Bonnie sunrise ....

4th February 2018 (Sunday) ..... 09.00    At last;   I woke up in time to be down on the beach before sunrise.    With ‘sunrise’ happening at  08.03 (and it was not

hidden behind clouds)  it wasn’t ‘iggzactly’ an early start for me.... but it’s an improvement on the past few mornings;   I’m nearly back to normal ‘me’.    It’s a bonnie morning for a walk actually .... I may have a wee daunder up to the Pony Field after breakfast.....     I’d better not forget I’m going out for lunch at 12.30.
19.30     Ivan, Jenny and Adelaide arrived ‘bang on’ 12.30  to pick me up;  we were going to The Bank, in Anstruther for lunch.     You can rely on the food, and service, being excellent there.     I had sausages and mash;  one of my favourite meals.    After lunch, we went for a short daunder;  to help the digestive system.    The walk, out on the west Pier, was

terminated when it began to spit rain.

Back at Ivy (Cottage), I made a lovely mug of coffee.    I wonder .... could that be ‘fake news?’.    Yes .... it probably is.     Ivan entertained us with some real life, hilarious, work stories as we enjoyed the ‘extremely tasty’ coffee .... and skinny chocolate digestives.

I’ve been down on the beach twice today.... sunrise time, and sunset time.    It has been gorgeous all day all along the East Neuk.    I got a few pictures of the peaceful Centre of the Universe on both visits.

I’m tired tonight;  I always am when I come home from Sussex, and Aberdeenshire.   It must be the sea air!     This means another early night in bed.
Jenny, Ivan and Adelaide.... in Castle Street, Anstruther.


 Our weather for tomorrow is forecast to be much the same as today... perhaps colder.     The ‘plan’ is for me to go the garage, in Leven, in the morning, and   I’ll do any shopping that I can think of when along there:   a roll of roofing felt being one thing I need.     There’s a small bit of patching required on the wee shed.

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
