Warm for the time of year ....

14th January 2023 (Saturday)     07.15.... Even though it’s raining just now


it’s not cold;  but it is dreich.   However the light rain is forecast to give way to ‘sunny spells and light rain showers’ by mid morning.   It could be a ‘play’ day.   The weather is going to turn much colder from tomorrow.

15.15   I fancied a walk in a wood after lunch so I went to Balcarres and had a walk round a bit of the ‘Woodland Walk’.... in between showers.   It had to be a short walk because the showers were frequent ...with only a short sunny spell between them.    I should have gone out in the morning.,   Anyway I enjoyed my short daunder, and got some photographs to ‘play’ with, so I’m happy.   I’d have been even happier with a long sunny spell!

21.15    Jings...the wind freshened a couple of hours ago and we now have a wild night.   I don’t think it’s raining... not heavily anyway as I don’t hear rain hitting the window.  There is a Yellow warning out for Fife but it isn’t for wind!.... it’s for ice: starting at 22.00 tonight through to 10.00 tomorrow morning.   That means it’s going to be cold tomorrow; but, thankfully, the wind is going to moderate overnight.   There is going to be a frisky breeze, with long sunny intervals, ‘ra morra’ so there will be wind chill.   Yep.... it’s going to be a ‘bonnie but wrap up well’ kind of day.


This has been a strange day for me;  I haven’t been down to the harbour.     The only time I went anywhere was when I went to Balcarres in the afternoon.    Oh ...and I had a migraine just before lunch.   I couldn’t understand why that happened then I happened to look at the barometer.... it was down at 976.    So it, the migraine, was brought on by the rapid change in pressure.   I’m a happy boy ...the barometer is starting to rise.  Gradual changes in the barometric pressure don’t bother me.... it’s the sudden big changes that bring on migraines.

Not only have I not been to the harbour.... I haven’t done any ‘work’ at all today.   It has


been a lazy day in front of the TV or computer mostly.    I’ll be a bundle o’ active atoms tomorrow....I hope it isn’t too cold.   It’s amazing when you think about it:  billions of atoms conglomerated together make all living thing: Sadly, the human, supposedly intelligent ‘life form’, spends much of its time inventing ways to blow all the atoms, that make up a human body, apart.... and destroy life!   How sad is that!   

I’m orf to make the chocolate then find something to watch on the tele.   I’m a ‘happy boy’ tonight;  looking forward to a sunny day 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
