Cool easterly breeze ....

22nd July 22023 (Saturday)     09.30 .... It’s a lovely morrrrrrning;  but there’s


a cool easterly breeze; however, once the sun breaks through it should be pleasantly warm;  but, unfortunately, not as warm as it should  be at this time of year.   I did a tour of the villages... and Elie Estate ....when I went for the paper this morning;   I also remembered to go for the paper.   



19.15    The villages are busy;  I don’t think I saw a spare parking space in the Ferry when I was out earlier.   It’s good that the villages busy, after all it is the middle of the holiday season;  it’s just a pity the weather isn’t as it should be in July.   What have I been doing?....I’ve been busy;  jumping between watching the golf on ‘Sky Go’ (computer) and Stage 20 of ‘le Tour’ on the tele..... and popping out to ‘work’ in The Hutte at regular intervals.   I’d kinda half thought I’d get out on the bike in the evening but the weather is not agreeing with me.... so I’ll have another cuppa and watch the golf.   I can work on the computer and watch the golf at the same time;  the golf is in one corner of the monitor screen and  my 'work' in another corner.    I'm likin' this!


20.30   ‘Le Tour’ finishes in Paris tomorrow;  it has been a quick three weeks for us viewers;  and seriously hard work for the competitors.   It will literally be ‘back to the drawing board’ for me.  I don’t watch much ‘sport’ nowadays; rugby, cycling and golf are about it.   If the weather improves I’ll get out on the bike more now the bike is fixed.

No ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  the weather for our area is supposed to be ‘nae bad’.   Rain is forecast for the Borders and down to the Midlands of England... but that weather is not supposed to bother us.   We’re to have ‘the chance of showers and sunny spells’.... and cool for July.

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
