Peaceful morning .....

17th April 2023 (Monday)    07.30....The thermometer is at 11C already on an


overcast balmy morning.   The weather forecast for KY9 is ....nae  pause (I’m fed up o’ those (stupid) long pauses)....’light cloud with a moderate breeze from the ENE’.   With  low cloud drifting in from the North Sea we’ll be lucky if we get sunny spells’ today;  however it’s a bonnie morning in a non sunny kind of way.  

09.00    I’m feeling playful this morning.... and will take a turn round the village after breakfast;  I’d go further but the battery on the bike is ‘low’, it will be put on charge after aforementioned trip round The Ferry.   To be honest I sort of expected to feel ....wellll .. not playful today, after having the booster jab on Saturday.  I’m a ‘happy boy’. 


14.30    I’m even happier now;  I remembered that it was Monday and ‘Crane In’ at the harbour... and it was a perfect day for it.... nae wind and nae rain.   The harbour is now ‘alive’ and ready for another season.   I had a run up to Chapel Green  on the way home.   I have also been drawing, but that abandoned that ‘plan’ when I remembered it was ‘Crane In’:  I’ll get back to the drawing after I have a cuppa.






20.30    After ‘Crane In’ I did a bit more drawing but faded a bit and have spent most of the afternoon dozing off and on in front of the tele. Having said that I have been much more active than I expected to be today;  mind you, the fact that there was activity at the harbour got me into ‘flap on’ state... and on the bike, with the camera, in ‘nae time’.   However I think tomorrow is going to be a ‘drawing’ day.... with no ‘diversions: I had to take a couple o’ paracetamol for a headache that’s come on.

The sky became heavily overcast in the afternoon and the onshore breeze took a couple


of degrees off the temperature.   That will also be the case for the next few days;  the place to be is on the West coast.

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
