Cold (4C) .....

14th October 2023 (Saturday)    08.15 ....I'll have to bring the garden thermometer into Ivy;  it's

4C out there....and feels colder.   It's a lovely morning and will get warmer, but it's always going to feel cool on the lugs.  I'll visit Alice in the morning and go out on the bike later in the afternoon.... maybe. I haven't been anywhere this morrrrrrning;  I'll have breakfast then go for the paper.

09.30    The paper has been uplifted .... and milk for the Cornflakes, so that's me for the weekend.  I met Dave outside the 'Paper Shop';  I forgot tell him that 'M' in New Zealand was asking for Joyce.   As far as I could see all is good around the villages, with loads o'  (well wrapped up) folk wandering about.  It's a good day to be out.   

19.30    I always enjoy my 'Alice Time';  she is always cheerful, and doing things for other people.  We had a braw morning sorting out the world, drinking tea and scoffing Alice's homemade soup.   A pleasant few hours.   Unfortunately I had a migraine (weather) and came home  to take a couple o' pills and have a kip.  As is normal with my migraines, I'll go to bed early tonight and be playful tomorrow.
 

20.45     I had a short wander up to the 17th green at sunset time;  we had a bonnie sky but it was cold so I didn't stay out long.   I've been watching 'Strictly' ... but for some reason it has lost it's magic.  I'll make the bedtime chocolate, take a couple o' pills and have an early night.
It's going to be another bonnie but cold day tomorrow;  I might have a turn round the villages on the bike if it isn't too windy.

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
