Very damp .....

23rd May 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... After a night of rain, the sky is still overcast, with spells of


heavy(ish) rain, so not a morning for the bike.   At times the sky looks promising but only fleetingly;  at least it isn't raining all the time.... and the pollen count is low.   This could be a good day to go shopping, or work on the computer.   

09.30    I've had a wander out to the garden, and come to the conclusion that it's too wet to go up to Elie (in the car).... but I might, after I have an early 'morrrrrrrrrrning coffee.   There is much dreichness this morning so I won't be havin' the coffee outside.


15.30   It hasn't been a day for going out but I eventually decided to go up to the 'Paper Shop' and Barnett's the Baker.  That reminds me I bought a couple o' scones and I'm having a cuppa:  a scone wi' Strawberry jam would be very tasty.   Back in '5'.   I'm back;  with a brown scone and spread with honey.   Yes ... it is tasty.   Now where was I?   Oh aye:  I've been watching Paula Vennels (former CEO of The Post Office) being questioned  at the Post Office Inquiry. I've heard  the saying 'the buck stops here' many times! .... and always wondered where the 'buck' started from.   Oh.... I have done some work on the computer, but mostly this has been a 'rest day'.


17.45   It looks like Saturday will be the next 'sunny' day; and probably the next one when I go biking.  Tomorrow is going to be wet in the morrrrrrrning, with sunny spells moving across in the afternoon.   I have to admit that I am not a fan of this damp weather.   Luckily the weather is going to improve for the weekend... which is a Bank Holiday weekend so we can expect Elie and Earlsferry to be busy. 

21.30   Well it has not been the best of weather today but tomorrow is going to be brighter.  The TV News Channels will be taken over by 'honest and truthful' politicians, telling us how good their Party is, and how bad the others are.  The Party Leaders are already at it:  Ye Gods....six long weeks of repetitive bilge.  
'Nae plan' for tomorrow morrrrrrrrning;  but I might go out when the sunny spells arrive around midday.

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
