Quiet morning ....

23rd February 2024 (Friday)     08.15.... It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning, with a lot of


interesting clouds drifting over on a light breeze just now.   The wind will freshen and we should have a good drying day.... so I have a washing in the machine.  I'm having a 'rest and play day';  the 'play bit includes going out on the bike.... once the sunny spells arrive. It's not as cold as I expected it to be after seeing the gritter last night; tonight will most likely be frosty.

15.30    I worked on the computer until morrrrrrrrrning coffee time (11.00), after 'morning coffee' I went up to the roadworks at Broomlees to see how the job was progressing.   The section between the Ferry Road end and the Kinneuchar junction looks finished and we should have free use of it until the final section from Kinneuchar Station to Balchrystie is finished and re-opened.   I was going to bike down the Elie road but the bike battery was low so I took the shortest way home.   The battery has been charged and I plan to bike the Elie road tomorrow..... if it isn't frosty.


18.30    The film 'Yangtze Incident'  is the first film I have watched, from start to finish without falling asleep, for a long time.   I've seen it before and put the tele with the intention of being bored to sleep.   I got engrossed in the story and didn't even fall asleep when the adverts came on.   So my afternoon was spent watching the film and transferring DVD's.   It turned into an interesting afternoon..... but,  I'm tired now!


22.30    It has been  a funny old day for me;  I have enjoyed myself but this changeable weather is 'migraine weather'  and cramps my activities a bit.    It was a good drying day so the washing dried .... and means an ironing job tomorrow.   I've had my bedtime 'orlicks;  it's now time for a bit of reading.   The book I'm reading is about the Romans and Druids etc.... and bloodthirsty.   2000 years later..... and it's still the same  Homo Sapiens seems to be driven by the need to kill each other; and we have made progress with more sophisticated ways of doing that.  It's sad really.

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

 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
