Cracker of a morning ....


3rd July 2018 (Tuesday) ... 08.00     Wellll ... what can I sat?..... we have a cracker of a morning at the Centre of the Universe;   yes, it is cloudy just now, but that
The Ferry High Street.
will burn back....the main thing is that there is only a smirr of a breeze from the east.      The beach was quiet.... I had it to myself in fact, but I was lucky when taking a photo  of the Ferry High Street;  a lassie came along and I asked if it would be okay to have her in the photo, ... walking into ‘The Royal Burgh’.    She was happy with that.    What a difference it makes to a photograph when there is ‘life’ in it.   I’m a happy bunny this morning .... mostly because the east wind has dropped!    I’m going to Leven after breakfast;   need to buy food for ‘Blob’ and Co.


Peaceful morning.
22.00    This has been a really gorgeous day;  and the breeze made the temperature bearable.    My trip to Leven went as per ‘plan’, in fact I bought, everything I set out to do.   That itself is a major surprise;   there’s usually always something that I forget.   I even remembered to go to Elie to pick up my prescription.... and have coffee in Harbour House.   That took care of the morning.

My afternoon was taken up with getting clothes organised for next week, and working (gently) in the garden:  during the hottest part of the day I watched Sweden and Switzerland in the World Cup.   I had to fit up the hose so that I could water the roses;  obviously this is not a proper Scottish summer:   in a proper Scottish summer we would get copious amounts of rain.   Having said that,...  I am enjoying this sunny weather.
Elie.
Jim came down in the evening for a cuppa and to talk about mostly things local.    When I think about it England v Columbia was on the tele this evening;  we forgot about that.   I’ll find out who won after this update.

The bonnie weather is set to continue for another few days.... tomorrow is going to be warmer than today.    My ‘plan’ for tomorrow, and the next couple of days, is to do work around Ivy, with a break to bike up to Elie for the paper(s) and morning coffee at Harbour House.

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
