Cloudy .....

9th June 2023 (Friday)     08.45 .... The clouds is still with us, but there’s a more


broken look to it so we should see the sun by lunch time.   It’s a quiet morning; even the birds seem fed up of a grey sky!   I’ve been for the paper then up to Chapel Green.... the plan being to flatten the bike battery.    The battery went pfffffffffft just as I went onto Ferry Road at the Links Road junction (the phone box);   only 50 yards from the front gate.      I’m ready for breakfast now.



19.15    For some reason I went into ‘work’ mode today... as in ‘ousework’ mode.  As it was a perfect drying day I did a washing;  and then washed the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors.   Doing the floors is my least favourite job around the house...but today was a good day for doing them.   I didn’t enjoy doing the floors; but was content, and happy, after they were done.   After that I went out to The Hutte and did a Soduko.... and fell asleep.

The bike battery is fully charged and ready for Balcarres....probably on Monday.   Tomorrow Alice is coming along and we’re going to ‘Bowhouse’ to have a browse;  on Sunday we should have some bonnie clouds as there’s a yellow warning for thunderstorms includes Fife.... making Monday the day for biking to Balcarres.

'Well Safe Guardian' in Largo Bay.

We’ve had a sunny day; and the cool onshore breeze;  but with the temperatures forecast for the UK tomorrow we’ll be glad of the onshore breeze: maybe not.  The sunshine without extreme heat would do me fine.  That said, I bought fresh sun cream the other day... so bring it on: if it’s too hot I’ll lash on the sun cream.... and fall asleep.

It’s a nice evening;  I night have a wander to the beach.... after I have a cuppa.   Having said that; today has been a ‘bad breathing’ day... so it depends on how cool the fresh onshore breeze is.

22.00   The forecasters have been forecasting hot weather for Sunny Sussex, but it isn’t hot here tonight;  the wind freshened and its cold.   I’m happy at the end of what has been a funny old day for me; I mean getting into ‘work’ mode on a play day.... that’s not me.   I’m looking forward meeting Alice off the bus tomorrow and going to ‘browse’ Bowhouse, having never been to a ‘Bowhouse’ weekend.

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
