Lovely autumn morning ....

11th September 2017 (Monday) .... 09.30    Instead of going to the beach for my morning walk, I wandered up to the ‘Pony Field’ to have a look at the
Sleepy looking Earlsferry.
villages from a different viewpoint:  it’s usually evening when I go up to the ‘Pony Field’... to catch the, romantic, late sunlight.    The villages looked darker because the sun was behind a cloud when I got to the old ROC Post.    Conclusion:  the evening is the time to go up to the Pony Field.
21.30     Yes the evening is the best time to go up to the Pony Field;  so, what do I do?    Go up to Chapel Green.     Actually you get bonnie shots of Elie in the evening sunshine from Chapel Green.    Conclusion:  The ‘Royal Burgh’ and the ‘Royal Consort’ are both, extremely, photogenic, at all times of the day.
I’ve had a busy sort of day.    After our morning cuppa, Jimmy and I went along to
Evening sunlit Berwick Law.
Leven.    I wanted to hand some books into a charity shop, and Jimmy wanted to buy ‘Lotus’ biscuits ... to go with our coffee/tea.   By the time we got back to Elie it was lunch time.    “Puku” (bless his lovely nine pack) likes his food!

After lunch (and ‘50’) I decided to go up to Colinsburgh to fuel up the car:  I did this twice.    The first time, just before I got to Colinsburgh, I found that I’d left my wallet at home... so, I bumbled past the petrol station.    The second time I did everything ‘parfectly’.   There nothing more enjoyable than a couple of trips to Colinsburgh,....  in rapid succession.   Note to me:  I must remember to pick up my wallet as well as the camera, when I’m going out!

In the afternoon I decided to make Macaroni Cheese, for tonight’s dinner, and to freeze as ‘ready meals’.    Jimmy arrived for an afternoon cuppa;  which was handy, because
Elie in evening sun.
I suddenly found out that I didn’t have enough milk for the Macaroni Cheese.   When we’d finished blethering I ‘jamp’ in the car and went to Elie for milk.    The Macaroni Cheese has been made, it tastes braw, and I got four ‘ready meals’ for freezing. 
Tomorrow’s weather:  mostly bright and sunny.    It could be a good day for drying a washing!

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
