Heavy mist ....

7th June 2023 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... As we’ve done for the past few days we

'Muircambus Meal Mill'.

are waiting for the sun to break through the cloud that has drifted in from the North Sea overnight.   That said that none of the Fife Weather cams have encouraging signs; so it looks like it could be midday (or later) before the sun appears.   There’s only a light breeze .... it’s the direction that’s the problem (ENE).

12.45    I had planned to go to Balcarres today but the sun is struggling to break through;  I haven’t given up hope of seeing the sun, but it looks like being late in the afternoon before that happens.   I’ve been out in The Hutte drawing and now feel in the need of some exercise

I’ve made a dental appointment (7th July) to have a check up:  this is overdue because of me having long COVID.   My teeth aren’t bothering me but I’d like them scraped and cleaned.... and I’m feeling brave.   Dental appointments have never bothered my but I am feeling apprehensive about this one.

I don’t know whether to get the bike out and set off for Balcarres:  I’d hope for a brighter day for the camera.   The longer range weather forecast for the East coast is much the same as it has been for the past few days; low cloud and a cool breeze.  However, the sky appears to be brightening up a wee bit;  I’ll have a lite bite lunch then review the situation.   I like that bit ‘review the situation’.  

19.30    Having 'reviewed the situation' when the sun broke through in the middle of the afternoon....I went out on the bike, but didn’t go to Balcarres.   Instead of Balcarres I did a round of some of the local countryside spots that I visit now and again.... the distance travelled would be the same as Balcarres so I’m happy.   The countryside has the freshness of ‘youth’ at this time (I remember it well); it was good exploring the out of the way corners again.... and I can report that all is good in the ‘out of the way’ corners. 

22.30   I’ve had a busy and productive day (finished drawing the Balcony Floor plan ... including the pews etc).   We had a bonnie sunset so should have a bonnie day

tomorrow.... ‘light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast.

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
