Breezy ....

17th May 2024 (Friday)    08.30 .... it's a 'bright and breezy morning;  there's a moderate wind


from the ENE and a lot of fluffy cloud around just now.   It's going to be a 'play day'.   I'll go out on the bike sometime today, but I intend doing some 'ousework first .... if I can get into a working mood.   Right now I'm not in a a working mood!

16.00   Hanging out a washing has been the only 'work' thing I've done so far today;  but I did take 'time out'  on the bike.   I had an enjoyable run up to Kinneuchar, with frequent stops to take photographs.   The countryside is looking brilliant just now and I came back with a load of 'photies tae play wi'.  Annoyingly I had a migraine not long after I got back home, and I'm now in 'rest mode'.  I've just remembered; I must put the bike battery on charge.

20.00    It has been a lovely day... even though there is a cool on shore breeze.   I never really got going after I put the bike battery 'on charge'; the battery should be fully charged in another hour or so  (taking three and a half hours to go from empty to 'full').  The weather forecast is excellent for tomorrow so I plan to go out early... before the roads get busy.   It's going to be misty first thing.... with only a light breeze.   It all depends on how misty it is and how I feel as to how far I go.  I'll certainly 'do' the villages.

The workmen arrived with stones to a build a 'retaining' wall where the patio joins onto the garden.  They will do the job in the next few weeks.   'Rural Developments' are always busy ... that's a good sign in the building industry.22.00   After a fairly busy day I'm tired and well ready for bed.   I'd like to be 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' tomorrow.... having had a leisurely afternoon today!
Apparently this is going to be a good night to see the Aurora Borealis... from 22.00 (now) and 02.00 tomorrow 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
