Moderating wind .....

28th September 2023 (Thursday)    09.00.... The wind is moderating after a


blustery night (but not as blustery as it was on the West coast) and the sky is starting to break up to give us ‘sunny intervals with fresh wind’ as per forecast.   I’m feeling playful , in fact almost ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’;  but I won’t go out on the bike until afternoon by which rime the wind should be much quieter.  It’s F6 in the middle of the Firth just now (Well Safe Guardian).  

20.30    I had a short trip on the bike later in the afternoon...only as far as the beach then round Chapel green as the bike battery was low.   If the weather is fine tomorrow I might go for a decent run....the battery is ‘on charge’ just now.   I don’t think it’s going to rain tomorrow but it is going to be windy;  a good drying day!


Ferry Road is being patched yet again;  somebody went round with a yellow spray can a couple of weeks ago marking the places that need repairing.    What the person with the spray can really needs to do is spray a yellow line all the way across Ferry Road with an arrow pointing North, at the Ferry phone box... and another line all the way across Ferry Road where it meets the A917 with an arrow pointing West, then resurface the bit between.  That would make Ferry Toad fit to bike on.

I had a lovely morning catching up with Alice, scoffing her home bakes and chatting until lunchtime.   Joyce (Alice’s friend from Thornton) arrived after lunch and we had a really enjoyable, three way, conversation.   I left the girls to themselves and bumbled my


way home;  made a cuppa and promptly fell fast asleep in front of the tele.

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
