Busy morning .....

3rd August 2017 (Thursday)    ... 12.00    Mmmmmm .... rain was mentioned in the weather forecast.... and rain we have:    not too heavy, in fact it’s
Kincraig from the 11th tee area.
pleasant stuff,  ..... apart from being wet!    I went out on the bike, before the rain arrived, then along to Leven, in the car, after breakfast.... I had to ‘top up’ with vital food stuff before the weekend.    That means the car is now ‘moored up’ for the weekend;  and that  I’ll travel round the villages by bike.    Must ‘go’, ever so slight ‘flap on’ .... I’m feeling hungry.
21.00     The rain cleared away about midday and we’ve had a lovely afternoon ... bright, breezy and warm.    The wind did ‘get up’ but even with the wind it felt pleasantly warm.   Warm enough for me to bike down to the harbour without a jacket.    The intention was to take my entries for the ‘exhibition’ down to the ‘Club’ .... but I forgot to take them with me.    Tomorrow is the last day to get them .... er ... slight ‘flap on’.    I have the photos ready all I have to do is stick a label on the back.
The Ferry beach.

The harbour was really busy this afternoon... not unexpected on a day like today.    And this is the busiest part of the holiday season.    Jimmy and I were sitting having a cuppa when Steve came in;   so we had a good ‘catch up’ chat.   

When I got back to Ivy I switched the kettle ‘on’, and finally ‘made up my mind’ on my final choice of photographs for tomorrow.     I’ll run them off A5 size instead of A4;  and I’ll have to get new self adhesive labels at the ‘Paper Shop’ tomorrow morning... having just found out that the  ones I have are only rectangular pieces of paper now, having lost their adhesive qualities.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘nae bad’ ..... much as it was today actually, with
The West end of Earlsferry beach.
less rain.     Apart from going to the ‘Paper Shop’ first thing.... then the ‘Sailing Club’, after I’ve labelled the photos, I have no ‘plan’.   I will most likely circumnavigate the villages when I’m out for the paper;  though that all depends on the weather.

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
