Slightly damp ....

5th September 2022 (Monday)      07.30.... It’s not the bonniest of mornings; 


we’ve had rain overnight .... but I have a washing going through the machine, and I’m hoping  to hang it out later.   I’m feeling positive, bright and breezy in fact;  unfortunately the sky is mostly overcast, not ‘iggzactly’ the way I’d like it to be:  having said that, we’re only a couple of thousand feet away from a bonnie day.   And it’s breakfast time.

16.30    We ended up with a glorious ‘drying day’ and the washing dried in ‘nae time: I know you will have been wondering about it.   (It will be ironed while I’m watching something on the tele).   Being as it was such a bonnie day I did something I rarely do;  I went out with the camera.... in the middle of the day.   It was pleasantly warm even though the breeze was off the water.    Elaine came round Chapel Green, walking her dog, and joined me on the


‘Webster’ seat where we had a long, and enjoyable, conversation...' while her dog (bless his hairy feet) waited patiently for his walk.   Elaine set off with dog and I moved to The Boss’s seat;  where I slowly began to feel guilty:  why?.... because I hadn’t done any ‘ooverin’ or dustin’ this morning.   I dragged the ‘oover ower the living room when I got back home!   It's been all 'go' today.

22.00    This has been an excellent ‘rest’ day ....it turned out even bonnier than I expected... and warmer.    And it ended with a red sky so tomorrow should be a bonnie day.

I have no plan for tomorrow but the forecast is for us to have ‘thundery showers with a


moderate breeze;  so there should be interesting clouds around us....I’m hoping to see the clouds while they deposit their contents somewhere else.  If the weather is good Alice will come along to Elie, where I will meet her and we will go to Pittenweem Braes to see the outdoor swimming pool, the shelter with the murals.... then walk down to Pittenweem Harbour for an ice cream;  but only if the weather is amenable.

It hasn’t been an exciting day but it has been very relaxing and enjoyable;  and   I’m looking forward to Pittenweem tomorrow so I definitely want the showers to be ‘somewhere else’.

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
