Damp and misty ....

2nd December 2022 (Friday)   07.45.... There’s a bit of mist this morning....


I don’t think I’ll bother with the beach at this time;  but I’ll keep an ‘eye on the sky’ in case it brightens up in the next 15 minutes.    I have a prescription to pick up so won’t go out until after 09.00....hopefully on the bike as , although damp, it’s a quiet morning’  ‘thick cloud and a gentle breeze, with a chance of light precipitation (drizzle)’ is forecast for our area.

12.00   ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy this morning:  I’ve been to Elie (in the car) picked up my prescription and the paper;  and had a long chat to Anna who was waiting for the X60 bus.   This weather is not enticing me out today.... at least not so far.   Should the sun breakthrough I might go out on the bike, but I don’t think that is going to happen.    I have much to do in Ivy; so won’t be bored.


18.30   Well the sun never broke through so I didn’t go out on the bike.   I wasn’t that keen anyway because I was busy with other things. One of the ‘things’ I did was sent in my gas and electricity readings;  at that time I was £959 in credit.   It will be interesting to see what the credit figure is later tonight, after they’ve sorted it all out. 

With the weather being drab looking I never went to the beach today.... that’s actually ‘good’.... because it means there’s no sand to ‘oover up!    Tomorrow is going to be slightly brighter;  I am looking for sunny spells, but I don’t think it’s going to be warm.   

22.30    I’ve been working late on the computer (for me) tonight;  when I get into


something interesting it’s hard to stop.   Anyway I’m now finished for the night and will have my mug o’ chocolate then bumble off to bed:  I’ll pick up where I left off (on the computer) tomorrow.

I’ve enjoyed ‘today’ even though the weather wasn’t the bonniest;  a few sunny spells tomorrow will cheer us up.

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
