Damp start to the morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning.....

 21st February 2024 (Wednesday)    09.00 .... After few bonnie Spring like days, it's


disappointing to waken up to a dreich morrrrrrrning;  however the wetness means that there's no dust in the air.... though gills, to extract the oxygen from the rain, would be handy.   However 'sunny spells' are coming out way, early in the afternoon.   When they arrive I'd like to get the bike out, though I very much doubt if I will.... probably too much water  lying around.    I'll have an interesting morning on the computer.

18.30    Although the sunny spells arrived  in the afternoon I didn't get out on the bike:  a migraine kicked in an hour or so after the above update and that sorted out any thoughts that I had about biking.  I took the pills and had a lazy day transferring photographs, drinking copious amounts of liquid.... (water and tea)....and dozing in front of the tele.   I set a timer to alert me when to change the DVD's .... and did a lot of transferring.... in between catnaps.


The wind freshened (and felt colder) and the day ended 'bright and breezy';  which is more than could be said of me today.   I'm going to have another cuppa (with another couple of pills) after this update, and continue with the 'work'.   It's not hard work .... but it made, what has been a bummer of a day (for me), an interesting one.

20.45    It's a  bonnie night but there's a drop in the temperature.... but we should have a 'bright and breezy' day tomorrow.... but cold in the fresh wind.   There's a chance of light rain showers in the early part of the morrrrrrrrning.   I need to do a shopping so will head for Leven (and Methil);  the problem being which road to take.   If I'm going as far as the 'Y' junction (B942) I might as well go to The Store':  I was kind of hoping that the bit between Broomlees and the Kinneuchar junction would be finished and  'open' by now; but the sign on the Ferry Road tells me that it isn't, and is 'closed'  during working hours.

22.00   Today's News that, practice missiles launched from a Trident submarine failed twice in succession is worrying.  One place not to be if they ever have to launch  live missiles.... is on board a Trident submarine!

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
