Brighter sky....

12th March 2024 (Tuesday)     08.30.... I am excited.... we almost had a sunny spell half an hour ago.   The



sky has bright bits in it this morning.... not 'iggzactly' bloo bits but definite brighter bits.   I feel the  stirrings of activeness in my leg bones.   Having said that the weather forecast is, 'light rain with a  moderate breeze', so I won't be taking the bike out just yet.... and won't be hanging out the washing, but,,, the promise of Spring is in a slightly warmer air!   Happy me.  

20.00   The slightly warmer mentioned above, was cold by lunch time... and any active stirrings  in the old bones quickly vanished.... and I went shopping instead.   I intended going to the Store (Ainster) to spend some of the 'Dividend' that has accumulated over the pat few years;  which has to be spent by the 31st December.   The car was pointing North.... so I ended up in Leven.  And.... I couldn't go to Alice's because she is away with Izzy for a few days... so I did the shopping and had a mug o' my ain coffee when I got back to Ivy.  The  A917 is operational again;  but we have temporary traffic lights in Upper Largo.  Anyway the shopping mission was accomplished successfully...albeit in the wrong shop.   I was back home by 15.00.... and my tae nails were flyin' all over the place by 15.30; and in the 'oover by 15.40.   Yep a successful day.

21.30    It's cauld out tonight.... in fact it's forecast to rain overnight and into tomorrow morning.   It will be an 'ousework/computer day for mew  if it is wet.   That's the 'plan' for tomorrow!   Tonight I am tired.... and well ready for the bedtime drink and bed with my book.   According to the weather forecaster the weather is going to be warmer tomorrow; it certainly wasn't warm when I was oot at the bucket a wee while ago.

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
