car is now moored up at St Margaret’s ‘cos Ferry Road is going to be ‘closed’ to traffic sometime today, and for most of the week, to allow Scottish Water to do things.   The camera has been warmed up.....and its breakfast time.   Oh ....I think this might be a rest day.

20.15    There was a bonnie ‘light’ over the villages when I went out on the bike  just before lunch.... I only went as far as Chapel Green because I started out with a low battery, the plan being to flatten it before re-charging.    This I did and I have a fully charged battery for the next time I’m out on the bike;  and that depends on the weather.   I am happy with the photos I got;  this gives me something to ‘play’ with later.


Scottish Water, in the guise of ‘Clancy’, are working on Ferry Road;  and we have two holes to browse.   A section of pipe has been replaced in one hole (that has been needing to be done for years) and is ready to be filled in etc; there’s more work to be done in the other ‘ole.... so plenty browsing tomorrow.

I enjoyed watching ‘Karen Pirie’ last night although I at first thought that the lassie playing the part of Karen was too young looking to be a Police Sergeant... then I realised it was maybe me that was old... and that makes everybody seem young:  there was another thing?.... oh aye, I couldn’t see how the bed scene at the beginning fitted into the story:  yep...I am getting old tight enough!

As I thought it might be, this has been a ‘lazy’ day; though I did begin cutting back the


ivy bush.   Apparently after effects from the ‘jabs’ can occur for up to two weeks; so I’m blaming them for feeling one degree under.    Of course it could just be the change in the temperature.



"Sunny spells with a fresh breeze, and the chance of light rain showers" is the forecast for KY9 tomorrow.... and cool in the frisky wind.  Hmmmm .... not the best for biking;  I was thinking of going to Kinneuchar.

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
