Lovely morrrrrrrrning.....

9th July 2023 (Sunday)   07.15 .... Although overcast and damp just now, the sun

'Jo' on the fourth tee.

is beginning to burn off the cloud (we could have an interesting sky as the clouds break up) to leave us with the weather that is forecast for KY9 today;   ‘sunny with a gentle breeze’.   I’ll do any biking later in the afternoon; Sunday is going to be a quiet ‘rest day’.

19.45   It has been a bonnie summer’s day.... as was forecast ....so Jo and I went up to the seat at the seventeenth green to enjoy a pleasant half hour watching the golfers.   Some of the ‘Thistle’ members were the first to arrive at the 17th the green, including Jock (sometimes John) and Mike; Jock couldn’t hang around as he had to go back home to get Honor’s breakfast ready.   He missed his putt.    The course was looking ‘bright and beautiful’ with colourful golfers dotted all around.... even in the rough..


Back at Ivy we (Jo and me) had ‘morrrrrrning coffee’ while putting the world to rights.   Jo is off home tomorrow;  (‘home’ being the cosy Isle of Wight)... it has been good having her visit and I’m already looking forward to the next time.

I intended going out on the bike this evening but changed and will go out early in the morrrrrrning when the roads are quieter.    Ferry Road has been busy today;  not surprising considering the sunny and warm afternoon.... a perfect day for the beach;  and the golf course.

22.00   I see that tomorrow’s weather forecast for KY 9 has been updated; from ‘light rain showers and a gentle breeze’’ to ‘thundery showers and a gentle breeze’.   The morning is forecast to be bright and sunny (I’m going out on the bike early); with a chance thundery showers after midday.

I’ve enjoyed a visit from Jo today, did some more drawing.... and watched the Tour in the


afternoon:  now I am ready for bed and a bit o’ reading.   I’m planning on going out on the bike on a bright and sunny Monday morning.

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
