Dreich morning ....

16th January 2017 (Monday) .... My thoughts are with Janice and Michael today:   Janice has her ‘op’ in Eastbourne this afternoon, ... so a  stressful time for them both.     “Bonnie” and I are looking forward to Friday .... Janice will be home.  

 It appears that “Bonnie” has decided the she will be i/c and that, for her, sleeping is ‘Order of the day’, .... and,  being that it is raining, and none too warm, sleeping isnae bad idea.     I’m  going to bake scones, and have been up to the local shop, a Mini Tesco, for some ingredients.    It’s a handy shop but doesn’t have a wide selection of goods.    It does have Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers and Milk Chocolate Digestives;   both vital ingredients on a dour day like today.
19.00    Brilliant news;   Michael phoned, at 18.40, to say that Janice is sitting up in
Bonnie looking for "Mum" (Janice.)
bed, drinking tea.   “Bonnie” and I are celebrating with a cuppa.

22.30     This has been a long day, but we’ll sleep soundly tonight knowing that Janice is ... probably ‘planning plans’ as we sleep!     Among the ‘sound sleepers’ will be “Bonnie” the Westie.     Having said that she did sleep well today, only becoming ‘restless’ about 12.45 for some obscure reason.

I left Michael and Bonnie sound asleep on the sofa when I crept upstairs a few minutes ago;   they well deserve their sleep!    I was going to wash the crockpot but that would have been too noisy so I’ll do it in the morning.
We’ve been watching the preparations at the White House for the forthcoming Presidential inauguration on Friday:   I know it happens every four years but for some reason this one is going to be ‘different’ ... and then some!      Donald Trump, will become “President of the United States of America”.... and with the new President seemingly representing “GREED” – and there is far too much of that attitude on the planet today;   this is something to be concerned about.

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

 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
