Calm and overcast....

12th January 2024 (Friday)     08.00....I was surprised to find the air warmer than I expected


when I was out feeding 'Blob' this morning;  but, there's only a light Westerly breeze so hardly any wind chill, so that explains the warmth.   The 'plan' is to have breakfast then go for the paper and visit the harbour. before settling down to write the Kinneuchar stuff.

12.00    The car has been 'fed', the papers uplifted and the harbour visited.... and I can tell you that the warm air we had at 'Blob Time' has moved away....  it's now cauld.  The wind has freshened so there's lot of wind chill.   I'll stay in, and warm, to do some 'work' after a 'lite bite' lunch;  and I don't think I'll be far from the central heating for the remainder of today.

16.30    The sunny spells that I was looking forward to never materialised;  however I have just seen the weather forecast for the next few days and it's to be sunny and cold.   Not 'sunny spells'.... proper sunshine; unfortunately with a chance of snow showers at the beginning of the week.

I have been busy on the computer, writing up my 'Kinneuchar Project'.  Knitting it all together could take a wee while but it's good to have reached this stage and I'm enjoying doing it.

21.00    Jings.... I didn't realise that writing could be so tiring;  I feel sorry for folk that work in offices.  I'm having a break tomorrow and going to Methil to annoy Alice.... and maybe do a wee bit shopping in Leven.


The workmen are making good progress with the Ferry Road bit of the cable trench;  it's an interesting trench to browse... and you can see why it's so tricky.   I'll take few photographs tomorrow when the sun is shining so that you can enjoy it too!   It's much deeper than when I took today's photo.  When I think about it... it  seems a long time since I took a sunny photograph!   






22.30    I've just been watching the weather forecast and it looks like Tuesday and Wednesday will be wintry.  There was a time (long ago) when I looked on snow as exciting;  now I think of it as a nuisance... especially when it begins to thaw.

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

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
