Quiet morning....

28th February 2024 (Wednesday)    07.30 .... The sky is overcast in all the Fife weather cams

Balcarres - 2012.

and light rain is mentioned in the weather forecast:  funnily enough, even with a grey sky it's a nice, quiet morning .... though the 'light rain' isn't far away by the look of the Western sky.   I will go up to the 'paper shop' later in the morrrrning.... on the bike if the weather is amenable at the time.   Sunny spells come to mind.

10.30   The rain arrived just as I was getting the bike out to go to Elie .... so the bike was cancelled and I went in the car.  It isn't heavy rain ... but it's wet and doesn't agree with the bike battery.   Anyway I handed in my prescription ....and picked up the papers.   It's now morrrrrrrning coffee  time.... then work on the computer.   It looks like being a good day for that.

17.15    I surprised myself today!   How?.... I pranged a muscle while Spring cleaning!   Actually it's not tearing a muscle that surprised me; discovering that I had a muscle big enough to tear was the surprise! Anyway the Spring cleaning is 'on hold' for a few days:  so I've had a good day among the DVD's.   I found the Balcarres Three Day Event (2012) in today's lot; that meant a lot of happy browsing!

Warm up area.
19.30   I have enjoyed myself today;  I'd like to say that I was upset by having to stop the Spring cleaning.... but I'm not.  I can concentrate on less dangerous 'activities' now.  I'll start by putting the kettle 'on'.

21.00    It'd to be windy and wet tonight but rain  is moving through overnight ....to give us sunny spells with a fresh breeze tomorrow.
We, 'The Team' are going out for lunch at the 19th tomorrow..... welllll  I think we are.   Now I'm not sure.   I'll phone Myra in the morrrrrrrrning.

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
