Nice walking morning .....

28th November 2016 (Monday) ....  11.00    We had light showers o’ rain at the beginning on ‘today’;   I know ‘cos I got caught in one down at the harbour
KIncraig cliffs.
.... this was at 08.10.    Sunrise was at 08.16 but didn’t happen .... well it did ‘happen’ but behind the clouds.    The weather has improved since then, and I went out across the golf course to West Bay then home via the “Boss’s  Seat” .... where I ‘picked up’, advice and instructions.   

When I go out walking, I am using a ‘walking pole’... this takes some of the pressure orf the knee;   and will extend my walking range considerably.     In fact I have two walking poles;   if I can find Maggie’s one!    We bought them for our Austrian walking holiday in 1997.

20.00    The village (Earlsferry ... the Royal Burgh of) seems quiet;   apart from tradesmen working on various sites:  all this activity has given me feeling that I should paint the front of Ivy, which is in much need of a coat of paint.    I’ll do it in the Spring, when the weather will be settled, and warm. 
  
Today I have been ‘resting’ .... I fell sound asleep(for half an hour) after lunch;     it must have been brought on by all the ‘fresh air’ this morning.    Since then I have been ‘working’ .... the main ‘work’ getting a beef casserole organised for my dinner tonight .... and tomorrow night too!     Making my own ‘food’, gives me something to do... other than sleeping    The reason I fell asleep is easy to explain;   I woke up with a migraine this morning;   the first one I’ve had in a wee while.    I blame the weather!    It means an early night in bed with my book  .... “Spring Fever”, by PG Wodehouse.
Jimmy came along in the afternoon;  he’d been along to St Monans but there was nothing doing down at the  Harbour.    Even ‘Tergie’, who is most often to be found
Part of |Grange Road Earlsferry.
there, was absent!  

  The weather did turn ‘raw’ in the middle of the afternoon, and St Monans Harbour, indeed all East Neuk harbours, can be breezy and cauld.... it must have been cold if Tergie wasn’t down there!     If the weather forecast is correct he (Tergie) won’t be down at the harbour tomorrow either ... it’s forecast to be much the same as today but windier.

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
