Warm ... 12C.....

17th March 2023 (Friday) ..... “ St Patrick’s Day” ... have an enjoyable one wherever you are.

09.00.... The first thing I noticed when I stepped out this morning was how warm it is...


12C on the thermometer.   It’s a balmy morning with only a light breeze and .... sunny spells;  also a ‘low chance of precipitation in the way of light showers’ later.   A bonnie morning ... I might take the bike out if the showers miss us.

14.30    It’s a warm, balmy day and I have been busy.   After picking the paper, I continued on to ‘The Store’ (Anstruther) and did a wee shopping... ‘wee’ in quantity.... big on cost.  Considering the time I was surprised to find ‘The Store’ busy.    Anyway I did the shopping and came home by the ‘back’ road (Kellie Castle), where I was held up by temporary traffic lights at the end of the Colinsburgh Straight;  that bit has been needing patched for a while.    I arrived home at morning coffee time;  which was handy ‘cos I’d bought Coffee Buns.   After putting the messages away I enjoyed coffee and a bun.


With it being a nice day I decided to do the kitchen, bathroom and lobby floors.... not my favourite job but one that has to be done.   However I took ‘time out’ before doing the floors, and biked up to Chapel Green.   

I enjoyed my run up to Chapel Green, but felt slightly guilty when sitting on Maggie’s Seat, so didn’t hang around too long.   The floors had to be done!   And they have been so I can relax with a cuppa and a bit o’ Cherry Cake.

19.30   It has been a gorgeous day;  Blob has been twittering so he’s ‘in love’, the Wood Pigeons are starting get amorous, and my daffy down dillies have opened;   Spring is


coming.   Mind you this is March and we could have some cold weather yet.   We have light rain at the moment... and have had for a wee while.

As usual I am tired after an enjoyable day.   Iain and Jackie are arriving early tomorrow morrrning so I’ll go to bed fairly early and read a bit more of my book.

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
