Feeling friskier ....

26th November 2017 (Sunday) .... There’s a touch of frost again this morning, with a, more or less, ‘wall to wall’ blue sky and a brisk breeze;   wrap up
Looking across to Earlsferry from the Elie end of the bay .... (2015).
well and  enjoy!   

 I am feeling brighter today, but I missed a coffee morning yesterday.... and a coffee morning, with loads of chat, would have got me out of the doldrums.    However,  there’s coffee and chat before the Church service (Kilconquhar);   I’m looking forward to that.    The master ‘plan’ is to go for a walk in the afternoon.
20.30    We had a christening  at the Kinneuchar kirk service today.... and the wee one took an active part .... letting us know that she was there.    I like that at any christening.    That, said the last christening I was at in Kinneuchar was “Skipper’s” .... luckily he didn’t let us know he was there.    The kirk was busy .... and the singing braw.   I didn’t contribute ... to the singing, but I did go up early for the coffee .... wellll ... tea actually...  ‘cos I’d  already had a mug o’ coffee.     Too much coffee has me
The beacon Earlsferry (2015) .... with Arthur's Seat in the background.
talking even more than usual:  not good. 

Myra and Jim picked me up, from Ivy, after the service, and we went to Harbour House for coffee, a scone, and a blether.    Jim’s car is in dry dock, and the car  they, Jim and Myra, are temporarily driving is definitely not a Jim car ... its tiny!    Suits Myra!
In the afternoon I caught up with some ‘ousework .... including some of the ironing .... before going out for a walk in the late afternoon .... i.e. gloamin’.    It was braw, windy but not as cold;   not the biting cold of the morning i.e.    A short spell of rain is due to pass over us in the early
Gloamin' time today.
part of the night, clearing away by morning:   we should waken to a bright and windy morning.... and probably cold.  


 Tomorrow’s plan? .... I have a dental appointment so that will take up the morning:   the appointment isn’t until 11.55 but I’ll go along to Anstruther early, and have a walk along Shore Street.... see if I come across any ex Craw’s Nest pals.

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
