Beautiful, sunny morning .... ....

 22nd October 2023 (Sunday)    08.30 .... We have a bright and sunny morning;  it's a 'play


day'.... and a good drying day!  The washing is on the line, now I can concentrate on 'playing':  I'm going to visit Alice so I'll pick up the paper on the way to Methil, and go out on the bike later in the afternoon .... when the air is warmer.   Right now it's breakfast time.  

15.15   It has been a cracker o' a day;  and especially welcome after the horrid wet few days we've had.   I went to Methil to torment Alice;  we did  wee bit o' shopping (Eddy's in Buckhaven) then went to the former Buckhaven Harbour site for a daunder.   It was great being out in warm sunshine.    I'm going to have a cuppa then get the bike out and have a run up to Chapel Green.

21.00   It has been a lovely, enjoyable day.... but I never got the bike out;  I fell sound asleep and  never got going again.   Another good sleep tonight and I should be, more or less, back to normal.  I've had a look at the weather forecast and.... Fife (and most of the East of Scotland), has a Yellow warning for 'ice' tomorrow morning!   There is a clear sky and not much of a breeze, so we could have the first frost of this winter.... even in Elie and The Royal Burgh.... though the forecast only has us down to 2C.   I think I'll go back to sleep.

I enjoyed  my trip to Methil to visit Alice;  we're both recovering from a 'bug';  it's like a cold/flu and  has knocked us for six.... so had a quiet day.  I sleep most afternoons but lately have been 'dropping off'  at any time.  Michael and Janice have the 'bug' (Sussex) so it's most like the first of the country wide winter bugs.  Alice and I reckon we got it in one of the supermarkets; like most winter bugs it's easier to catch then it is to shake off. 

There's 'no plan' for tomorrow;  the weather forecast is good but the wind is back to the East again, and the East is not my favourite wind direction.   However I intend going out on the bike once the air is warmer;  just before morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee..... got to keep the legs going.

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
