Cold NE wind .....

1st October 2024 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... This mature person won't be straying far from the door

today.  Why?..... because we have a frisky, and cold, NE wind!   However, sunny intervals are forecast with the chance of showers by morning coffee time, but always going to feel cold out in the open;  trust me to feel playful on a day that I can't go out.   Never mind, I'll make good progress on the computer, sorting out Folders of photographs;  that's always interesting.

20.30    It has been a nice day, in fact I meant to do a washing but forgot about that;  tomorrow is forecast to be bonnier.... and a good drying day.   Today has been a stay in and warm day;  mostly working on the computer.  One of the Folders I found was the one I made when Jackie and I biked from Backhill of Inkhorn to Newmachar via the 'Buchan Way', the old railway line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh converted to a biking walking Way..    I remember travelling, by train, from Newmachar to Fraserburgh for our annual school outing.   Sorting out the photograph Folders is going to take a long time.....but it's awfie enjoyable.

As it's going to be bonnier tomorrow I'll do the washing I meant to do today, and maybe even take the 'hurdy gurdy' for a turn up Ferry Road.   My friend Ian will have settled back into his nice warm Australian weather again.   I'll drop him an e-mail later to find out how his journey home was.

22.00  Although the weather is going to be slightly  better tomorrow the wind is still from the NE;  not the healthiest of wind directions.   I intend wrapping up and going for a short walk, because I need the exercise..... but I can't go too far as Iain ordered a set o' 'exercise pedals' and I'm not sure when they will turn up.

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

Nice morning ....

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

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
