Not a bonnie sunrise .....

28th October 2016 (Friday) .... 09.00     ‘The Boy’ has a washing going through the machine;   because we have a ‘drying day ahead’.    There’s a nice South
Sunrise this morning!
Westerly breeze, (it’s slightly cooler than yesterday), and we are going have ‘bright and sunny’ by midday:  and, I’m feeling ‘perky’ this morning.

I’ve had my early morning walk, now I suppose I should do some ‘work’.   The garden looks dry;  if it is dry, I’m going to potter about out there;  there’s always ‘stuff’ needing pruned etc.    The roses are still flowering ..... which is braw, but I think I should really prune them back for the ‘winter’.
21.30    The gardening I set out to do, ended up with me picking the apples and making an Eve’s Pudding with them.    This is the first time the tree has produced enough fruit to do anything with;   the fact that it produced 24 apples this year has saved it from an early demise,....  and being ‘turned’ into walking sticks.   There are three ‘branches’,  and they would make bonnie walking sticks.    The apples look really nice and edible, but they are not sweet apples.... hence the Eve’s Pudding.     That reminds me, I must
Nice early morning sky over the Golf House Club.
remember to freeze what’s left of the Eve’s pudding.

I’ve had a ‘drab’ sort of day, .... I was feeling like the weather looked.    It has been mostly grey .... and cold today, so, instead of being out in the cold,  I did a lot of inside stuff;   Eve’s Pudding being one of the ‘warm’ inside jobs, and an ironing, that’s been needing done for a couple of days, was the other.    At sunset time I went for a walk up to the Pony Field, and over the golf course.    Wrapped up, as I was, I still felt cold;  however I enjoyed being out in the ‘very fresh’ air. 

We can look forward to a slightly warmer, grey day tomorrow .... well, mostly grey, we
The 'Royal Burgh' after sunset .... yes it was cold!
may get a few bright spells in the East of Fife.    I don’t have any plans ... tomorrow is ‘Day 5’ (of 7) and the pills dictate how I feel ... but I’m going out for a walk at some point in the day.   

I need to find a book to read in bed .... I finished a ‘Wilbur Smith’ one the other night.   I fancy reading ‘Treasure Island’ for some reason, but I can’t find it, though I know it’s somewhere.

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
