Serene morning ....

28th November 2017 (Tuesday) .... 10.00    We have a serene kind of morning .... a really nice one for having a slow amble along the beach etc.... and that is
It's like being in a dream ..... then again I probably am!
what I did.    I was out for an hour enjoying the relaxing mood .... everything seemed to be moving in slow motion ... even the waves, they  were of  flopping kind, and flopped lazily.    I think I like ‘lazy’.    The only other person I met was Jenny walking her dog, and like me, she was enjoying the quiet .... and the fact that it is warmer today!

I will have to stay around Ivy most of the day, waiting for  DPD delivery .... usually later in the afternoon.     Until then I’ll occupy myself doing stuff around Ivy... like printing orf my Christmas cards.
22.00     My word .... the ‘Boy’ (that’s me) has been a happy boy today;     I don’t know why but I got into a sort of working mode .... as in house.    Oh the chair arrived, and I am much pleased with it... in fact it’s better than I thought it would be.... very comfortable, and easy to get out of without stressing hips and knees.     I am also very
Earlsferry High Street.
impressed with the delivery company DPD, they give you an hour long time slot, and turn up in the first quarter of an hour of that slot.... or have done the three times I’ve had them deliver ‘stuff’.

While waiting for delivery I decided to do an ironing, which was easy.    I then made my downy into its winter mode .... that wasn’t.    Easy that is.    It’s one of those downy’s that can be either 9.5, 4.5. or 14 tog.     It was easy clipping the two (9.5 and 4.5) together with the studs, but getting it, the winter downy, into the cover was something else.   When I was crawling about, inside the cover, the phone rang;   by the time I got to the phone it had stopped ringing.   It was someone flogging something;  I know this because they didn’t leave a message.... and the source was ‘unavailable/international’.    I went back to the
A bonnie end to a bonnie day.
downy.    It is now on the bed and looks very cosy .... but that was after a another bumble around inside the cover getting the bottom corners in place.

Jim came down in the evening for a blether, and to try out the new chair.   One of the topics we discussed, was the Sinai peninsula and its historical place in Christianity:   Moses and the Ten Commandments etc.... and St Catherine’s Monastery.    Jim and Myra have been there.


Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be a ‘good drying day’ so I’ll wash the downy cover;   the one I extracted the ‘summer’ downy from.    Jim and I will probably go up to Laura’s for coffee at 10.00 (ish).     We have the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch at 12.30.

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
