Misty and damp ...

7th May 2023 (Sunday)     09.30 .... We’ve had a lot of (much needed) rain


overnight and we still have occasional spells o’ drizzle, but it’s an improving sky so we should have sunny spells later.... probably round about lunch time.   I am actually thinking ‘bike’.... there’s a lot of water on the roads but it’s a calm (and warm) mornin....; so it all depends on how the weather situation develops.   I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;  now I am ready for breakfast.



10.00   The wind has freshened slightly  and the air feels colder with the wee bit wind chill off the sea;  so...the biking idea has been shelved and the kettle switched ‘on’.    I’ll go biking on Tuesday.... after the wind has veered to the West.  It's now time for  morrrrning coffee before loupin’ into action with the pencils.

20.00    I had a quiet day drawing, reading the paper and dozing in The Hutte.   We ended up with a bonnie afternoon but the haar was never far away .... you could feel it in the air, so I’m glad that I didn’t yield to temptation and go out on the bike.   I must admit I was sorely tempted.   Anyway I got a good bit of drawing done so I’m happy.   And I read ‘Oor Wullie and 'The Broons'.   No wonder I’m tired.


The weather for KY9 tomorrow is a bit iffy;  we’re down for ‘heavy rain and  a gentle breeze’....with the rain moving in by midnight tonight.   Pollen won’t be a problem.   It will be a good day to (it’s the last day) visit the History Society Exhibition in the Toll Green Hall tomorrow;   ‘Open’ from 10.00. - 16.00.   We should get 'sunny spells' in the afternoon.








22.45    I missed the first third of the Coronation Concert but what I did see was impressive;  all of the entertainers were famous names  (some I’ve never even heard of) but everyone at Windsor seemed to know all of them:  the crowd certainly enjoyed themselves including King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family.    Luckily Alice phoned me to remind me that it was ‘on’ or I would have missed the whole show.

I’m havin’ a ‘JT’ (Janice Toddie) before going to bed as I seem to have the beginnings of


a cold;  and I don’t want that.   Put another way;  if I do have a cold I want rid of it before next weekend.   Must ‘go’ flap on... JT to make!

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
