Windy and not warm ....

26th December 2022 (Monday)     09.45 ....it’s windy so we have  wind chill


to cope with and it isn’t warm.    I think this is a day of rest for me;  I’m going to browse the TV paper to find a decent film to watch;  it won’t be an American film where the hero has a plateful of bullets for breakfast, and carries a machine gun with an never ending supply of said bullets;  I want something peaceful.... and realistic.   Must ‘go’;  got to have breakfast .




19.45    As is usual for me every year, Boxing Day has been a ‘lazy’ day;  and with this one being a cold one, I only went out for a short run in the car after morning coffee.    I had looked for something to watch on the tele but nothing ‘jumped out’ at me, so I ended up sorting out a load of papers.... and resting. 

My run in the car was only up to Kinneuchar then home by way of Balbuthie and the harbour;  stopping a a couple of places to get a few photos to ‘play with.  That’s when I noticed now cold it was.... and I was wrapped up.    Mike was at the harbour but we didn’t talk for long ...because of the wind.


‘Sleet showers and a fresh breeze’ is the forecast for tomorrow;  that means it’s going to be another ‘wrap up well’ day.   I’d like to go out on the bike but can’t because, with this cold weather I end up with a sore throat.   That said I have new 'super warm' scarf and gloves so could wrap up well enough to take a chance and go round ‘the Ferry.   I’ll see how frisky I feel in the morning.   I got up early this morning intending to go to the beach.... but the cold wind ended that plan.   There's a good chance that will happen tomorrow.

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
