Bright and breezy ....

5th July 2023 (Wednesday)     “Happy Birthday” to ‘The Boss’ (Maggie) who would have been 82 today....   If the weather is agreeable ‘we’ will have afternoon coffee at Chapel Green.

08.15    It’s ‘bright breezy’ just now but light showers are mentioned in the weather

Grange Road houses.

forecast for KY9.   There’s a 50/50 mix of blue sky and clouds at the moment.... and I have a washing to hang out;  however an extra rinse won’t do  washing any harm if a ‘light shower’ does come our way.  

19.45   We had the kind of ‘light shower’ day that I like;  shower clouds to photograph but no showers.   And my washing dried so I’m a happy boy.

Theresa (Alice’s daughter), wanted to borrow an easel so I took that along to Alice.... and enjoyed coffee, lunch and an interesting  morning chatting, with Alice, Theresa and Lucas (Alice’s grandson).  An enjoyable morning passed in ‘nae time’....and we each went our separate ways.  I was back at Ivy by 14.00  and ‘resting’ in front of the tele by 14.20.   At 15.00, the weather being extremely agreeable, I made a mug o’ coffee and went up to Chapel Green to


celebrate the Boss’s birthday.   It was good seeing Chapel Green being for various activities.... including one very fit family (from South Africa)’: I felt quite ‘jealous’ then remembered that I’d been very fit too, up until a few years ago:  so I sat back and enjoyed watching all the activity.   Maggie would have been happy  seeing Chapel Green being ‘alive’ with happy people.   By this time I remembered that I hadn’t done any ‘ousework; and I went back home and did a bit of ooverin’ and dustin’.

22.30    It has been a lovely day and I have enjoyed it.... and tomorrow is forecast to be


sunny in the morning with cloud moving across in the afternoon;  it should be  a nice enough day.   I’ll go for the paper early in the morning then have a quiet day drawing and watching Stage 6 of ‘le Tour’ now and again.

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
