Drop in Cafe ....

25th August 2016 (Thursday) .... 09.30    There’s a bank of low cloud come in from the North Sea overnight, giving us a grey, and damp, morning.    I looked
10th green .... the lady in red trousers holing her putt!
out at 05.00  and saw that it was thus, and went back to bed, finally getting ‘up’, and ‘running’ at 08.15.... well, maybe not running.    The weather should improve later .... but, with the wind being from the East, it’s a bit ‘iffy’.    There’s light ‘Scotch Mist’ falling now and again so I haven’t been down to the beach,... nor out on the bike;  but, I have done some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’!     Now I’m going to have a late breakfast.    Oh .... we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon;   a chance to chat, and catch up with all the EKC Parish news. 

    22.30     We’ve had a ‘dreich’ evening, in fact it has been so since 16.00 this afternoon .... and it is still wet and miserable,...   however the wind is veering towards the West so it should be ‘bright and sunny’ by tomorrow morning.
I’ve had a ‘quietly busy’ day.    Jimmy arrived not long after I’d finished my ‘late breakfast’;   we had a cuppa and a chat.   Unfortunately, Jimmy didn’t have any
My pot of tea at the Drop in Cafe - and second biscuit!
information for the Hutte pages:   He thought he did get some ‘information’, but couldn’t remember what it was.    After he left, I went up to Chapel Green on the bike and removed the flowers from the Boss’s seat as they had wilted.    I’m going to come up with a better way of fixing flowers to the seat the next time.... but I still intend using the champagne flute.
The ‘Drop in Cafe’ was busy this afternoon .... I think we were all happy to see it ‘open’ after the Summer break... and to catch up with local ‘news’.    Not that where was any ‘local news’... as far as I can make out, ‘nothing has happened anywhere’, over the summer period.    I certainly was glad to see everyone again:   next week we have the ‘Lite lunch’ at Colinsburgh, so we are back on track with the EKC “Friendly Get Thegither’s”.

‘M’ is coming along  next Tuesday... which is a week before she goes back home to New Zealand.     I think the plan is to be in ‘The Royal Burgh’ from Tuesday until
Mist closing in this afternoon at Elie
Thursday when we shall say our ‘goodbye’s’.    It has been really enjoyable going around as a ‘couple’, even though it was only ‘now and again’.     ‘M’s, “raison d’être”, was to visit her relations, and friends;   I’m really happy that I was able to spend some time with her.... and to use her for my model.

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
