Overcast sky....

12th February 2023 (Sunday)  08.45.... It’s a grey, lacklustre looking


morning... but hey ho;   sunny intervals are mentioned in our weather forecast so it should brighten up.  

I’m vertical... but choked up with a cold!  It wouldn’t be the eye rest that upset my eyeballs;  I was coming down with this cold.   Oh well.... it’s a stay in and stay warm day. I have loads o’ projects to play about with... and loads o’ food, milk etc. so I’m happy.  Funnily enough I feel better now that this cold has broken....not as headachy and my eyes are normal.    It’s breakfast time.

11.30    So far this day has been another ‘rest day’.   Oh.... I did a COVID test and it came up ‘clear’ so it is a cold that I have:  it’s not the ‘flu  because I don’t have any sore muscles.   When I think about that I don’t think I have much in the way of muscles that could be sair.   It’s a nice enough day now;  if the sun breaks through I might take a walk to the beach.... after lunch; I haven't lost my appetite.


19.00   I eventually went to the beach at gloamin’ time;  it was braw... and the beach was busier than I expected.   The sky was interesting so that was well photographed.   I’d been watching England v Italy at Twickenham.....it wisnae the best o’ games so I gave up on that.








21.30   I fell asleep watching ‘Digging for Britain’ (Prof Alice Roberts) one of my favourite watches on the tele .... so I am now sipping the bedtime chocolate before having an early night.   I’ll have to miss Jean’s (Forgan) funeral tomorrow but I’ll pay


my respects at the graveside later in the week.  Another ‘rest day’ and the worst of the old will be past.   The weather forecast is good for tomorrow;  in fact if I feel really good and it’s warm enough I might go round the villages on the bike.







Finally I want bring to your attention something we could do for a local autistic boy.... here are the details as posted on Facebook by his mother:

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
