Feeling 'almost frisky'....

28th November 2022 (Monday)    07.00   There’s been a touch of ‘light


precipitation’ a wee while ago, but not enough to qualify as a ‘bad hair day’.    The weather forecast for us is .... (25 minute pause) .... “sunny intervals and a light breeze, with the chance of light precipitation”.  I’m feeling ‘brighter eyed and more bushy tailed’ this morning;  in fact I feel quite playful.   I’ll have to loup intae the car and go for the paper.... and milk: Can’t have breakfast without milk.    Slight ‘flap on’ now;  I’m hungry.

09.15    Although looking ever so slightly ominous, we had a beautiful sunrise sky this morrrning.   I’d been for the paper and at the harbour, where I intended to catch the sunrise, but changed my mind and went down to Nana’s Seat when I got back home.   I had noticed that the car had a soft tyre, so I inflated that at the harbour.   There wasn’t a cap on the valve so I don’t know if someone had let the air out of it or it’s a slow puncture.   Anyway, now that it’s through its MOT I’m booking the car in for a service, so I’ll get the garage to look at it: I can’t change a wheel now.

I’ve had breakfast... now I’m ready for a cuppa.   My back is feeling good, and I feel like doing things but I’m going to take it easy for another day at least.  Orf to put the kettle ‘on’.


18.30   My word.... this has been a really good day;  and I’m not just thinking of the weather.    Oh the weather has been ‘bright and sunny’ all day;;  but the fact that I have been able to do stuff was the best bit.    I framed a picture .... something that isn’t physically hard to do but requires a wee bit of thought;   I enjoyed doing  that, and it is something that I used to do all the time when Maggie and I made the wee golf clubs.   I celebrated with a cuppa then went up to Kinneuchar for a run in the car at sunset time to catch the setting sun light on the kirk.

I must have been well tired after all that, because I fell sound asleep watching the fitba’,


and woke up with a start about 20 minutes ago wondering where I was.   I'm thinking that another cuppa would get me going.

22.15    I’m having my chocolate, and wondering what I should do tomorrow.  The weather forecast is ‘good’.... but there is a bit of mist/fog just now so we might have a foggy start to the day;  and the weather dictates what I do.  I’ll see how the weather is in the morrrrrrrning.   I’m a happy and contented ‘boy’ tonight.

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
