Breezy morning ....

5th April 2017 (Wednesday) ... 09.00    The weather is much the sane as yesterday’s... cloudy with occasional sunny spells;  the sun might break through for a
Isn't this lovely ....  trees hugging!
‘longer spell’ in the afternoon.     It’s nice down on the beach, which had a number of folk out enjoying a pre- breakfast breath of fresh air.   I have some ‘paper work’ to do before I get active .... and a flower to plant;   I feel a touch of tiredness coming on!
20.30     I am really tired tonight;  all day I’ve been feeling energetic and have used this energy.    I suspect that I may well sleep in tomorrow morning.  
First thing after breakfast I went out into the garden and did some ‘real work’... and enjoyed it.    ‘Real work’ means serious heavy duty weeding, so much so that the ‘broon bucket’ is ‘full’.... and not overweight.    I was surprised at how good I felt;  perhaps the biking is beginning to have an effect.

I worked in the garden for an hour or so then went up to Chapel Green on the bike,
St Monans .
where I bumped into Jimmy resting on “The Boss’s Seat”.    We sat a while, then Jimmy went off round to “Alice’s Seat”;  I took some photos of the ‘Daffies’, before I set off for Ivy, to put on the kettle.   Jimmy duly turned up and we sat in ‘The Hutte’ watching the birds on the feeders, until it was lunch time.

Still feeling energetic, I biked along to Jimmy’s and polished a bit more of the car, then biked home to Ivy via the Estate.    Even though you can’t really see the size of it properly, because it is surrounded by scaffolding, the ‘Oak House’ is going to be one big ‘olde’ house.    It’s interesting watching the men building it .... all the pieces fit together like a big jigsaw.... and most of them are big, and therefore heavy, pieces, that require a crane to

lift them..   It’s relaxing watching people working.

The garden ‘Operational Plan’ for tomorrow depends on how stiff my muscles are after today’s efforts.    Mind you, there won’t be that much time for gardening tomorrow,  Jimmy wants to go shopping;   we’ll be doing that sometime in the morning, because we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.    Cannae miss that!

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

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
