Wet....

27th March 2024 (Wednesday)    "Happy Birthday to Michael/Mike (No 1 son) who is 61 ...one year older today.   

08.30   It's dull, wet and windy just now, but that should all change by lunch time when 'sunny spells' are


due arrive.... probably off the '95' bus!  Getting out of bed this morning took a bit of will power, but I'm vertical, showered ...and ready to go out to play.   I went out as far as the front gate to get 'this morning's weather' photograph:  I won't venture out again until the sun breaks through!

10.15   Having looked at the Fife Weather cams for cheering signs and found none, I am having a mug o' coffee before working on the computer.   So far this morning I have watched the News, and a programme about the US of A entering the 'space age' after WWII, using German scientists and the German V2 rocket to get them started.

20.00    The sun eventually broke through to give us a very welcome sunny spell that dried things up;  then we had a shower.   We're having a mixed spell of weather right enough;  with another day of mixed weather tomorrow.  The holiday weekend weather is going to be sunnier but not overly warm.   I'd hoped to sit in the reinstated garden by Easter but that hasn't happened;  that said the weather is not 'iggzactly' the sitting out kind anyway.  The Easter weekend has always been stressful, and exceptionally busy, with Earlsferry choc a bloc with cars.   I'll just have to get the bike out.... if the weather is friendly, which is highly unlikely.   

I finally managed to get the 'hurdy gurdy' into the car boot:  I forgot that you had to lower the handles to do that.  My breathing has been seriously bad for the past couple of weeks, due to the cold, damp and wind spell.....  hence the 'hurdy gurdy' in the car boot.

I've been rearranging some pictures;  that's heavy duty work for me.   The kirk tower and Elie lighthouse are diamond art but the photo doesn't do them justice;  they sparkle when you move around the room.

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
