Damp ....

24th May 2024 (Friday)    09.00 .... We have a nicer looking sky this morning;  it's mostly overcast


butmuch lighter than it has been for the past couple o' days.  It's not actually raining just now but light rain/drizzle could come in off the North Sea in the morning, with sunny spells forecast for the afternoon.  It looks like being a bonnie holiday weekend.

12.45    The sun has broken through, but there's a sight chance of light showers;  I'll go out on the bike after a 'lite bite' lunch... if the roads are not too busy.  I expect the villages to be busy over the weekend.

20.00   We has a lovely afternoon with only one shower late in the afternoon.   We were lucky because I could see heavy showers towards the West of Fife and along the 'Sooth side'.   I had a quiet day (had a migraine in the morning) watching the Post Office inquiry intermittently.   This was the last day of Paula Vennels (former Post Office CEO) being questioned.   For 'time out', and some exercise, I went out on the bike, in the middle of the afternoon;  only up to Chapel Green and the Pony Field.   The golf course is looking  really bonnie just now....a palette of bonnie, fresh greens, like the rest of the countryside.   

22.00 The 'plan' for tomorrow... is to get up and out early, before the roads get busy, because it's going to be a bonnie day and the villages will be busy: High tide is at 16.00 so there will be a big beach most of the day.
I've had a quiet but enjoyable day.... and hope to be more active tomorrow.   I'm off to make the 'orlicks then off to bed to read my book:  the book is a Clive Cussler  'All American action one:  plate full of bullets for breakfast, an old tramp steamer (the 'Oregon' that can do 60 knots sideways), and a sniper that can fire a bullet into the muzzle of an enemy sniper's rifle a mile and a half away! Loads o' action.

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
