Ferry Hall Coffee Morning .....

4th November 2017 (Saturday) .... 07.30    Hmmmmm .... we’ve had a shower of rain, so everything is wet;   however it looks like being a bonnie enough
Some of 'the girls'.
day, though we might catch the odd shower later.   I’m looking forward to the Coffee Morning in the Town Hall .... having not been in the hall for a number of years.    Must go ‘slight flap on’ .... the ‘girls’ will be looking for their breakfast!
21.00     That’s another lovely, albeit on the cool side;  jackets, and woollen hats essential..... especially when I was down there in the late afternoon.   But I’m getting ahead of myself .... there was much action before late afternoon!
The Ferry Hall Coffee Morning was a popular event;   the background chatter was deafening at times.... always a good sign at coffee mornings!     Kirsty was there .... this is the fourth day in a row that Kirsty and I have bumped into each other:  we’d be talked about ... if there was enough people in the Ferry to spread the news!    I enjoyed catching up with Dave and Joyce... they live a long way off.... ‘East by’ .... in Elie.   Jimmy and I missed the Kinneuchar Coffee morning .... Steve bumbled his way in to the Ferry Hall and we ended up chatting.

This was my last day feeding, and chatting to, the ‘girls’ up at Balmonth.    I’m sure they will give Sandy and ‘M’ a welcome round of clucking;  and a few eggs, tomorrow morning.    I managed to get a photograph  that shows the difference between a ‘normal’ hen, and a rescued one, of the same breed.    I can’t remember the name of the breed, but they aren’t ‘Rhodies’ (Rhode Island Reds).   Sandy did tell me ... it might be Golden Comet.    They are bonnie, and happy ‘girls’.

Jimmy was running out of supplies so we went to Leven in the afternoon.   Traffic was being diverted at Balchrystie, and we had to travel to Leven via Largoward.... and the diversions were still active when we came back.    There had been a bad accident at Drumeldrie, between a car and a motor bike.

Tomorrow the ‘plan’ is to go to the kirk;   I’m looking forward to having a sleep in tomorrow morning;   as long as I get ‘up’ in time to go to the kirk.   This past week I have made a point of being up at Balmonth at 08.00 (ish)... and midday.  That’s the way it is with livestock;  they depend on us, being there with their food.    I think the biggest surprise for me was seeing them, devour yoghurt and pasta:  modern kitchen scraps when you think about
Evening time on the beach.
it.    At the end of the day I felt like I’d done a day’s work.... and ... I suppose I have to say it ... “I ain’t no chicken!”


Photographs : Top – the girls ... the one on the right is older, and has all her feathers;  the other ‘girls’ will look like her next Spring, Middle – The Ferry Hall this morning, and Bottom – I know this photo is repetitive, but I like to see folk enjoying ‘my’ beach,.... they  bring the beach, and a photograph to life!

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

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
