Quiet morrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

3rd May 2023 (Wednesday)    08.00.... the Fife Weather cams are mostly


showing an overcast sky.... but there are promising signs on the Kinghorn camera.    Just now we have a calm peaceful morning;  yes, the sky is overcast, but there’s only a light breeze so nae wind chill to bother about .... and I’m expecting sunny spells by lunch time.  If I thought it would work I’d skip breakfast and have an early lunch!   It is a nice morning ....and the air feels warm;  I might have a wander to the beach before the wind freshens.

10.00    The tide was out and the sun breaking through as I enjoyed a slow wander along to the Cockstail Rocks then up to the bents, where I met Angela, out for a morning walk with Alfie.   Angela and I caught up with each other’s ‘news, then went our separate ways home, for breakfast.    It is warm and I was wrapped up ready for a cold snap;  the cold snap never came and I ended up swe ... er ... perspiring.   I’ve had breakfast.... now I’m thinkin’ morning coffee!


21.00    It’s been a pleasant day.... especially the morning.   The onshore breeze freshened after lunch and took a couple o’ degrees off the temperature.... but I was in the Hutte and well out of any breeze.

I am looking forward to watching the Coronation on Saturday;  I’m going along to Alice’s to watch it on her big screen tele.  Oh I know all the talk about the money being spent on the Coronation could be better spent elsewhere: personally I think the money we spend on Trident could be better spent elsewhere ....and .... I can’t think of a single politician that I’d like to be President of the UK.  Actually I have thought of one politician that I’d like as our President....Jacinda Ahern.   Unfortunately she is a New Zealander!   Anyway I am looking forward to Saturday (yes I am a Royalist); no country can do pomp and pageantry like the good old UK.   Alice and I have our Union Flag plates and mugs etc.... and Elderflower fizzy stuff (non alcoholic).  We will enjoy watching an historic event. 

It’s going to be cloudier and windier tomorrow.... but no mention of precipitation.   ‘The


Team’ (Kirsty, Myra and me) are going to the 19th for lunch tomorrow..... Geoff would have been 80 this month.

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
