Feeling frolicsome .....

15th June 2017 (Thursday) .... 08.30     It’s ‘bright and breezy’ just now, with light rain/showers forecast for later.    I’m going to Leven to, hopefully, get my

haircut;  it depends on how busy the hairdresser is.    It’s not vital that I have my haircut, but it could be doing with a ‘tidy up’ for Auntie Johan’s funeral tomorrow.   I am now in ‘slight flap on’ mode.
20.30    Thursday is not the best day to go to the Hairdresser;   they are busy with ladies getting their hair done for the weekend etc.     However I was in Leven before 09.00, and managed to get ‘done’ before the busy time, although there was already one lady getting some kind of ‘treatment’ which involved stuff painted onto aluminium foil, then her hair was rolled into the aluminium:    when it comes to hair,  it is complicated being a ‘girl’.

Instead of going to Stuart’s for a cuppa and a scone, (which is what I’d normally do) I caught a bus to Kirkcaldy;  I wanted  a new white shirt, and there’s nae place in Leven where you can buy that, now that Cumming’s is long ‘gone’, so I went to Mark’s and

Spencer (Kirkcaldy) because I know that they always have a good choice of shirts..... and do a good Victoria Sponge cake.  

We had the ‘drop in Cafe’ this afternoon .... which was not quiet in decibels, though it was a wee while before the hall filled up.  Heavy clouds were beginning to build by ‘Cafe’ time, but I took a chance and biked along... not only that, I’d washed the ‘new shirt’ and hung it out;   I did not want rain.    Although we have had some heavy showers this afternoon/evening, I was back at Ivy before the first shower.... and the shirt was ready for ironing.

Apart from biking along to the ‘Cafe’... and a walk down to the beach this evening I have had a restful, if busy day.    I’m organised for tomorrow;   well as organised as I

will ever be.    I pick up Janet in Leven, about 09.00, and we’ll head North, stopping  at “Peggy Scott’s” for a cuppa before going over the Cairn o’ Mount to Banchory and on to Tarland.    The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’... cloudy but dry.    I do not like driving in rain, nor ‘bright and sunny’.... so cloudy is perfect.

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

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
