'Trinity' Church Guild Coffee Morning .....

18th November 2017 (Saturday) .... 09.00    There was hardly any wind when I was on the beach this morning, so, although the temperature was near freezing,

it doesn’t feel as cold as it did yesterday;  having said that the wind is forecast to get ‘up’ with the rising tide.

Ian is coming down from Auchnagatt this morning, so it will be all action this weekend.    He’s only here until Jimmy’s funeral (Monday).    Hopefully the weather will stay fine... if cauld;  the forecast for the next couple of days is good.     Must ‘go’ slight ‘flap on’ ... got a Coffee Morning (laden with goodies) to ‘grace with my presence’.
20.30     Iain arrived at lunch time, and, having bought sandwiches (salmon) on the way down from Auchnagatt, we had those for lunch....followed by ‘goodies bought at the Coffee Morning.    A tasty lunch actually.    The Coffee Morning was excellent, but seemed quieter than usual;   that said, it was very enjoyable, with plenty of tea/coffee

and scones, and chat.

Re the time of Jimmy’s funeral service at Kilconquhar Church.   The Death Notice in Thursday’s Dundee Courier, had the time as 1.p.m.... this was wrong.   The mistake has been corrected in today’s Courier, ....  the actual time of the service being 1.30 p.m. on Monday, 20th November. 

This has been a lovely day, but cold, especially exposed to the brisk wind.    Iain and I went for a walk up to Chapel Green in the afternoon;   it was very cold walking up Sea Tangle road, where we had the wind in our faces, but, more enjoyable as soon as we turned side on to the wind.... even better when the wind

was on our backs.   We had a good bumble around Chapel Green with the cameras;  finding sheltered places from which to ‘shoot’.

Tomorrow the ‘plan’ is to go to Leven to take Iain’s car through the car wash;  followed by a cuppa in Sainsbury’s.    The weather forecast for tomorrow is pretty much the same as today’s:  the forecast for Monday is not good.    The wind is to be Easterly for a time with rain.

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
