Sunny intervals ....

 9th October 2023 (Monday)    08.45 .... we have a bonnie start to Monday;  it isn't raining,


the sun is breaking through and the weather forecast is 'sunny intervals with light winds'.   It's not the best of drying days, but I am going to hang out a washing and hope that the sun dries it.   The 'plan' is to go to visit Alice and do some shopping in Leven.



14.30    When Alice and I were doing the shopping we had spits and spots o' rain so I thought  "oh well the washing will have to stay out all night":  I could hardly believe it when I got back to Ivy.... the washing is nearly dry!    I'm having a cuppa before going out on the bike;  assuming the weather stays dry.  

When in Leven I had planned to deposit a cheque in the Bank;  slight problem.... I'd left the cheque on the mantelpiece in Ivy.  

20.00   It has been a nice day, in fact warm for the time of year;  but not as warm as it is in Sunny Sussex, where my Sunny Sussex friends are  experiencing an October heatwave.  I didn't go out on the bike this

afternoon, but not because it was too hot.   I fell asleep.  I'd been up in the attic yesterday afternoon, for the first time in a few years, and the leg muscles are complaining.
 
"Strong winds and drizzle" is the KY9 weather for tomorrow;  could be another computer practice day.  I might take turn to Leven, this time with the cheque I meant to deposit today; it will help me get used to the 'new' car.

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
