Another 'warm and sunny' morning ....

17th August 2016 (Wednesday) .... 08.30    We have yet another ‘warm and sunny’ morning ... and the forecast is good for the remainder of the day.    There
'M' at Dysart
was more mist around earlier, and enough of a breeze to ripple the water... so no reflections this morning.    I’m going along to pick up ‘M’ in a wee while.... I’m thinking we’ll start with a cuppa at the ‘Cheese Place’, where we can come up with a plan for the rest of the day.    ‘M’ goes back home in just under three weeks;   it has been a quick three months.
21.30     Today I took ‘M’ to a place she has never been before.... Lower Methil!    We went to visit the Methil Heritage Centre, where we had a cuppa, and a chat with the local volunteers, before having a wander round the very interesting Archaeology
Dysart
Exhibition that is ‘on’ at present.   ‘M’ was impressed, we both were;   Methil Heritage Centre is a small but very active place,  with friendly, and informative, volunteer Staff.    They change their exhibitions on a regular basis;   and make a great cuppa.    From here we went on to Buckhaven where I took some photos of ‘M’ with the giant wind turbine in the background.

Our next stop was at Dysart Harbour, for lunch at the Harbour Master’s House, followed by a walk round one of my favourite harbours.     Then we met “Christine” ... a lady from the Templehall area of Kirkcaldy who was down at Dysart for a quiet break;   until she met us.    We had a nice chat about the merits of being ‘us three’, pottering around enjoying the bonnie day, in a bonnie spot.    It was uplifting talking to “Christine” .... she would fit into our
Dysart
‘local girls’ Coffee Morning team nicely.... friendly and chatty.

The other day I bought nine Victoria plums:   ‘M’ ate one of them and ‘the boy’ the remainder.    Oh my word .... I do not want to hear the words “Victoria”, nor “Plums” (in any order) again.     “Puku” is a very empty puku, after the ‘naughty’ ... “unmentionable things” ... passed through, and cleaned out, my whole digestive system.
Tomorrow is forecast to be ‘warm and sunny’ though it may well be mistier early;    four days of lovely weather in succession .... this is the best summer we’ve had in years!

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

 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
