Quiet morrrrrning ..... ....

29th January 2024 (Monday)    09.00 .... The sky is mostly overcast and there's only a light


breeze (F2 on Largo Bay), so it's a quiet start to the day.   I see that the 'West End' work vans arrived on site by 08.00 (Glenfuir) so they must have allowed for a longer travelling time;  or they might have done the 'local access' thing.  It will take a day or so to get the big machines on site.  I'm feeling bright and breezy this morning;  not extremely 'bright and breezy'.... but definitely in a more playful mood.   The 'plan' is to work on the computer until morning coffee time, then see how the mood takes me after that.... and how the weather is then.    There's a chance of light precipitation around midday.

16.15   The light precipitation arrive in the afternoon (I was asleep at the time) and we now have a damp evening.   The 'bright and breezy' feeling I had this morning only lasted until the early afternoon, when I began to watch a programme about Pan Am conquering the Pacific by flying boat in 1935, and fell asleep.... as I usually do.  As planned I spent the morning on the computer, so the day hasn't been totally wasted.   

The workmen have been busy on the Ferry High Street part of the cable work.   As far as I can see all that Ferry Road bit needs are the new Double Yellows to add a bit of brightness.... especially on a dull day.  Sort of like two, long skinny, rows of dandelions.  


20.30    I've just been out at the bucket and it's still raining;  a miserable evening actually.   In the meanwhile I am inside, cosy and warm watching 'Vera'.... and typing this update during the adverts.  This has been another 'rest' day for me (I think I've had a 'bug' or the last couple of days) because I am beginning to feel more like myself again.   The rain is forecast to clear away by morning and we're to have a sunny day with a moderate breeze.    I should get out and about somewhere tomorrow.

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
