The Boss Rools ....

13th April 2016 (Friendship Lunch... oops Wednesday)      09.00    we have ‘dreich’ this morning, i.e. ... wet, windy and cauld.    However, being optimistic, the sky is beginning to look  a paler shade of grey, in places, so we might have sunny spells
The morning walk 
later.     I haven’t been out for my morning walk ... in fact, the only thing I’ve done outside is fill the bird feeders .... and, that’s about all I’ll do outside, until the rain clears away.   It’s only the weather that’s a ‘negative’...everything else is ‘positive’, starting with it being “Friendship Lunch” day;    I don’t need to down to the beach, hoping to find someone to talk too!     Actually it is beginning to look brighter out already ...if it, the rain, has stopped, I might take a walk along to Elie for the papers.
22.30      It has been overcast, and the rain has been ‘on and off’ all day....however, we’ve had a lot worse, so this qualifies as a ‘nae bad day’.     I did get down to the beach in the morning .... it was raining, but only lightly .... and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the beach was busier than I expected.    I like getting photographs with folks,....  usually in the distance, or walking away from me,....  going about their way of enjoying the beach;  a photo that ‘is’ Elie and Earlsferry’.     I went down again in the evening... and had the whole beach to myself.... but it was raining (lightly) at the time.
Our “Friendship Lunch” had a good crowd ‘in’ today.... the Hall was buzzin’ like a
Evening time
contented beehive.   The ‘Boy’s table had its usual compliment of;   actually very well behaved and quiet, ‘boys’ today, .....trying to astound Primrose, who didn’t seem that astounded by the quality of ‘boy’s around her.    Lexie’s ‘girls’ table was generating the most noise ... er... jollity!    They were probably discussing how lucky Primrose was! 
 Jimmy and I went straight to the Windmill from the “lunch” to visit Chris.    Chris took a wee while to ‘warm up’ but was singing at one point .... and nippin’ Jimmy’s lugs at all the other points!
Honor and Jock .. John, are just back from holiday, where they saw a ceramic mug with “The Boss Rools” on it, and immediately thought of me, and of how subservient, and obedient, I was when Maggie was around keeping me right,....  and still am, when
The Boss mug
I get ‘instructions’ from “The Boss’s Seat”.   Actually all of the seats round the Chapel Green area have me loupin’ when I pass them;   Maggie must have ‘trained’ every one of them!   Thank you Honor and John .... and, an especial ‘thank you’ to John who must have been making homemade tablet again... because the mug didn’t come empty!    I’ll give Honor two hugs the next time I meet her ... one for herself and the other for John!    

Photographs : Top –‘Our’ morning walk, Middle – Elie Bay at evening time, and Bottom – Jings, I’ve just thought ... the mug will end up be giving me ‘instructions’ too!

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
