Quiet morning ....

9th January 2023 (Monday)    07.45 ....I’m vertical and rarin’ to go but,


although the forecast for KY9 is .... 17.5 second pause ... is .... “sunny intervals and a moderate breeze”,  we had light drizzle earlier.   I don’t think it (the drizzle) will feature much in our weather today;   I’m already looking forward to sunny intervals:  Sunrise is at 08.39.  

09.45   There’s a cool, wintry feel to the air (wind chill) so it’s a wrap up well day;   I’ve been down at the harbour but will pick up the paper later in the morning.... I need to go to Ardross Farm Shop.   That said, I’ve had a migraine since the last update so this will be a rest day.... I'll do Ardross once the pills kick in.


16.00    I had a successful mission to Ardross Farm Shop;  to celebrate I bought a Fruit Loaf.   Five slices o’ that will take care of my fruit intake for today.   I now have all the ingredients for Scotch Broth and Cottage pies.   I’ll make the Scotch Broth tomorrow.... and the Cottage Pies on Wednesday.   In fact, when I think about it I could do both tomorrow:  using the crock pot for the broth and pans for the Cottage pies.   There’s a good chance of us having rain tomorrow and that means a good day for working in the kitchen.

A ‘migraine day’, such as I’ve had today, means a lot of sleeping because of the pills) so this has been a good rest day.

20.00    I’ve had a reasonable day.... but a migraine takes the wind oot o’ ma sails there’s no denying that.   I’ll have my mug o’ chocolate, and get away to bed about 21.00.   I’m looking forward to getting the crock pot going early tomorrow.    I might prepare the vegetables before going to bed.....I’ll only need one of the two huge carrots at Ardross today.

The Prince Harry interview on ITV last night was interesting;  (he has released another


three interviews, in the USA since last night.... all to do with the launch of his book ‘Spare’, tomorrow.   Anyway ... all the different ‘News’ Channels have been dissecting his ITV interview today.   I wouldn’t want to be Prince Harry; imagine having to live with the fallout from all this for the rest of your life?   There is no doubt that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are laughing all the way to the bank.... but will they be happy?   I really really hope so.

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

 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
