Dysart Harbour ....

17th May 2016 (Tuesday) ....09.00    I felt ‘sluggish’ earlier, but that has worn orf, and I’m in the mood to do things now.     The immediate ‘plan’ is to go to
Dysart
Kirkcaldy to buy a pair of shoes;   whether to drive all the way in the car, to save time, or take the bus is the next decision.    I’m favouring the car, from the ‘time’ point of view .... and I could divert down to Dysart for a daunder round the harbour.    Yes the car it is... now I’m wondering if the Car Park above the former Tesco’s is still operational?    I’ll find that out when I get there.
22.00     Although it’s now raining, we’ve had a bonnie enough day;   albeit overcast most of the time.   As for me, I have had a busy day, in spite of feeling ‘sluggish’  most of the day:  in fact I was sound asleep in the Hutte, in mid afternoon,  when Shona appeared and organised a much needed reviving cuppa...  which, needless to say, I eagerly accepted.     Jimmy turned u
Dysart
p about ten minutes later and we had a grand blether... mostly about Kilconquhar and Barnyards.
The drive to Kirkcaldy was quiet, and even enjoyable.     I still don’t know if the “Tesco’s” Car Park is operational, ‘cos I didn’t use it.... however I think it will be ‘open’ because Fife Council runs it.    I ended up buying two pairs of shoes, because I couldn’t make my mind up which pair I preferred;  this means I won’t need to buy shoes, nor visit Kirkcaldy, for another three years.    I always get my shoes at Clark’s because they seem to suit my feet.    Not easy!.... getting shoes to suit my feet i.e.
On the way home I went down to Dysart Harbour with the intention of having a coffee in the Harbour masters House Coffee Shop:   it was closed.    With a bit of time ‘on my hands’, and as an alternative to the coffee, I decided to photograph the harbour to bits .... and I’d stop at Sainsbury’s in Leven and have a coffee there.    At Sainsbury’s I
Dysart
ended up doing a wee shopping, fruit, and completely forgot about the coffee!    And that has been my ‘day’.   I’ve said this before:   “it’s hard work being me”.
Tomorrow we have the History Society outing to Glamis, so I’m having an early night.... though I am organised.     That means the camera has been ‘prepared’.    The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘mixed’;   rain early with showers later.  Funnily enough I’m feeling quite perky now... whatever caused the ‘sluggish’ feeling seems to have moved on.

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
