Nice morning ....

19th June 2023 (Monday)      07.00 .... The rain has moved away and, although


we have lot of cloud about,  it looks like we could have warm and sunny day by lunchtime: ‘light rain showers with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast.    I didn’t hear any thunder during the night;  the nearest lightning strikes being  SW of Edinburgh (Gorebridge).   Anyway we have blue patches starting to appear in the sky..... the countryside will look fresh after the rain; ..... and the kettle has boiled.   It’s a ‘play day’.

09.45   I decided to go for a wander up to the seat at the 17th green for a change o’ scenery;  when I got there, feeling slightly ambitious, I went for the Pony field and golf course.   It was a bit o’ a struggle as it’s not a good ‘breathing day’.... however I fancied the exercise, the golf course was looking colourful after the rain.... and I could see a load o’ photographs that I wanted.    It was a slow wander but I did it and I’m happy with the photographs.    Today is now a ‘rest’ day.


12.15   I’ve been for the paper, and handed in my prescription;  did some ‘ousework then had a browse of today's photographs.   The next thing I need to do is have a lite bite lunch.... a roll with salad stuff on it is what I fancy;  and I have the ingredients.   The afternoon will be spent drawing/ resting.




21.00   It has been a bonnie day.... we even had some nae bad lookin’ clouds;  and a short sharp shower out of one of them.  I didn’t go out again; this morning’s exercise was enough.

My bike is being picked up on Wednesday afternoon so I’ll be back in action soon: that said, it depends on what needs doing.  I’m having to use a new bike repair man (from Largoward); ‘2 Wheel Care’ in Pitscottie is ‘Permanently Closed’ according to their website.   It’s just as well the bike is out of action, my shed needs to be moved about 18 inches or so.   That isn’t very much;  it’s making it light enough to move that’s the problem.   I have set up the outside table so that I can put stuff under it and on top of it,

My teabag squeezing hands.

then cover it with a big plastic sheet I have... in case of inclement weather.   This will be the shove I needed to get the shed emptied.  Actually, if the shed isn’t moved too far I’ll leave it in its new position.   ‘The Boy’ shall be in ‘flap on’ mode for the next few days... and probably have a few visits to the ‘dump’ at Pittenweem.

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

 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
