Overcast and damp ....

5th April 2023 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... Hmmmmmm.... the sky is overcast


and we have light drizzle: looking on the ‘bright’ side, there’s nae dust to get into our eyes.   This is going to be a ‘rest day’ for me.... well no’ quite;  Janice and I are going shopping (Sainsbury’s in Leven).   Michael is staying at home studying.   I am feeling ‘fairly frisky’, even though there’ a lack of oxygen in the air.   There’s only a light breeze from the Southerly direction.... and it isn’t cold.   Just damp.

12.30    Janice and I have been to Leven shopping;  funnily enough Sainsbury’s wasn’t that busy.   People are being more choosy in where they shop and what they buy when they do go out.   The roads were busy on the way home;  and our wee villages are already busy, so should be really really busy over the Easter weekend.  Anyway the shopping has been done and I can now bein my ‘rest day’.   Janice is going for a walk, Michael is working... and I am contemplating going out on the bike, and I do the lunch dishes.... i.e. load the dishwasher).

19.30    I never went out .... either on the bike or in the car;  I have had a funny old day....I think the efforts of the past few days have finally caught up.   Janice had a walk up to Elie to the shops... and I had originally intended going out on the bike at the same time, but came the time I just didn’t have the energy.


I have an appointment with Laurie (Nurse) at the surgery tomorrow morrrrrrrrning (blood test);  it’s at 08.50 so an early start..  Michael is studying and Janice is his Secretary so they are busy just now; I am i/c dishes and they are going through the washer as I type. Its hard work bein’ me!

We have ‘nae plans’ for tomorrow; according to the weather forecast the weekend is going to be ‘sunny’ but not necessarily warm as the wind could be off the North Sea.   There’s variable forecast for the wind direction.

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
