Damp ....

3rd December 2022 (Saturday)    10.00 ....I went down to the beach at

sunrise time but a shower o’ drizzle came across: the shower passed quickly enough... and we had an interesting sky, but the actual sunrise was never going to be visible because of low cloud on the horizon, so I didn’t stay out long.   Since then the sky has clouded over and we have more drizzle;  the ‘light rain’ is forecast to fade away later.   I was anticipating sunny spells in the afternoon but I’m not so sure now.   It looks like being a computer day.


19.00    The weather brightened up by midday; we had sunny spells,.... and I went out on the bike.  With the sky breaking up I decided to bike up to Elie to get the paper.... and visit the harbour.    The air had changed with the clearing sky and it was cold on the lugs.   Enjoyable, but definitely cooler than it had been when I was on the beach at sunrise time.


There’s still that one motor boat in the harbour and it looks awfie lonely;  in fact it disnae look very healthy the way it’s sitting on the water.   Anyway I photographed my way round the harbour (including the boat) and all the way home to Ivy.   I was ready for early afternoon coffee when I got home.

I had a ‘work plan’ for the afternoon;  however that had to be amended after I fell asleep watching football.   Luckily I’d done the ooverin’ and dustin’ before falling asleep.   However the afternoon wasn’t completely wasted as I eventually did some work on the computer... and might do some more ‘work’ later. 

22.00    This has ended up being a ‘rest day’;  I haven’t been able to get fired up most of the day.    I went out to shut the gate and it was raining;  so I looked up the weather forecast for tomorrow and we are to have light rain with a moderate wind from the East’.  Not really the kind of forecast I like:  probably means a computer/ housework kind o’ day.

It’s chocolate time... then off to bed to read my book.   With the forecast being iffy, I think


I’ll have a ‘sleep in’ tomorrow.   The ‘plan’ is to do some ‘ousework and get organised for Christmas.   I’m finding it hard to get into a Christmas mood this year; somebody told me yesterday that Santa Claus was a figment of my imagination!

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
