Cold wind....

4th March 2023 (Saturday)     10.00....I hung out a washing a few minutes


ago.... and I can tell you that it is not warm out: and very cold on the hands hanging out a wet washing.   However I’m feeling in ‘working mode’ this morrrrning... hence the washing.   The weather forecaster, talking about next week’s weather, mentioned ‘snow’.   That isn’t unexpected in the month of March;  a bit disappointing when looking for the daffy-down-dillies to open;  but always good for cloud photographs.  The photo above was taken on the 1st of March 2018.   March can be a tricky month for weather.   I don’t think the weather forecasters are predicting that kind of weather for us this year but ... you never know.

20.00    The ‘working mode’ feeling was a bit.... sporadic would be the best way to describe it.   That said when I was in working mode I did ‘nae bad’.   I got rid of some stuff lying around the garden, so the ‘bloo’ bucket is almost full and will be going out next ‘bloo’ bucket day: Friday March 10th according to the Fife Bin Calendar web page.   That can change.


In the afternoon I thought the air had warmed up so I ventured down to the beach.... which was unexpectedly busy considering that it was much colder than I thought it was going to be.   ‘Skye’ brought Chris and Barbara down to the beach for their afternoon exercise;  they were going up to Chapel Green and the golf course.   I was ready to go home by this time;  there was a cold kettle at Ivy that wanted warming up and I know how to do it!  Although I wasn’t down at the beach very long both sky and beach were busy, so I got some bonnie photographs. 


22.00   According to Louise (the weather forecaster) Monday and Tuesday are the days when we are most likely to experience wintry weather.   I thought she was going to say that “KY9 was going to be calm with long, warm sunny spells”, but she didn’t.  I’m looking for sunny spells tomorrow morning.... in spite of the forecast for KY9 being’ light rain and a gentle breeze’.

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
