Light showers .....

27th August 2023 (Sunday)      07.30 .... That was disappointing: When I first


looked out Ferry Road was dry;  by the time I’d showered and got ready to go on the bike a shower (they are mentioned in the forecast for today) had drifted over.    I’ll have another cuppa because I’m feeling positive .... and it’s only a light shower: Light rain showers, with a light breeze, is the weather forecast for KY9.


10.30    Not only did I go to Elie for the paper;  I actually got the paper!   It’s a quiet kind o’ morning,  but the threat of light showers has been changed to ‘thundery showers’....I’m not liking that.  The sun is trying hard to break through and we should have sunny spells soon;  hopefully the thundery showers will miss us.  The bike battery is being charged in anticipation of a bonnie afternoon/evening.   


15.30    The showers have been annoying;  but I’ve made good progress with the pencils.... and I’m still looking forward to getting out for exercise in the evening.   I came in to have a cuppa and check out where the thunder storms are.  So far we have missed the thunder, only catching bits of the showers: just now thunder storms are active from Yorkshire, down the East coast of England and in the southern part of the North Sea.... so the evening might be dry.   The nearest thunder storms (to us) are around Carlisle.



19.15    Now that the bike has a fully charged battery I’d hoped to go out this evening, but the threat of showers made me change my mind:  I’ll have a decent ‘paper run’ tomorrow morning;  assuming that the showers have moved away and the sun is set at ‘warm’.   ‘Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ is the forecast.

The inclement weather meant that I had a good day with my pencils;  I meant to take a


photograph of the latest drawing but got side tracked.  I’ll do all that tomorrow before I go along to Methil to visit Alice, who is housebound with a sore knee.

Forget yesterday’s comment about Nadine;  I read the resignation letter that she sent to the Prime Minister.   I wonder if she sends Christmas cards?

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
