Cool .....

23rd September 2023 (Saturday)     Autumnal Equinox.  

 08.45  I was expecting a sunnier start to Saturday;  it’s cloudy at the moment and not very

Incharvie Equestrian 'troops'.

warm....I’ll go out once the sun breaks through and the air warmer.  Sunny intervals and a gentle breeze is the forecast for today but there’s Yellow Warning for heavy rain on Sunday.

15.45   The sun never really made a breakthrough;  in fact the weather has been disappointing.... I was looking for a few ‘sunny spells’ not blinks of sunshine.   I eventually went out on the bike in the afternoon;  only to Chapel Green, Kinneuchar and Incharvie.   It was not warm but I was well wrapped up and enjoyed the exercise.  It started to spit rain on the way home.  Heavy rain is forecast for Sunday afternoon through to midnight the period covered by the Yellow Warning.

18.45    I’ve had reasonable day as far as doing stuff goes: I had hoped to get up to Balcarres on the bike but the weather was not favourable.... and that upset the Owlbert apple cart.  I’m hoping to find something decent to watch on the tele this evening....something relaxing.


The villages appear to be busy this weekend; I don’t know if it’s a holiday somewhere but we’ve had a lot of young families going up and down Ferry Road... and Chapel Green was busy with walkers in spite of the cool air.





22.00    Tonight was the first round of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’  so I watched that;  then found a programme called ‘Britain’s Best Beach Huts’... and some of them are amazing .... you could even get married in one on Herne Bay pier.

This has been a strange day;  I never really got into it at all.   We will have a ‘sunny


spells’ morning tomorrow so I’ll get out early because the afternoon could be wet.   A turn round the villages at the beginning of the day would be a good start to Sunday.

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
