Feeling good ....


16th April 2018 (Monday)     08.00..... Mmmmm ..... we have an  overcast sky, and there has been light rain overnight;  but the grey sky looks like it could break
1959 Cadillac de Ville.
up, and give us a few bright spells later.     That’s when I’ll go out on the bike;  later.     Bumbling into Leven first thing after breakfast seems a good ‘plan’, in the hope that the weather brightens up by lunch time.    I am feeling good, .... certainly not as stiff as I expected to be, after yesterday’s gardening.    Orf to have breakfast, then I’ll probably go to Leven.


12.00     Oh my word .... I’m in a state of excitement.    I went to Leven .... and fell ‘in love’.    I met this lady on the High Street, she is lovely, and chatty .... and has stolen my heart;    a ‘ship that passed in the night’.    I had to go to Stuart’s to have a cuppa.   A pot of tea, and a scone, after indulging myself, I went to Sainsbury’s, where .... you won’t believe it .... I fell in love again;  this time with a 1959 Cadillac de Ville moored
Kinneuchar loch.
up in the car park.    I’ll need to go out on the bike to in the afternoon to get myself back down to Planet Earth.   Planet Alberto is fine.... but can develop a  wobble, now and again.


20.00    I’m back to normal, after an enjoyable afternoon run, on the bike.   In fact I hadn’t gone very far up Ferry Road when  I met Alex (Dowie ) originally from Colinsburgh, out for a walk with a lady friend.     It was good catching up with their ‘news’.   I’ve done a lot of talking today. ... in fact, I do a lot of talking every day.... if I can find someone looking for conversation.    After chatting for a few minutes we went our separate ways, Alex and friend to their car, me up Ferry Road to Kinneuchar Station, Elie Estate..... and Elie harbour. 

This has been the best day for me biking for a long time;   the wind, had veered to the West, hence my going up Ferry Road, with the wind on my tail, to do the Estate clockwise, rather than my usual, anti- clockwise direction.    The immature swans are
Elie Harbour.
still on the loch, and ‘Auld Grumpy’ was on patrol..... but, he was in a good mood, when I saw him.   Perhaps he likes the sunny weather too.

The harbour was quiet;  only David at his creel boat, and a few visitors bumbling around enjoying the Spring sunshine.   The yachts, and the other boats, bobbing about on their moorings again, are a very welcome sight.
  
We could wake up to light rain tomorrow morning, if the weather forecasters have got it right.    Unfortunately it is also going to be windy.   However any rain should clear away by lunch time, leaving us with showers and sunny spells.

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
