Lovely morning ...

7th September 2020 (Wednesday)   08.30 .... we had thick haar earlier in the


morning but that has melted back out to sea and we now have a glorious , bright, sunny and warm day.   I’ve been for the paper(s) and visited the ‘arbour:  Stewart (Harbour Master) beat me to it this morning.   The tide was out (high tide is at 12.49) so I had a wander round the boats... until the camera battery went.    The haar might drift around today..... if so, we could get some interesting photographs.   I’m ready for breakfast.

21.30     The road resurfacing,  between Upper Largo and Lundin links, is progressing rapidly;  I don’t see it taking the 15 working days as planned.   Obviously there’s a holdup at the traffic lights but nothing annoying... though it might be at rush hour.


I’ve been at Letham Glen with Alice and other volunteers;  I’m not a volunteer I just wanted to see what is happening around Levenmouth:  today we chatted, Shona made a card, and we all played dominoes.   I’ll change that;  three  played I made up the numbers.    It was a good laugh... and ... yes I eventually won the very last game.   Happy boy.

After Letham Glen we went back to Alice’s then onto Windygates, to have lunch with Izzy and Alan (Alice’s daughter and son-in-law).    Alan and Izzy have  classic Chevrolet pickup;  I’m not sure what year but it looks like early 50’s.

Tomorrow is an important day for me; I’m going to have my haircut at Lorraine’s.... and it’s long overdue.  Actually I’ve let my hair grow long so that Lorraine  can actually do something with it.   That ‘operation’ happens at 10.15.   Apart from that 'operation' which happens at 10.15 I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.

Fife is covered by a Yellow Warning for heavy rain;  the warning is ‘operational from

Classic Chevrolet pickup.

04.00 to 10.00 tomorrow morning; the weather forecast for tomorrow being ....‘thundery showers and a moderate breeze’.    It might be damp in the morning.

I have enjoyed today.... and, as is usual after an enjoyable day, I am well tired.   It’s chocolate time.

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
