Calm and peaceful ..... so is the weather

17th November 2023 (Friday)     07.30 .... It's a quiet morning ... or was before 'Blob' started

Quiet Firth of Forth.

gein' it laldie from the top o' the Rowan tree.   He sounds happy.   (I was puttin' the bucket out when Blob fired up).   I haven't decided on a 'plan' yet;   the weather forecast is 'good' , but there is a chance of light showers in the next couple of hours, so it's a multiple choice activities  day.  It depends on how the mood takes me..... at the moment it's taking me towards the kitchen and the kettle.

11.00    After the aforementioned visit to the kitchen 'the mood' eventually had me going to Leven to do the weekend shopping;  I only went to Sainsbury's thinking I might bump into Alice and Karen, but I missed them.  Actually Sainsbury's is busier now that there's a choice of different priced items: and a lot of elderly folk do their shopping first thing,..... this made me feel 'young'.   (I wish).   Anyway I left Sainsbury's with a reasonable amount of real food.... and some odd goodies (they must have jumped into the trolley as I wandered round).   The stone masons are busy so I'm going to make another cuppa and then get the pencils out.


20.00    Oops... there's a change on wi' the weather;  actually not much of  a change at all.... just back to 'heavy rain with a moderate breeze'.  If that's how the weather turns out tomorrow will be a 'drawing day' and I'm in the mood for drawing just now.   I'm glad that I did the shopping today;  driving in the rain is no joy.  I was expecting a showery weather tomorrow; perhaps the 'heavy' rain is going to give way to sunny spells by lunchtime.




22.30    I've been oot at the bucket just now and  the air feels more like frost;  no matter what the weather is I'm in a drawing mood but I will take time out to bumble down to the harbour at some point.... assuming it is showery.   Must 'go' 'slight flap on';  I forgot to make the bedtime drink before I began watching The Good Ship Murder.   I won't be going on a cruise!   
I've put up a couple of 'progress photographs  of today's 'work' by the team working on the new Ferry
Lodge extension.   I have also been 'working' but I'm not going to let you see the drawing until I think it's finished'
The apex of the gable is almost 'iggzactly'  the height I thought it would be looking from The Hutte.   It's going to look bonnie when finished.

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
