Lovely morning ....

27th May 2024 (Monday)      08.30 .... After a hot (and restless) night, we have a sunny start to the

Bank Holiday, with only a light breeze so it's warm.   Unfortunately there's a yellow warning for thundery showers from midday to late evening.   Hey!...we could have some interesting clouds later:  As long as their contents fall somewhere else!   I 'm organised for my visitors;  maybe 'nearly organised' would be more accurate.  I'm going to run round with the 'oover, then circle 'The Ferry' on the bike before an early morning coffee. Slight  'Flap On'! 

13.00   Emily phoned to say that they were 'on their way'.... via Cupar to buy lunch.    Oooh... I'm droolin' because I think I know what lunch will be:  I'm looking forward to it!   Meanwhile I have been out on the 'paper run'.... well it would have been the  'paper run' if I had remembered to pick up the paper;  so, I've been roond the villages on the bike!   I was going to the harbour but cars were manoeuvring into parking places, so I didn't visit the harbour;  but I enjoyed my bike run, on what is a bonnie day .... with interesting clouds!    That reminds me;  I have a washing on the line so I'd best keep an eye on those 'interesting clouds!


17.30    Emily, John and Henry set off for Innerleithen  half an hour ago;  and we've just had a heavy shower, but no thunder.   I can't get over how much Henry has changed;  he's grown from a baby into a small boy in the last 10 weeks.    He takes an interest in all that's going on... and making a lot of different noises, instead of various different wails, to attract attention.   When Henry is the age I am now, it will be the year 2110... and I'd be 172!   I know you will all be wondering about my washing:  it was bone dry and I brought it in 5 minutes before the shower!


20.00    This has been a bonnie and busy day for me;  and I still can't get over how fast Henry is changing.   Amazing.    I have enjoyed seeing 'The Troops' and have a load o' photographs to play with over the next few days.
The 'Yellow Warning' for thunder never materialized but the sky has had a load o' lovely clouds;  luckily most of them dumped their innards somewhere else:  and my washing was 'in' before the shower we had in the afternoon.   There was thunder up in the Aberdeenshire but not in Fife.   Mind you, the 'Warning'  is active until 22.00.

I'm tired after my restless night last night;  and I hope it isn't as warm tonight.   Tomorrow will have to
be a rest day I'm thinkin'.   I think the weather is going to me more or less the same as it was today;  but it mention the chance of  'light rain'  in the afternoon.

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

 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
