Peaceful sunrise ....

19th February 2017 (Sunday) .... 09.00    we had a lovely sunrise this morning.... one of the kind where, “everything seemed to ‘stand still’ for a few
Sunrise.
minutes”, waiting for the sun appear:  magical it was.    The weather forecast is for us to get a few ‘bright spells’... this was one of those!    Having mentioned the weather, California has been going through the mill recently ... even Laguna Beach, got its share of wild weather.... and Laguna Beach is the ‘Elie and Earlsferry’ of California!     I’m hoping for a nice ‘drying day’ as I have a washing going through;   it is supposed to cloud over, but stay dry!
20.30     Today Jimmy and I visited St Monans and Pittenweem harbours;   Jimmy walked to the end of the middle pier in St Monans but didn’t leave the car at Pittenweem.     Harbours are never the warmest of places and they certainly weren’t today:  having said that it was braw getting out in the, very, fresh air.     Both St Monans and Pittenweem harbours had some visitors wander around, but Elie was the most popular, with visitors pottering about all over the place.

Most of the day I have been working around Ivy, including venturing into the garden with secateurs to prune some bushes;   ‘Spring’ must be in the air!     Oh I nearly forgot .... “Blob”, bless his feathery butt, is ‘in love’.    There are two Robins in the garden at times and ‘he’ is not seeing the other one orf!     And, another clue to Spring being just ‘roond the corner’;   the Thrush was giving it laldie from the lum-heid this morning, as was the Blackbird from another lum.    Yes, Spring is definitely in the air.    I expect that I will be frolicking about like a Spring lamb in the next few days!  
Most of you will know I have a ‘Wallace and Gromit’ alarm clock, that fires off at, what I thought was twenty to seven;  but is in fact twenty to six!    Nae wonder I saw
Pittenweem
the sunrise.... that event didn’t happen until 07.26 this morning.
Nae plans for tomorrow, but I do intend wandering along to Elie to see what’s happening along there ... and to pick up a paper.    Most of the work associated with being away has been caught up with;  just some slight chaos in the bedroom to sort out.    I’m off to do an ironing before I go to bed.

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

 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

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
