Breezy .....

4th May 2023 (Thursday)     09.00 .... it’s ‘bright and breezy’ (wind F5 ESE on


Largo Bay) with no precipitation predicted;  a good drying day, so I have a washing going through the machine.   There are a lot of clouds around making an interesting sky.... a good day for the camera.  

I don’t have to bother about food today as we (‘The Team’) are having lunch at the 19th Hole.  I’ll hang out the washing then have breakfast.

16.00    Lunch at the 19th was excellent (as always);  with good food and good company.   The ‘pub’ was quieter than expected but Thursday is one of the quietest days of the week:  which is why we pick Thursday for our lunch dates.

The first thing I noticed when we left the 19th was that the wind had freshened; and is much colder than when I walked up to the 19th.   In fact it’s bitterly cold now.

21.00    It has been bitterly cold all afternoon;  not that I experienced much of it, as the only time I went out after coming home from the 19th, was to bring in the washing.   Even though it was too cold to potter about outside I’ve enjoyed myself;  I had a long catnap and did some more drawing.   In fact I’m going to do some more drawing after this update.... and after another cuppa.


Heavy rain with a moderate wind off the East is our weather forecast for tomorrow;  which explains the raw feel to the wind this afternoon.   I’ll make a lot of progress with the drawing project;  and I won’t be going to the beach tomorrow morning, but might drop down to the harbour when I go for the paper.   I’ll be in the car.

22.45   The build up to the Coronation continues, with people already camping out along the processional route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.... and back to Buckingham Palace;  so the crowds will see all the pomp and pageantry twice. Think of the photograph opportunities if you are at the front of the crowds.  The day after Prince William and Kate were married, ‘JB’ and I walked The Mall (along with thousands of


others) because The Mall was still closed to traffic.... (and I have loads of photographs taken that day).   The weather forecast for the weekend is ‘mixed’.... but I hope not too bad for the campers.

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
