Feeling frisky ...

12th January 2023 (Thursday)    10.00 .... the sky has clouded over since I


was at the harbour;   light rain showers are forecast for KY9.... and I’m looking for with sunny spells.   We had a ‘red sky in the morning’ sunrise, which I caught from the harbour.   After morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee  I might do  some ‘ousework.  



12.00    That’s the ‘ousework done;  I am now a enjoying morrrrrning coffee, before  having a mosey up to The Hutte.   The ‘plan’ is to go up to Myra’s for a cuppa in the afternoon;  and to see Jim’s National Service medal.   I should get one of them.

The weather has been kind to us so far today;  which is why I am contemplating getting the bike out to go to Myra’s.  However ....there is a cooler air around now and the wind is forecast to freshen so it’s more likely to be the car.


16.30    There was ‘nae chance’ of going to Myra’s on the bike;  it was raining.... and still is: Mostly in the form of long blustery showers.    I enjoyed a coffee, chat and goodie with Myra;  and I’m impressed with the National Service medal.   From Myra’s I went up to the Kirk Notice Board to get the Lanchen Greig phone number:  I have an appointment (blood) at the Adamson on the 23rd.   I then had a quick drive to the harbour and came home by way of Kinneuchar.

20.30    There’s a fair old wind tonight but the showers are forecast to peter out overnight to give us a good drying day tomorrow.   The lights have flickered a couple of times... presumably caused by the aforementioned wind.  

I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow, but, if it is a good drying day I’ll get the spare bedding


washed.  That reminds me I have a downie to insert into its cover;  that’s always good for a laugh.   I’ll do that after this update.

I’ve had an enjoyable day... and a reasonably active one.  I’d have like to go out on the bike but that wasn’t to be today.    I phoned the WRVS (Kirkcaldy) who run the Lanchen Greig but there was only an answering machine so I did as I was instructed and hope to get a reply 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
