Colinsburgh 'Lite Lunch' .....

1st November 2017 (Wednesday) .... 07.30     I’m feeling bright and breezy this morning  .... in spite of the fact that we have a gloomy start to November;
There's a Coffee Morning in the Earlsferry hall on Saturday!
  the sky is heavily overcast, with the chance of rain by the look of it.    I think it might brighten up in the afternoon.... much like it did yesterday.    The Colinsburgh ‘Lite Lunch’ will brighten our day up, regardless of the weather.   Must ‘go’... slight flap on ... got to have a cuppa.
20.00     The Colinsburgh Lite Lunch did brighten up our day .... the food was very enjoyable, with very tasty soup, and even tastier plum pudding... followed by a cuppa and much chat.   Loved it. 

Today I fed the  ‘girls’ at exactly midday.... usually it’s around 12.30, but I had the ‘Colinsburgh Lunch’ at 12.30.   It was beginning to spit rain when I set off from Ivy, and it was raining when I reached the girls.   They are a friendly bunch;  and they love their grub.   Today I gave them mixed salad leaves for greens ... I made sure there wasn’t lettuce in the mix;   not good for ‘girls’ is lettuce.    The biggest surprise has

been watching them devour the yoghurt.    They keep producing eggs ... so far two every day bar one ... when I got three.

The attitude of the Spanish Government to Catalonia is worry-some;  but not surprising I suppose.   ‘Ruling Societies ’, both left and right, the world over are always happy with the status quo... where the system is geared to them keeping control, and becoming ever richer at the expense of the vast majority.    Just like it was before the Reformation.   Oh we have a better standard of living, but not thanks to the ‘Rulers’;   everything we’ve got, has had to be fought for .... it’s only a hundred years ago that women were being persecuted, and prosecuted,  for daring to want the vote!    Hey that was a good moan .... I enjoyed that!    I’m practicing for when I’m old!

Tomorrow we are going to have wall to wall, “bright and sunny” ... oh .... and colder.
Moonlit Elie Bay.
   I will do a washing, even though there is only going to be a light westerly breeze;   actually I might put the washing through the machine tonight ... that way it will be ready to hang out first thing.

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
