Dust free morning ....

29th March 2024 (Friday)     "Happy Easter" to everyone .... enjoy this Holiday weekend.

08.45    we've had a lot of overnight rain... and it still is, raining that is,  but the sky is starting to break up


and sunny spells will soon brighten up this Good Friday morning.   We could have a few showers with  interesting clouds, so a bonnie day ahead.   There's a gentle breeze from the SSW .... I might get the bike out later; because it's not cold;  that said, the roads will be busy today.

21.00   Although it was a lovely day, the roads were to busy for me going out on the bike... but I had a walk up to the Pony Field in the middle of the afternoon.    I cold see showers across towards Edinburgh but we were lucky and didn't get one until late afternoon.... just after I got back from my walk.  I had a washing on the line and noticed a threatening cloud heading for Ivy Cottage!   I made it in time and got the washing in, just as the first raindrops began to fall.  The rain didn't last long but I see that we've had another shower recently ....I was oot at the bucket.

Ferry Road has been busy so I imagine that the villages are busy; the plans is to hover around Ivy tomorrow then go out on the bike on Sunday by which time the roads will be quieter.    The weather is forecast to be 'good' for Saturday, and Sunday, with Sunday being the better of the two days: Hopefully  quiet enough.... and warm enough for me to get the bike out. 

22.15   Apparently somebody called Beyoncé has made a Country music record;  I don't see how that can be headlines in the News... but it has been today.   Then again I have never heard of her, nor heard her singing so I'm maybe missing something.   I'll Google her after this update to find out why she is so important.

22.25   Oops;   I apologise to all the Beyoncé fans;  apparently she is the best of the best.... a proper 'All American' girl!   I'm a Jimmy Shand fan.

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
