Busy day .......

16th May 2016 (Monday)      08.30 ..... and I have a busy day ahead, work in the morning (after the Paper Shop),  then Leven in the afternoon.     I’ll bike along
Elie harbour
to Elie, visit Jimmy to steer him up, then back to Ivy to get on with the ‘work’ stuff.    It’s a nice morning, but there’s a lot more cloud around... however the sun should burn that off by lunch time.    Must ‘go’ ... slight flap on!
22.30     Once again we have had a lovely day .... I could get to like this ‘bright and sunny’ weather.     That said it didn’t turn ‘bright and sunny until after midday.... but it has been bonnie since, and we have a lovely balmy evening to enjoy.... but it isn’t very warm, now that the sun is low in the North-western sky.
‘The Boy’ has been busy yet again, but mostly ‘administrative’ things;  though I did make a trip to the re-cycling Depot with the latest boot load of weeds etc.   ‘Administrative’ ... that looks quite good;   I must use that word more often.    What
Elie harbour
have I been administrating? .... only a card, and wedding present for Sharon, who gets married in Dunoon next month.     Having done that before lunch, I then went along to Leven to do some shopping, picked up Janet, and we then poodled along to Arncroach to deliver the aforementioned ‘administered’ items.    Janet had been doing ‘administrative things’ too.   Brian and Moira were ‘in residence’ so we had a cuppa, and natter .... it’s good to catch up with ‘family’ news.   
My only ‘exercise today, was the biking along to Elie that I did in the morning. However I did allow myself a wee diversion down to the harbour, followed by a cuppa in Jimmy’s:  and finally home via the Estate, so it would be a decent distance.    On the way through the estate I met Stewart who was busy squirting stuff onto weeds;   presumably something that would give the weeds
The Main entrance road into Elie estate
a ‘sair heid’.
The weather is forecast to be nice and bright in the morning tomorrow, but clouding over with the chance of rain later in the afternoon/evening.   Rain?    I have enjoyed this spell of sunnier weather;  and, I have made good use of it in the garden.   The plan was to uncover the garden table and chairs, but that may be in abeyance for a while now.    They were never used at all last year.

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
