HM The Queen Birthday ........

21st April 2016 (Thursday) .... 08.00     HM The Queen is 90 today so ‘we’ shall sing .... Happy Birthday Dear “HM”... Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”    I am sure “HM” will have a lovely day!    Also... when we’re in voice’ ...  “Happy Birthday to everyone else whose birthday it is today.... happy birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”!

We have another beautiful morning.... a grand morning for the beach;   however I’m
Lower Largo
orf to Leven, in ‘major flap on’ mode;   I’ll calm down once I’ve had my haircut;   which ‘operation’ will be followed by a cuppa, and a goodie, in Stuart’s.

21.30    My wee legs are stiff tonight;   I walked from, and to, the garage at Banbeath to Leven, (a total distance of 4.5k), three times today, on concrete and my legs obviously do not like concrete etc.... and it was warm hot in the sun.    “Sooper Buggy” needs her brakes fixed, which I suspected might be the case;  this can’t be done until Monday.    I left her along there as the MOT runs out tomorrow night so I couldn’t use ‘her’ over the weekend anyway.     There’s something else needs doing but I can’t remember what;   anyway I get ‘her’ back on Monday.  
I got my haircut as per plan, and the cuppa in Stuarts....after which I browsed a few shops, then went to Sainsbury’s Cafe for ‘food’.    Although I spent a good amount of
Kilconquhar Castle Entrance gate
time walking, I spent about the same time resting and drinking tea.
Leaving the car in Leven meant I had to get the bus home to Elie .... and, it was a ‘double decker’ so I went upstairs to the front seat, and photographed my way home.    It was really too ‘bright and sunny’, which means more reflections on the glass, but I did get some interesting, ‘taken from the top deck of a bus’ photos.
After a quick ‘lite bite’ at Ivy, I got the bike out and went to the ‘Drop in Cafe’;   it was quiet at first but was numbers built up as the afternoon went on.    I had a nice, relaxing, time chatting... mostly to Suzanne about insects etc.
Tomorrow is forecast to be another sunny, but cooler day;  the wind is going to be
Kilconquhar Main Street
more Northerly.

Photographs : Top – Lower Largo, Middle – Entrance to Kilconquhar Castle and Country Club, and Bottom – Kilconquhar.    All three photos taken from the top deck of the ‘95’ bus.

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

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

Warm and damp ....

4th October 2023 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... there’s been light rain overnight and the forecast is ‘strong winds and rain’, but it’s not raining at the moment.... and it’s warm.   I think I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) before rain arrives.... the wind freshens.  Slight ‘flap on’. 09.30 .... Go out before the wind freshened?.... it was already F6 (at the Breakwater) when I was out.   Guess who didn’t go down to the harbour!   That said even at the Breakwater the wind was warm.   I didn’t stop at the Breakwater, in fact I couldn’t stop.... the wind blew me half way along South Street and I was up on The Terrace in ‘nae time’.     I managed to stop, at my usual place, and take a few photos before heading for the shelter of the High Street... and the ‘paper shop’.    The streets were quiet and I thought about going up to Chapel Green but decided give CG a miss today.....   and have drawing day. 22.45    My computer was  hacked this morning and I am going to use the wee laptop until Ia
