Bright and breezy ....

29th April 2024 (Monday)    07.30 .... Although we have a bright and breezy start to the day, light

rain is forecast to move in by lunch time.   At the moment there's a frisky breeze from the SW but is backing to the SE;  so much the same weather as we had yesterday, but warmer air should begin come our way today.   And  warmer weather will be very welcome.... and long overdue.   

09.30    The sky has clouded over and we've had a shower o' rain as per weather forecast..... but the air is warmer.  Pity about the rain.    I'm in a research and writing mood so will work on the computer most of the day.

19.30    I've had a fairly busy day, working on the computer:  but I had to take 'time out' to go to Elie (in the car) and went out to Woodhaven car park to take a few photos.   (I'd been at the Surgery making an appointment to have my BP checked etc;  that happens next Tuesday).    Anyway, by this time the wind had freshened and backed to the SE so it was much colder than it was this morning.  I did not linger long admiring the

view from Woodhaven Car Park, bonnie as it is.   Hirpling (hastily) back to the car.... (like a hare walking), and wishing that I'd brought a mug o' coffee, I then came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar, stopping to take a few more photos on the way.   Yes.... I did have, and enjoyed, a mug o' coffee when I got back to Ivy!

'Sunny intervals' with afresh Easterly breeze is the forecast for tomorrow:  it could be a lovely day but the Easterly breeze will take few degrees off the temperature.  Having said that.... it will be sheltered in the back garden so I might get some painting done!

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
