Slightly cooler ....

18th May 2023 (Thursday)      08.15 .... it’s slightly cooler, but the sun is


working on the clouds so it should be brighter and warmer in a wee while.  Because it was cool I only went ‘roond the Ferry’ this morning;  there was a bonnie ‘light’ with an interesting sky so I have a batch o’ photographs to ‘play’ with tonight.     I think an early morrrrrning coffee would be a good idea.





17.30   I’ve had a ‘lazy’ day with Alice;  we enjoyed scoffing the last of her birthday cake, .... and a some birthday chocolates; oh .... and chatting.  I don’t know how she puts up wi’ me.... but we bumble along happily, and in ‘nae time it’s time for me to set off for home. 
 I’ve had a ‘thundery headache’ for the past couple of hours.... but that should clear once we have some rain somewhere.  Tomorrow will be a rest day!... and tonight an early night in bed.

20.30    The North of Italy is being clobbered with thunder storms and flooding:  there’s no doubt that there has been a big change in the weather systems, all over the world, in the past 50 years or so.  What will it be like after another 50?  By that time the world might be run by an oligarchy (right wing to suit Western democracy):   you know... a group of people running the world to suit their own purposes:  a bit like Great Britain (monarchy) did with ‘the Empire’. 


My thundery headache has gone and I’m now feeling playful .... but too tired to actually play.  Tomorrow is going to be ‘sunny with a moderate breeze’;  good ‘playing’ weather.... a good drying day because there’s no mention of precipitation!

I found an ant (my first) wandering around a windowsill in Alice’s today.   That was exciting.  Apart from said ant I’ve had a relaxing and enjoyable day.  After I go out early on the bike tomorrow morning for the paper, I’m going to have a totally lazy day drawing...... and having cuppas .... in The Hutte.

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
