Nice morning with a cool SE breeze....

7th March 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... It's a nice morning but the breeze coming off the North Sea
March - 2006.

is cauld;  that said we should have sunny spells, once the sun rises above a big bank o' cloud.    It's never going to be warm today but it will be brighter.   I'm going to Methil to visit Alice;  we're gong to have lunch at the local kirk.   It's time for another cuppa .... and breakfast.   'Blob' has been fed. 

09.00 .... The sun is struggling to rise above the cloudbank; because the cloudbank is moving NW just that wee bit faster than the sun is rising.   Hopefully the sun should start to burn back said clouds.... and we will be bathed in lovely sunny spells.   I'm going to have another cuppa.

18.30  The sky brightened up a bit in the middle part of the day, but the sunny spells never got going.... and the cold breeze off the sea was with us the whole time.   Not the most pleasant of days as far as the weather went.
As planned I went to Leven and Methil;  I got through by way of Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh.   I had hoped to use the Balchrystie road but it was 'Closed'.   The Balchrystie road must be the only bit that needs work done;  the finishing date is the 15th March.  As planned Alice and I went to
Elie - March 2006.

Sainsbury's to do some shopping.... and were back at HQ in time to go for lunch in the Wellesley Kirk Hall.  There's a  good choice of food.... we had 'Fish 'n Chips'.   Two weeks ago we had roast beef with all the trimmings.... and helpings are big!    After coffee and a goodie back at Alice's HQ,  I set off for Ivy and was back home by 14.00.   The messages were in their appropriate places, tea made and me sound asleep in front of the tele, by 14.30;  after an enjoyable, relaxing day.

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
