Bright and breezy (so is the weather)....

3rd October 2023 (Tuesday)     08.30.... It’s a bright and breezy morning;


 with the wind chill it feels a wee bit cooler, but it’s a bonnie morning, and rain isn’t mentioned in the weather forecast.  Like the weather I’m feeling bright and breezy, but it’s maybe too breezy for me going out on the bike.  Anyway....it’s breakfast time so I’ll make my mind up about the bike later.   

11.30   The morning mission has been completed... well not quite;  I forgot the paper.  At least I remembered to hand in the prescription.   I went down to the harbour;  it was quiet down there and everything where it should be; apart from the seaweed, which we don’t want in the harbour.   When I think about it ‘Crane Out’ must be coming up soon;  that’s a real sign that Autumn is here.... and winter not that far off.   Back at Ivy I topped up the car ‘squirters’... then put the kettle on.   

20.00   I went to Methil to have afternoon tea with Alice:  I’d been doing the insurance for the car and for some reason it activates on the 17th October.... I must have hit the wrong button, and changing that complicates everything.   So I went to Methil to unwind.... and enjoy afternoon tea and cake.  I might try to redo the insurance tomorrow.  Would you believe it....  I am in ‘flap on’ mode. I’ll put the kettle on.

Apart from the debacle with the car insurance I have had a busy, and enjoyable, day.  I noticed that the lassie in the Chemist shop was wearing a face mask this morning;  the latest COVID is doing the rounds of the villages, so I will start using face masks again.   I get my booster on the 9th November at the Randolph Wemyss. 

I was watching the weather forecast at lunch time and, if the weather turns out as Carol

Waning super moon!

says it will, we are in for some damp spells over the next few days.  At least I should be able to sort out the insurance if nothing else.   And get some drawing done!

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
