Feeling excitable ....

21st August 2016 (Sunday) .... 09.00    it’s ‘bright and breezy’ this morning....  a good drying day:   I wonder? .... (5 minutes later) .... I have a washing going through the machine.     Now it’s time to get myself into gear;   I’d go to the kirk
Classic car - Daimler
this morning, but I feel as excitable as a “bag o’ ferrets” so must do something to burn orf energy.    This calls for a ‘plan’.    I’ll have breakfast and put together a ‘plan’ then.... I’m much in need of a cuppa anyway,  having come over all light headed since I took a BP pill.    Must ‘go’ “slight flap on”.
22.00    The “excitable as a bag o’ ferrets” lasted most of the day;   after the light headed/dizziness wore orf.    However, I’m really tired tonight, but, when I think of what I’ve been doing I suppose the auld muscles need to rest sometime. 
After my head cleared ... that takes about an hour and a half ...I biked up to Chapel Green and sorted out the rose, and the posy, on “The Boss’s” seat:  they had blown over with the wind.    Next year I’ll have a better way of holding the champagne (plastic) glass!    Sheena appeared, as if by magic, walking her dog, and, among other things, she reminded me that this was an ‘Afternoon Teas’ up at Kilconquhar kirk
KIlconquhar loch, and kirk
today:   happy news indeed!     As soon as I was  finished at Chapel Green I went down to Ivy, picked up a jacket and biked up to Kilconquhar via Elie Estate.    I have been missing the Coffee Mornings and it showed today:   I was happy, and glad to be back among my ‘girlfriends’... and ‘the boys’.... as ever, I talked too much!   The ‘Drop In cafe’ restarts on Thursday, and the Colinsburgh ‘lite lunch’ is on the 31st.   Yes ... things are getting back to normal.    It was a happy, and contented ‘boy’ that biked home from Kinneuchar ... even though the wind was in my face.
In the evening I biked up to Chapel Green again because it was such a bonnie evening.... and there was an interesting sky.   The ‘Green’ was busy, with folk out
Sunset time - the sun was behind me.
enjoying an evening walk.    I went back to Ivy, put the bike in the shed, and went down to the beach for a short daunder.     This has been a satisfying, and active day;   I’m happy.
Tomorrow I have to go to Leven at some point;   I fancy going on the bus.   The weather forecast is for it to be much the same as today ... but warmer.

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
