Wet .....

14th March 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... Low cloud, with rain, has drifted in from the North Sea


and is to be with us for the whole of today;  it is not a play day.   Sunny spells?.... No sunny spells.    In fact it looks like being another unsettled, mostly damp, weekend.   I was hoping for a bonnier day for my visitor(s).  The camera is ready for action.... as is the button pressing finger!    Must 'go'... slight flap on this morrrrrrrrrring.  Actually I'll delay the flappin' and have another cuppa. 

19.00   This has been an exciting day:  my Very Important Visitor arrived bearing goodies.   Well Mum and Dad were i/c but Henry will take over in time.   I forgot just how small babies are, and how completely dependent they are on Mum and Dad.  An absolutely beautiful miniature human.  His vocabulary is limited to a wailing noise.... but he knows when he wants something!.... and so does Mum and Dad.

Emily, John and Henry set off for Cumbria (John's mum and Dad's place) about 14.00;  I sat down with a cuppa after a very exciting couple of hours... and promptly fell asleep.

Henry.

21.30    The weather has been dreich.... but that didn't spoil what has been a very enjoyable, exciting and emotional day.   Emily and John are coming up again in May when the weather should be 'bright and sunny' and we should be able to go for a daunder to the beach.   

This weather brought on a migraine an hour ago so I'm having a couple o' pills with my 'orlicks, and will get orf to bed after this update.   The rain is to be with us overnight and into tomorrow;  that means I won't be in a hurry to go anywhere in the morning!

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
