Fresher air ....


4th June 2018 (Monday) ....    Wellll .... there’s a  change of air this morning
A bit of colour on a foggy morning.
and I feel lively;   it’s not a ‘bonnie morning’, being foggy and grey, but the air feels healthier.    I haven’t been anywhere but, after a quick cuppa, I’m going to the beach to enjoy this freshness.   Slight flap on I feel like doing things, .... I haven’t felt as good as this for a few days.


10.00    The beach is quiet this morning;  welllll ...the bit that I could see was quiet;  a couple out for a morning walk and me.    The sun might break through later, but it doesn’t look  very promising;   might even get a few spits and spots of rain.    I’m not complaining ‘cos this weather suits me.... my frisky level, on a scale of 0 - 10 is at ‘10’.


The Breakwater .... 2004.
20.30     The mistiness remained with us all day, and it’s a foggy evening.... and cold with it.    I’d go down to the beach but there the fog makes even the beach look dejected.    I’ll have a mug o’ tea instead.

I haven’t done that much today.    I filled up the windscreen washer container on the car.    That took a while.    No, that’s not so ... finding how to open the bonnet took the time;   I had to Google that.    Filling up the ‘squirter’ bottle only took a minute.   I fancied going somewhere but, having checked the Weather Cams, and finding that the weather was dull all round Fife, I decided to stay at Ivy and pull a few weeds.    Luckily George came round in the afternoon and I was able to have some R and R.... and a good blether.

Somehow I managed to miss Elizabeth delivering the ‘Trinity Tribune’ (the Kirk magazine);   I must have been sound asleep at the time. ... right enough I did have ‘50’
Ferry High Street .... 2006.
in the middle of the afternoon.   The ‘Tribune’ has a list of dates for all the Coffee Mornings etc right through until the end of August.... oh..  and there’s other important ‘Kirk News’ as well.

We are forecast to have more, and longer, sunny spells tomorrow;   it could be a good day for working on the rhones tomorrow .... as long as it isn’t too hot.    It will certainly be a better day for going to the beach.    Oops, I nearly forgot  ... I have an appointment at the surgery tomorrow morning;   that will be the first part of the ‘plan’.

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
