Sunny spells ....

 

13th January 2022 (Friday)    09.00 .... its not the bonniest of mornings... the


sky is mostly overcast, with a ‘clear sooth’ (usually means rain within 12 hours), but I’m anticipating a good drying day so have a bedding wash going through the machine.   I’m a happy boy.   No other plan as yet, but when the ‘sunny spells’ come I might get the bike out.

18.45    I didn’t get the bike out.... but the washing dried ‘in nae time’, and has been ironed.   It was the perfect drying day.    Mind you I’m not that keen on ironing big sheets but I they have been done so I am content.   I should say ‘tired and content’.  

I took the car up to Elie for the paper.... and had wander round the kirkyard (and photographed the kirk tae bits) when I went to visit the Memorial Garden.   The graveyards of Kinneuchar and Elie are full of departed family and friends.... but the memories are alive and sharp.   I wasn’t being maudlin’.... I just fancied a wander round to the Garden.


Slight moan ahead.   Rishi Sunak and Nicola Sturgeon had a constructive meeting in Inverness;  at long last we have a ‘grown up’ conversation between the UK and Scottish Leaders.   Now if ‘grown up’ spread to both Parliaments we might get somewhere.   In times of crisis Party politics just doesn’t work.  Moan over.  



22.30   I’ve had a satisfying day;  though I flagged a bit in the evening..... I fell asleep.   Nothing new there right enough;  but I was watching Sean Batty at the time and missed the last 10 minutes.

The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’ for tomorrow... ‘light showers and a fresh breeze’


should give us some interesting clouds.   I forgot to make an appointment to have my haircut;  with me having a bug in the weeks before the Christmas its overdue.

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
