Frisky northerly beeze ....

28th November 2023 (Tuesday)     08.30 .... there's a brisk North Westerly breeze so it is not


warm;  in fact the temperature is going to be in the low single digits all day, when you factor in the wind chill.   I'm going to Methil to visit Alice and we'll go shopping in Leven:  It's a good morrrrrrning for shopping.   'Sunny intervals with a gentle breeze' is the weather forecast for KY9.



20.30    I've had a lazy day:  I haven't done much more than a short shopping session with Alice, and some 'ousework.    The weather has been lovely, albeit cold, .... oh .... I kept giving 'Blob' snacks to help him through the cold spell.  That is an important job!   
Thankfully Lewis (stonemason) didn't have a lazy day; the stone cladding is near enough finished , and it must have been cold working out there today because he was in the shade most of the time.   This cold wintry spell is forecast to be with us for a few days yet;  in fact there's Yellow Warning for snow and ice, active overnight tonight until 11.00 tomorrow morning.... and the same again for Wednesday night.   I don't think the snow will bother us too much... apart from the low temperature.

I see that the roadworks sign that appeared the other day, has been moved and it now looks like the roadworks (or whatever is happening) is going to take place down Ferry Wynd... not on Ferry Road as it first suggested.   It will be interesting to see what actually happens tomorrow..   'Ferry Wynd'  is the original name for the part of what is now called Ferry Road, south of the junction with the Ferry High Street.   Somehow 'Ferry Wynd' became part of 'Ferry Road' a number of years ago.   The 'Wynds' are on the south side of the main streets from Chapel Green (Earlsferry) to School Wynd (Elie); with one exception ....'Fountain Road'.

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
