Definitely colder ....

25th September 2022 (Sunday)     09.30 ....we had a bonnie pre-sunrise sky


albeit a “red sky in the morning” one, but the sky was clouding over and the actual sunrise was obscured by cloud;  since the sky has more or less totally clouded over, the wind has freshened and.... it’s colder.   I went for the paper on the bike... and was lucky enough to meet Carol at the Breakwater, where we had a long and interesting chat. 

I’m now going to have another cuppa before getting ready to go and ‘annoy’ Alice.


20.00   As planned I went to Leven to do a wee bit shopping before Ferry Road is ‘Closed’, then went to ‘annoy’ Alice.  By this time the sun had burned off the cloud and we had a bonnie day... albeit a breezy one.   After a cuppa and a catch up of each other’s new’ ‘news, we went to west Wemyss fort a short walk about... at both the harbour and kirk ends of the village.   The ‘plan’ is to go back on a slightly less windy day to do the

Coastal path from Dysart to West Wemyss.

‘middle’ bit.   We then went back to No 57, had lunch, a cuppa and another blether before I set off for Ivy... where I arrived about 15.00 (ish).    I am absolutely shattered after an enjoyable and busy day.  The ‘plan’ is to update ‘The Hutte’, watch ‘Karen Pirie’ (20.00) and have my mug o’ bedtime chocolate.... then be in bed about 5 minutes after switching orf the tele.

We have a windy and wet night now;  the Ivy hatches are well battened down.... and I might have a lie in tomorrow morning; ‘cloudy, with a moderate breeze and a low chance of precipitation’ is the forecast.

I have had a really enjoyable day.... and have a few photographs to play with; probably

Methil Energy park.

tomorrow morning, ‘cos I am really tired tonight.   I hope I don’t fall asleep in front of the tele.   It’s not often I bother about that but I want to watch ‘KP’.   I’m thinkin’ a wake up cuppa might be a good idea.

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
