Cold on the lugs ....

6th December 2022 (Tuesday)    08.00 ....It is cold this morning;  there’s

'Minna' - Fisheries Protection vessel.

raw feel to the air.... so this boy won’t be going to the beach for sunrise.    There’s a bank of low cloud so sunrise won’t be visible anyway.   I’ll go for the paper (in the car) once the sun does appear, and after I’ve hung out a washing.   I’m not sure that doing a washing today was one of my better ideas, but it’s going through the machine as I type.    I’ve had breakfast....right  now I’m ready for another cuppa. 

22.00    This has been a bonnie day.... but a touch too cold for me to go out on the bike.  Havin’ said that.... it was warm in the sun.  However I went to ‘The Store’,  in the car, to get some supplies.    I no longer browse the aisles nowadays;  I buy the items I need so....  no ‘goodies’.    There’s a subdued air to shopping now.... even my favourite check out lassie seemed to be less cheerful than usual.   To avoid the ‘inverted speed bumps’ on the road into St Monans I came home by way of Kellie Castle, and was back home by morrrrning coffee time.


After I’d put the messages away I sat down to have a well deserved mug o’ coffee.... after a busier morning than expected.   I thought about going down to the beach but ended up looking for picture wire:   I saw a coil of it the other day and must have put it in a ‘safe place’    I have a multitude of ‘safe places’.   They are completely useless of course because I forget where they are:  that said when I do come across something in its ‘safe place’ it’s always a pleasant surprise.... but the found item is no longer required.   It’s not easy being ‘me’.

Tonight is the start of a spell of cold weather.... temperatures more like we should be having at this time of year.   I haven’t a ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  apart from finding the picture wire.   It must be in The Hutte ‘cos that is where I was when I last saw it.   I’m

'Saipem 7000'.

taking the car to go for the paper in the mornings;  and down to the harbour to catch the sunset this afternoon.   I’m contemplating a trip up to Gillingshill in the next few days.... but I need to shake off this ‘under the weather’ feeling that I have first.

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
