Fisher and Donaldson Cafe ....

27th September 2016 (Tuesday) .... 10.00    We have a “dull, and  breezy, with occasional showers” morning ... but it should clear up later;   it’s not
West end of 'The Ferry' beach
cold.    I know all this because I’ve been out for a walk, during which I had to put the camera into the bag a couple of times when showers came over, ... the showers are not heavy, but they are annoying.
The news is full of the Clinton/Trump debate.   Choosing the President of the USA is one of the most important decisions to be made on our Planet, but surely there has to be better contenders for the position than either of them.    It was like watching a second rate advert for something I wouldn’t want to buy.    I became ‘bored’ and went back to bed after half an hour.

When I was out wandering along the beach I got to thinking that .... even on a dour morning, where we live is still ‘stunning’.   The sky was subtle grey's, changing all the time;   this made for a moody grey Firth (of Forth).... with both sky and sea in a fidgety

mood.    We live in a beautiful corner of Mother earth.
20.30     Jimmy and I fancied a change of eating place this morning, and went up to the ‘Fudge Doughnut Factory Cafe’ at Cupar...  where we had a, yes ... a Fudge Doughnut, and pot of tea to go with it.    (I also discovered the perfect birthday ‘cake’ for ‘JB’ .... a Fudge Doughnut cake 8 inches in diameter)!    It was a beautiful day by this time, although the wind had risen considerably since I’d been out walking earlier.   The Pitscottie to Cupar Road is ‘Closed’ with a diversion via Ceres;  which worked out fine as the FD Factory is at the Cupar end of the Ceres road.     We had a leisurely trip back to Elie, via Ceres.

It has been windy today (F8 ).... it’s ‘Equinoctial gales’ time, the harbingers of
My Fudge doughnut.
Autumn.    According to the weather forecasters it is going to be even windier later tomorrow and Thursday.    With it being so windy, I didn’t get the bike out today;   I went to the harbour in the car instead, but, with it being low tide at the time, there weren’t many waves crashing over the pier.

I’ve just remembered that it’s the Colinsburgh Lunch tomorrow.... something to look forward to, .... food and chat.

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
