Another beautiful morning ....

18th May 2017 (Drop in Cafe Day) .... 08.00    we have a bonnie morning, a mix of clouds and sun just now, but  showers could develop later.    I have a washing
West end of Earlsferry.
out... so I’m hoping that ‘later’ is after the washing is dry.

I’ve been ‘up’ since 05.20... and was up to Chapel Green before 06.00.     There was a bonnie ‘light’ about, the tide was ‘in’ and there was hardly any wind .... perfect conditions for ‘reflection’ photos.   I’ll be up there with the Canon tomorrow morning.... if the weather is agreeable.
20.30     It seems a long time since this morning .... in point of fact it is a long time since I got out of bed;  which is, most likely, why I feel tired.    I have had a ‘productive’ day....  if  detaching weeds from planet Earth could be called ‘productive’.     Tomorrow is ‘broon bucket’ day and it can never go out empty!    I also pruned a flowering currant bush, and found a “foggy toddler’s” (Carder bee) nest;  they are not bothersome insects so I’ll leave it: 
Chapel Green path.
had it been a wasp nest it would have had to go.

The Drop in Cafe had a steady stream of customers, this afternoon.... with a contented buzz about the hall.    The ‘Cafe’ breaks off at the end of June for the summer holiday .... we’ll miss it for the few weeks it’s ‘off’.  That said the ‘Coffee Morning’ season is starting, with the Guild one in the Kirk Hall on Saturday.    I may have to go to the kirk on Sunday to get a ‘pew leaflet’ with the  “CM” dates.     I must remember to get some ‘bed time reading’ books on Saturday:   Gareth is i/c book stall so I’ll have a good browse.

The “Oak House” and it’s neighbour are making good progress, with both of them encased in the ‘breather membrane’  that is fitted before the stone/brick cladding that will complete the outside of the houses.    There are another two houses to be built on
Kincraig Cliffs, Earlsferry,
this site.

My ‘plan’ is to get orf to bed early, and get ‘up’ early tomorrow morning;   the weather forecast for tomorrow is good, ... unfortunately Saturday’s is not.   The Coffee Morning on Saturday will brighten up any dour weather we might get.

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

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
