In need of an adventure .... ....


31st July 2018 (Tuesday)     07.00 .... the sky is blue, (there are a few clouds
The Ferry High Street.
around) the weather forecast is good;    yes, I think we can look forward to a nice day.    There is a light breeze from the Southwest, so it will be comfortably warm.    As for ‘me’;   I’m feeling brighter this morning ....not as excited as a bag o’ ferrets, but definitely on the mend.   


22.00    It has been a nice enough day, but it was definitely cooler than of late;   especially when the sky clouded over, later in the afternoon.... and when the wind got up a bit.

I biked along to Elie and had coffee in Harbour House with the ‘Troops’.    I had intended going home by Elie Estate after I left Harbour House, but changed my mind when I looked at the sky.    It looked like there could be a shower or two.    As it was showers never came our way today:  I’ll do Elie Estate tomorrow.   Assuming the weather is agreeable.

Once again I’ve had a restful day;   falling asleep when doing a Soduko in the Hutte.    When I ‘surfaced’ I was full of get up and go;   so I pruned a Clematis that was threatening to engulf the Hutte.    This Clematis rarely flowers, but I think that it could be a late flowering one, and that I chop off most of the flower buds, .... every year.    It does produce a few flowers but it hasn’t been a prolific 'flowerer':  probably because of me being impatient.    I might give it a chance next year.   The other Clematis is loaded with flowers just now;   this is obviously it’s time of year.

Jim came down for our weekly cuppa and chat;   we talk about things local, most of the

time, though occasionally we sort out the politicians.    I saw in the News that they, the politicians, are not happy about ‘fake news’ on social media.     There’s no denying that ‘fake news’ is worrisome, evil, and can be divisive.    That said;   our politicians  use our news channels to get their own, sometimes cynical, messages across.... so some honesty wouldn’t go amiss on the 'political planet’.    When I think about it;   honesty and politician are two words that do not go together!

It’s been a breezy and grey evening, but the forecast for tomorrow is for the weather to be more or less the same as today’s, ... mostly grey, with the chance of light rain in the evening.

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

 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
