Strong wind .... .....

6th January 2023 (Friday)    09.00.... after a wild night, the frisky  (F7 – 8)


wind should begin to moderate by mid morning;  I won’t be going out on the bike.  We have an interesting and ever changing sky, because there’s a  stream of clouds scuttling across, but it’s too windy for me going to the beach just now:  anyway I need a cuppa.   I’ll go for the paper later in the morning!    Funnily enough it would be warm for the time of year if it wasn’t for the wind.



09.45   The wind is moderating already... and I didn’t have to go to the beach to catch the sunrise;  I caught it from Ferry Road.   I’ve had breakfast and think I’ll have an early morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before loupin’ intae the car and going for a paper  I might even venture down to the harbour.

15.15    I actually went for the paper this morning;  and down to the harbour.   It was a bit breezy at the ‘arbour but I have  my sheltered spots for all wind directions.


This has been a much better day for me;  in fact at one point I felt like going out to play.   My breathing has been fine and I am staring to feel playful?..... yes I am getting over the ‘flu bug I had last week.  

The wind has moderated now... though it’s still a frisky old breeze.   I actually did a washing to take advantage of the wind.  The ironing will be done in the evening when watching the tele.

 

22.30     The wind has dropped away to only a light breeze.... and it’s warm for this time of year;  I hope it’s going to be like this tomorrow.   Alice coming to visit the ‘Royal Burrow’ tomorrow so I’ve had a run roond wi’ the ‘oover;  I thought aboot dustin ‘n polishin’ but couldn’t find the polish.   I made a cuppa and watched ‘Father Brown’ instead.

The ‘News’ , National and International, is all about Prince Harry, who has opened a


Pandora’s Box with his book “Spare”.   Washing family dirty linen in public is never a good idea;  that 'stuff' should be kept private.   However it’s too late now.   Actually it’s a good job he isn’t the elder son:  I can’t imagine Prince Harry as  our ‘King’.  Mind you all this dirty washing being made public might help bring the Royal Family, and their 'flunkies' into the real world.  That can't be bad.

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
