Bright and breezy .....

26th January 2024 (Friday)     08.00.....We have a bonnie morning (a good 'drying day'), though


there is a low chance of light showers around midday.   The sheets will be dry.... and ironed by then.  This is going to be a 'rest and relax' day on the computer.... with 'time out' to go for the paper, and I might have wee wander to the beach, depending on how windy it is.   It's F6 on Largo Bay just now.

15.30   It has been a perfect 'drying day;  and a perfect day for resurfacing the trench on Ferry Road.  The workmen have reinstated the road surface as far as they can  go: it's now ready for a set of new (bright and shiny) Double Yellow lines.   While the men were working like the clappers outside, I was doing the same inside.   Working that is ... but not 'like the clappers'.   The bed linen dried in the frisky wind, and is ready to iron;  that will be done immediately after this update;  and I did a some work in the kitchen; filling the tea bag caddy being one of the jobs.  With all the activity outside I haven't been further than the pavement;  with the camera and chatting to the workmen.   I'd say that I have enjoyed a really good 'rest day'.   


22.30    I've been tired and had a 'lazy' day today, which usually happens after I have a decent 'work'....  day like I had yesterday.   Tomorrow I am going to Leven to do a shopping then up to Methil to visit Alice.   From next week going to Leven will be different with the road being 'closed', between Elie and the Kinneuchar Station Junction according to the signage.   It probably means a trip to the 'Y' junction between St Monans and Pittenweem, to join the B942, because the alternative roads are not suited to huge lorries and lots of traffic.

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
