Windy but nice for walking .....

22nd  February 2017 (Wednesday) ....  10.30  Jings there’s a fair breeze blowing today.... it certainly blows the cobwebs away.    “Storm Doris” is on ‘her’ way
Elie.
right enough.    I walked over the ‘wee course’ and down Woodside Road then back home, via a meandering route, to Ivy ... a total distance of 3.46 kilometres (2.1 miles).    I had two stops: the first one at the surgery to make an appointment, the second at the ‘Paper Shop’.    I had 94 subsidiary stops ... to take photographs!    I feel really fresh... and lively .... I  might go out again in the afternoon... after the light lunch at Colinsburgh.

21.30     Oh my word:   it seems that storm ‘Doris’ is going to disturb the tranquillity that exists at the Centre of the Universe;   we might waken up to s-n-o-w tomorrow morning.   This is ‘bad’ .... in fact it’s ‘bad bad’.     Of course the snow might only be on the higher ground .... such as the ‘Pony Field!    In anticipation, of naughty ‘Doris’, I transferred a Lemon Meringue Pie from the freezer to the fridge:   Jimmy and I will have a quarter each in the morning... and depending on how bad the weather is, we’ll have another quarter each in the afternoon.   We won’t have any chocolate!    “Puku” likes bad bad weather.

I’ve had a ‘happy’ day .... talking to lots of folk.     I went up to the ‘lite bite’ lunch at Colinsburgh and had great time:  I feel that I am back ‘home’ again.... it’s great what a bit of blethering can do.    Having said that my bedtime reading:   a book I got for Christmas called “A Sussex Miscellany” is full of Sussex lore, and history ... all of

which is interesting, and some of which  =’s places to visit.   

Elie was looking good, (it always does), this morning;  and there seemed to be a lot ‘going on’... perhaps it was the wind that gave me this impression.   I, without doubt, enjoyed my walk:   unfortunately, if ‘Doris’ is as ‘naughty’ as she is forecast to be .... walking might not be on the agenda tomorrow.    Eating Lemon Meringue Pie will be!
My router is acting up.... probably a weather thing.    It’ll settle down in a wee while I imagine;   I’m hoping to update the Hutte 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

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
