Bonnie sky ....

20th September 2023 (Wednesday)     08.30.... We have an interesting sky


this morning.... “thundery showers and strong winds” is the weather forecast..... so we have bonnie clouds:  that said when the clouds deposit their innards it is wet, therefore maybe not a good bike day.  The wind is to freshen in the afternoon. 

11.45   It’s a bonnie morning between the heavy showers.... and it’s surprisingly warm, even in the wind.   I’ve been for the paper and got an appointment to have my haircut... at 13.10.  With time in hand, I decided to go to ‘The Store’ (Anstruther) to top up the food cupboard.   I met Elizabeth (Meacher) in the shop and she was telling me that she and Graham enjoyed the Vintage Rally at Fyvie Castle (Aberdeenshire).   


Roadworks are still ongoing at the Store, with temporary traffic lights in operation;  they change fairly quickly so not that much of a nuisance.   I came home by way of the ‘back road’ for a change of scene.  I’m now thinkin’ that I might take a turn round the Ferry .... if there are no threatening shower clouds nearby.

19.45   I forgot about the wind freshening in the afternoon so never went out on the bike:  anyway, the most important happening today was.... getting my haircut.   I feel much more comfortable.   My hair seems to be growing faster nowadays; as do my finger and toe nails.   I kind of thought i might go out once the wind moderated later in the afternoon/evening, but showers began to come over so I shelved all thoughts of going out.   The forecast is ‘good’ or tomorrow morning so I’ll go then.

I did some more research and have found another drawing I might do.... it would be a


combination of two old photographs and a sketch (Kinneuchar).   It would fit in with the Kinneuchar Project ... and could be added on at the end so isn’t a priority:  just another challenge.

Tomorrow I am visiting Alice; she needs tormenting before going away for a few days with Izzy (her daughter).    Alice told me where they were going but I’ve forgotten.... somewhere on the ‘sooth side’ I know that.

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
