Cool NW breeze ....

4th August 2023 (Friday)    09.45.... the cool NW breeze made the air chilly


this morrrrning... but the sun is up and the air much warmer now.    It’s a lovely morrrrrning  so I think I’ll have my morning coffee break up at Chapel Green.   The weather forecast is ‘good’ with the early morning showers fading away by lunch time.   I might have my morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee break up at Chapel Green today.





16.45   I haven’t been up to Chapel Green yet;  I got diverted by a sudden desire to detach a few weeds from Mother Earth and send them for a holiday in the ‘broon’ bucket next Friday.  I don’t have much of a garden just now but the weeds in the bits of garden I do have, are very healthy weeds.... and in need of a ‘holiday’.   I’m hoping to go up to Chapel Green after this update.  The urge to pull weeds has left me. 

19.00    I’ll go biking tomorrow morning;  I ended up pullin’ a few more weeds.  I’ve also been working in The Hutte; so have had a productive day.  I was going to put ‘very productive’ but I don’t do very productive nowadays.


Ferry Road has been busy this afternoon;  I’m assuming it’s people coming back after being somewhere in the car: if it’s more cars coming in, parking will be a big problem this weekend.  The villages of the East Neuk are all busy:  all the roads I call ‘my quiet roads’ are busy: Even my ‘quiet biking places’ are busy. Has ‘change’ happened faster all  round the East Neuk in the past few years;  or is it just me growing older?   Older?.... me?.... no it can’t be that!


20.30   I’ve been watching the Cycling World Championships from the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome (Glasgow);  I don’t think I could get out of the electronic start gate!   I have the right shape o’ butt;  but it isnae muscle!

Thundery showers and gentle breeze is the weather forecast for us tomorrow; that means


sunny spells in between any showers that might come our way.   I am happy enough with that.   I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day; but it has caught up with me and I am tired now; but it’s a contented tiredness.

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
