St Monans ....

12th November 2016 (Saturday) .... 13.30    It has been considerably warmer this morning ....we have 10.5C in Ivy garden at the moment (13.00), with only
St Monans
a light breeze, so really ‘comfortably warm for the time of year.

I went along to St Monans for my morning stroll.... parking at the east Pier and then walked along to the Auld Kirk and back:  St Monans looked bonnie in the early sunlight.   Photographs were ‘taken’.    When I got back home it was time to get organised for the ‘Guild Coffee Morning’.... usually, when I get excited I forget things, but not so today.... I even remembered to phoned Jimmy to remind him.      This might be the way forward... a ‘new’ nonchalant ‘me’.   Yes .... I feel a touch of ‘nonchalance’ coming over me!    Having said that I feel a sudden attack of ‘stress’ coming on .... the laptop has just switched itself orf!    I didnae want it to do that;   in fact I seriously didn’t want it to do that!   And... the ‘moose’ has frozen!    Exits ‘nonchalance’... enter ‘concerned ’. 
St Monans
21.30    Jings ‘time’, as in one of ‘my’ days, seems to be ephemeral now;   a day passes before I know it, and leaves no trace .... apart from the photographs I take in the course of one day;  they remind me of where I have been on that day.    Having said that, I didn’t need any photographs from the Guild Coffee Morning to remind me that it was highly enjoyable, (as they always are);  I won a box of chocolates, in the raffle.   The box will be ‘casually’ left open on Tuesday evening:   a sort lure for the ‘boys’.... to see if they ‘yield’ to temptation.   

I have had a very satisfying (and busy) day;   most of my days are busy, .... not all are
Sunset fom the Ferry beach ... again!
satisfying.    If it rains on a washing day I am not satisfied;  in fact I am extremely disgruntled.      However I’ve gotten wise to that and ‘pick’ my washing days, which means I am very rarely ‘disgruntled.    Of course the daylight part of our ‘days’ being shorter, explains why they pass so quickly.   I can hardly cram everything I want to do into the daylight part of a single day.    I might buy a new tripod for the camera so that I can take gloamin'/evening time photos... thus extending my ‘activity’ time.

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

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
