Overcast ....

3rd September 2022 (Saturday)     07.00 .... Although looking bonnie, even


when the sky is heavily overcast, as it is this morning, our wee corner of  Mother Earth disnae really suit grey: the moody look is never as cheerful and uplifting as a bright and sunny start to a day.   It isn’t raining at the moment, but it looks like we could get some light rain.... before sunny spells move in. 

20.30    It hasn’t been the bonniest o’ days but I biked up to the shops and came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar;  that is the longest bike run I’ve done since having the virus.    I lost confidence after I fainted, and never wanted to be too far from home;  so today’s run means that I am definitely getting better.... slowly.   Fatigue hit me in the afternoon so I rested.   Tight now I’m feeling chirpy, but will have an early night in bed.


I am partial to the wee tautties that are on the shelves just now so, the other day I bought a pack .... today I spent a good half hour at the sink, picking all the wee ‘eyes’ etc off them:  I have been known to peel them.

The sheets are on the single bed... all I have to do is put the downie intae it’s cover... likewise the pillows into their covers... and we have a bed ready for Iain next weekend.  No wonder I am tired.   I need a cuppa.


21.30   While enjoying the aforementioned cuppa I have been checking the weather for tomorrow:   Fife is covered by a Yellow warning for heavy rain, from midnight tonight through to 15.00 tomorrow afternoon.   I won’t be going far on the bike tomorrow;  in fact it looks like tomorrow could be drawing and computer day.   Oh well .... there’s loads o’ stuff I want to do;  after I finish Iain’s bed!

Sunny spells were few and far between today... hopefully we’ll get a few later on


tomorrow afternoon.    Morning time is forecast to be the wettest part of the day.... somewhere else in Fife.  

I have enjoyed today in spite of it being various shades of grey most of the time; it was pleasantly warm even exposed to the wind;  and it is going to be warm overnight.   I think it’s hot 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
