Overcast, peaceful morning....

27th February 2023 (Monday)   08.00....The sky is overcast just now but we


should have ‘sunny spells’ before morrrrrrrrning coffee time.   There’s only a light breeze (F1 on Well Safe Guardian) from the Northerly direction so, although light, it a cool breeze (2C on the garden thermometer).   I might go out on the bike in the middle of the day.... when the air is a bit warmer.

11.00   I’ve been up to Elie to hand in my prescription, and had a run down to the harbour in the car.  It’s bitterly cold out, so I very much doubt if I’ll be out on the bike; unless the temperature rises dramatically when the sunny spells arrive.   Actually there isn’t much sign of them coming our way until after midday.  The Harbour beach is having the seaweed removed this morning;  always a sign that the holiday season is coming.   Easter Sunday is on the 9th April.



17.00    We might get lucky and see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) tonight;  as we have seen on the News it was visible as far south as Kent last night.   Michael phoned to tell me about it, but I was in my PJ’s by then:  I went out into the garden and could see it faintly but the best of it had been earlier.   It’s cloudy just now so it all depends on the sky clearing.   I won’t go to bed early just in case.

It has been bitterly cold all day so I never went out on the bike:  however I went up to Elie a second time in the car;  I’d forgotten the paper and I fancied a change of scene.   This has been another rest day, after a restless night last night;  mind you I have kinda made up for that by falling asleep in front of the tele.

21.00    Even if the Aurora is active tonight there’s little chance of us seeing it:  when I went out a few minutes ago it was raining... so it’s time to make the chocolate and browse the TV Channels.   I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow; the weather forecast is much


the same as today’s,.... plus a ‘low chance of precipitation’ on the East Coast.  I won’t be going out on the bike even if I do feel playful.

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
