Breezy ....

28th January 2024 (Sunday)    08.30 ....It's a nice morning with a wheen o' clouds scuttling

'Holy Willie'.

across an interesting sky;  the weather forecast is breezy with sunny spells in the morning, and light rain later in the afternoon.  The wind has freshened since I got up, but it's a surprisingly warm wind for this time of year.... so, though cloudy (just now) it's a pleasant enough morning.  I'm vertical.... and almost ready to do things.  

16.00    I don't now what was in the air today but it didn't agree with my tubes.... so I didn't go far from the door.    I managed to get photographs of the Katherine Villa demolition and the roadworks for the Alber Archive but that was as far as I went.   Actually, now that I think of it,  I should have taken the 'Hurdy Gurdy' as it has seat attached.    Anyway I enjoyed the short walk and look forward to cleaner air tomorrow.

19.38    19.6C at this time of year;  the new record temperature for January.   Climate change seems to be speeding up;  and it's going all the way up to the Artic.  It was warm here, but the biggest difference in out weather is that we're getting more wet weather.   That was a good thing today by the way;  the rain cleared away whatever was agitating the breathing tubes.

Katherine Villa site.

It will be interesting to find out how the Balchrystie - Elie road closure is going to operate over the next seven weeks.   If the weather is kind I might get the bike out tomorrow and potter my way up to Kinneuchar;  the weather forecast is good.

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
