Nice morrrrrrning ....

 30th October 2023 (Monday)    08.00 .... It's a lovely morning (it isn't raining) and looks like


being a nice day... we might have some sunny spells.   I've hung out a washing, but I expect it will get an extra rinse as there is a 'chance of precipitation'.....and it's cloudy just now.   There's a drying Easterly wind, but that same wind is bringing the clouds in from the North Sea.   If the washing disnae dry today it will tomorrow because Tuesday is going to be brighter.... with less chance of rain.   I'm  hungry... it's breakfast time.

19.30    I always enjoy my visits to Methil and Alice;  and our wee shopping session with Karen (Alice's daughter).   I got all the messages I went for plus, a wee top up for the 'Emergency Ration' tin ... (goodies).  

We ended up with a perfect 'drying day'.... and .... no precipitation of any kind!    I had a run down to the harbour at sunset time and found 'Port Servicer' (utility vessel based at Burntisland/Methil....(I think 'Port Servicer' is it's actual name)) working in Woodhaven Bay.   There was a diver working on something underwater .... probably the sewage outlet pipe.   I took a few photos then had a chat with Mike.

'Port Servicer'

22.00   Heather and Ray came down for 'evening coffee and chat'.   Alistair, who normally makes the coffee, was working so I had to make the coffee;  it was drinkable but definitely not up to Alistair standard.    Anyway we enjoyed our 'catch up' evening .... and even drank the coffee.  Heather and Ray are going back home tomorrow, because the weather is reverting back to normal Scottish 'wet and windy ' on Wednesday.   Tomorrow is going to be the best day this week;  I'd better go out and enjoy some of it at least.

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
