Bright and breezy .... and so is the weather

3rd July 2023 (Monday)     08.00 .... It’s a bright and breezy morrrrrrrrrrrrning


....  and cooler than it should be: and I’ve got the bike back in action  and  want warm(er) summer weather,  not the hint of Autumn that was in the air earlier.    Actually it’s a lovely morning but I’ll do any biking in the late afternoon or early evening;  by that time, I’m hoping, the wind will have moderated.   Right now its breakfast time.... and I’m hungry.

20.00     The wind didn’t moderate as much as I’d hoped so I didn’t go out on the bike.... but I haven’t wasted the time: I did some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ with intermittent breaks to watch Stage 3 of the Tour in the afternoon.   In the morrrrrrrning I went to Methil to have a cuppa with Alice; after the cuppa we went to the Bargain Store to do some shopping... then back up to Alice’s for a blether followed by lunch.  I was back at Ivy in time to bring in the washing I’d hung out first thing this morning.  I was half expecting heavy showers this afternoon that never materialised... but the sky is starting to look more threatening now so we might get rain overnight.


23.00   Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day for me... a rest day.   I’m looking forward to Jo coming for a chat in the morning, then I’ll spend the afternoon drawing.  If the weather forecast is as per forecast it will be a good day for ‘catching up with Jo’s news.... and the drawing.   Actually I might do a bit more ‘ousework in the morning;  sort of de-man cave Ivy before Jo arrives.  Stage 4 is on the tele in the afternoon:  I’ll have that on and watch it now and again when I’m drawing.   Busy day tomorrow.

I’ve had an enjoyable day ... a busy and enjoyable day.  I’d have liked to go biking but the weather dictates when I go biking nowadays;  actually I’m looking forward to the weather settling down again.... but not as hot as it was in June.   My word the planet is in a perilous state; and all that some politicians appear do is worry about ‘the Party’.   I don’t know what our planet will be like by the end of this century, but I do know we need politicians (the world over), that recognise the desperate state of ‘Mother Earth’.... and that they are the ones to do something about it now: even if it means going against the selfishness of ‘a Party'. There’s a planet that needs to be saved for future generations.  All you have to do is think "Grandchildren"! My word I feel better now.    Apologies to anyone I might have annoyed!

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
