Fresher air ....

10th September 2023 (Sunday)      08.00 .... There’s a layer of cloud


 obscuring the sun so, thankfully, the air is fresher and loaded with oxygen.   Mind you that might change once the sun breaks through.   Thundery showers, with a gentle breeze is the weather forecast... and Fife is covered by a Yellow Warning, for said thundery showers from, 14.00 through to midnight.   There’s a change afoot with our weather.

09.45    I’ve been for the paper, visited the harbour ....and came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar;  if the thundery showers do come our way, I won’t be going out on the bike again today.   I’ll have a cuppa then pop along to  Methil.

17.30    We haven’t had any thundery showers so far, but the sky is beginning to look ominous.... with the look of a ‘thundery shower’ about it.  The nearest batch  of thunder storms, at the moment, is between Glasgow and Edinburgh.  

A917 road into Elie from the East.

For some reason the roads seemed busier than usual when I went to Methil to visit Alice; I think it was because there was a tractor, with a trailer full of bales going West, and he was setting a leisurely pace.   I had to accelerate.  Alice made salad rolls for lunch (followed by strawberries and ice cream) so I don’t need much in the way of fodder tonight;  a bowl of soup and a sandwich will do nicely.



20.00    At last we’ve had a shower o’ rain to clear the air;  we should be back to our normal weather tomorrow....’light rain showers and moderate breeze’.   More importantly, we should be able to sleep tonight.   Although I enjoyed the sunshine of the past few days the heat was too much. 

My central hearing boiler is being serviced on Wednesday, and we, ‘The Team’, are having

Balbuthie Road - Kinneuchar.

lunch in the 19th on Thursday;  apart from that I will have a quiet week.  The latest, and last, Kinneuchar Project drawing is starting to take shape.... in fact I’ll spend some time on that tomorrow.   Once it’s finished I’ll be able to concentrate on research and writing the ‘project’ up.

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
