Lovely morrrrrrning ....

14th May 2024 (Tuesday)     08,30 .... the weather forecast has for KY9 is "light rain with a moderate


breeze" but at the moment it's 'bright and breezy.' with a mix of cloud and blue sky.   The 'light rain' is forecast to arrive by midday.   I thought of going out on the bike just now,  but the frisky easterly wind put me off.   It's breakfast time.

19.30   After breakfast I decided to go to Lidl's (Leven) to get a few bits and bobs;  then up to Methil to have morrrrrning coffee with Alice.  Izzy came by and we chatted until lunchtime;  when Izzy went off on a mission, and Alice and I had a tasty lunch.... all home cooking including an Eton Mess.    Alice makes a braw Eton Mess!  It's very tasty!   And calorie free!   

I only managed to get two photographs today;  both taken from the car while waiting for the temporary traffic lights to change at the Bawbee Brig roadworks.  The new pavement and cycleway can be seen in the photo.  I think the plan is for them (footpath and cycleway) to go over the Brig;   the work is taking place on the Eastern approach to, and across the 'brig'.   The work has been ongoing for a long time;  mostly to do with the new Leven Railway Station.   

Letham Glen (two weeks ago).

22.15    It has been a cold and wet evening;  but tomorrow should be brighter.... and warmer.    I'm going to have another quiet day.   I doubt if I'll get out on the bike;  the weather forecast isn't bad but there could be light showers.

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
