'Red sky in the morrrrrrrrrrrrning' etc .....

11th October 2022 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... Sunrise time on the beach was


spectacular this morrrrrrrning;  if you like a red sky i.e.  The weather forecast isn’t ‘bad’; ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’ being the forecast for KY9.   The ‘plan’ is to go out on the bike when the air warms up;  which will be after breakfast and morrrrning coffee time.    Orf to put the kettle ‘on’ ... again.






15.00   So far today the air hasn’t warmed up enough very much so I haven’t been out on the bike.   I went to Barnett’s (in the car), to get a couple o’ scones, planning to visit Shona (on the bike) but that plan is on hold;  right now I’m having a cuppa and thinking of putting the bike battery on charge.   The problem is;  what do I do with the scones?   Of course.... scoff them and buy fresh ones on the day I do go to Kinneuchar!   Then again I could loup intae the car, with the scones?   Decisions?.... I am

not good at decisions!   I’ll have that cuppa.  
I never cease to amaze me;  over the past three weeks or so I have bought scones three times anticipating visiting Shona;  and had the pleasure of eating 6 scones, thickly layered wi’ butter and strawberry jam, in The Hutte!.... sharing scone crumbs wi' Blob.   Diet?



20.00    I’ve had a good day potterin’ around Ivy.... most of the time trying to in the Hutte sorting out sketch pads.   It’s interesting browsing old sketch pads, with many with long forgotten sketches for ‘projects’..... including the project that I’m working on.   I’m a happy and contented boy tonight.

Slight moan.    I notice that we can now buy foodstuffs without ‘Best By’ dates on them; now I'm wondering if ‘Best Buy’ dates were ‘invented’ to con people into throwing edible food


away;  human greed knows no bounds when it comes to ripping people off to make money for investors. ‘Rip Off Britain’ (ROB) right enough. Moan over.

There’s no ‘plan’ for tomorrow though the weather forecast is pretty much the same as today’s was.... though it could be ‘damp’ first thing.   I don’t suppose there’s much to see on the tele but I’ll go and have a browse through the Channels.

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
