Breezy ....

15th November 2022 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... I had a quick trip to the beach to


catch the pre sunrise sky:  there’s a frisky wind so I didn’t stay for actual sunrise.   Anyway, ‘slight flap on this morrrrrrrrning’,  I have to go to Leven and I intend leaving about 08.40.   I got a load of photographs but only had time for a quick browse.




15.45     My word we have had a wet afternoon;  the journey home from Leven  was wet.... and in low cloud at Largoward.  (By the way...the car ‘Failed’ the MOT so will be going for a long ‘oliday at Kirkcaldy).   Apart from some deep surface water the journey was uneventful.   Normally it’s quite a scenic route but not this afternoon!

I’m glad that I went to the beach this morning;   I won’t be going out with the camera again today.   I went for a walk when the car was getting it’s MOT and took a few photos at the Banbeath Industrial Estate:  they aren’t the most exciting to look at but they are a record of my visits to Fife Auto.


I visited Alice after leaving the garage, where I enjoyed a cuppa with an Apple and Cinnamon scone....and had a good old natter.   With the weather being what it was, we didn’t go anywhere.... choosing instead to chat about the ‘olden days’, and Alice’s activities with ‘Special Needs’ folk.   She is a busy ‘girl’.

21.30    It has been a long, and eventful, day but at last the rain has stopped, and tomorrow’s weather forecast is... 30 second delay ........ ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’ and only a low chance of precipitation.   I might go out on the bike.... when the ‘sunny spells’ come along, if it isn’t too cold;  there’s going to be a cool breeze off the sea.   At the moment I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow.   Right now I’m thinkin’ it’s chocolate time.... and I need to find a book to read in bed.

I mentioned earlier that I’d take a few photos of Banbeath Industrial Estate;  not the


most interesting of subjects but it exists, and I have used one of its services,  so has to be recorded.  It’s unlikely that I’ll ever go back there:  certainly not for the scenery.

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
