Beautiful, fresh,l morning ....

29th November 2016 (Tuesday ) .... There’s a touch of ‘chill’ in the wind this morning .... it, the wind is from the WSW and F4-5, hence the wind chill factor.   I went out to West Bay this morning, and it was cold walking into the wind.
'Davaar' being made ready for renovation.
     It was fine once I got onto the West Bay beach and had the wind on my back.   
 When Michael and Iain were ‘wee’ (small),  we  always went across to West Bay, to the picnic rock, because it was a bonnie, sheltered, and sandy beach.   That has all changed and where there was sand is now stones and rocks:   which might explain why the Ferry beach, and sand dunes are ‘growing’.    I’m assuming that the tide has washed the sand round from West Bay, into our main beaches.... because they are accumulating sand .... as are the dunes.

I got back to Ivy just in time to get the kettle on:   Jimmy arrived as it began to boil.     Jimmy has just scampered orf home to have ‘50’.... I shall have a ‘lite bite’ lunch, L-Mail ‘M’,  then do some ‘ousework.

21.00     Leaving the housework until the afternoon was a good ‘move’ .... the weather turned colder, and ironing is a warm ‘job’.   Before I got ‘tore in’ tae the housework “Sapper” appeared, with Elizabeth and Graham in tow... well, that’s how it looked!     In point of fact, Elizabeth was delivering ‘kirk stuff’, and Graham and Sapper tagged along!     We had a wee blether before Sapper decided that he was in the mood for more walking.   I did the ironing!

Earlier this evening I was in the kitchen, contemplating the enormous collection of rather attractive looking calories that add up to one Eton Mess (hereafter “EM), I suddenly noticed that the Ferry Road street lights are working again!    Well done Fife Council;   I didn’t even see it happening;  if  I had, there would have been a photograph!   Anyway ... back to the ‘”EM”!   Jimmy and I were in Aldi’s a few weeks ago and I was confronted by this eye catching box in the shop freezer department.    In nae time I was the proud owner of aforementioned box, complete with contents.... all 1248 lovely calories of “EM”!    Jimmy and I will have a portion of it with our morning cuppa tomorrow.    The strawberries will count as at least one share of our
KIncraig.
‘five a day’!     It’d have a piece if it just now but it’s as hard as a stane, having been unearthed from the freezer only an hour ago.

Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be much the same as today.... only warmer and windier.    With it being windier it will feel as cold as it was this afternoon!

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
