Aussie vegan chocolate crisp .....

24th December 2017 (Sunday) ..... 12.00     We have another overcast, dry morning;  in fact it is forecast to be so for the next couple of days.    Janice went
Aussie vegan chocolate  peanut crisp .... er ... biscuits.
down to Tesco’s earlier and the shop was mobbed, and there were cars queuing to get into the car park:   customers were shopping for various things that the shop had run out of by closing time yesterday.

18.00    Everything is ‘in place’ for Christmas Day.... Janice and Michael are doing the Christmas Lunch, ... for 7 adults, plus Darcy and Sullivan, (Leeann and Martyn’s children, Janice’s grandchildren .... my great grandchildren).   Oh dear .... I feel old-ish.    
I haven’t been out at all today, though I have been doing stuff on the computer .... and wrapping John’s present.  Actually I  feel that I may be coming down with a cold... so had ‘50’ in the afternoon.   It may be the fact that I had a migraine overnight, and I just need to sleep that orf.


JB made the Aussie Vegan Chocolate Crisp biscuits in today’s photo:  they went onto the tray as nine separate walnut sized blobs, which should have ended up as flat, round biscuits;   unfortunately something went slightly wrong somewhere .... we suspect that too much coconut oil was used.     Forget the lack of round biscuit shape ....  skinny rectangular ones are very tasty, and easy to eat.

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
