Oh my word ... another cracker of a morning


4th July 2018 (Wednesday) ....happy Independence Day to all my
Perfect morning.
American friends, wherever you may be;   enjoy ‘Your’ Day.
We have another absolutely cracker of a morning here;  sunny and warm, with only a light breeze .... it could be hot by midday.   When I set out for my morning walk I intended going up to the Pony Field and across to the third tee;  however, with it being a bonnie morning I ended up going across the golf course to West Bay, then round Chapel Green and home by the beach.   As long as there are plenty seats to have short breaks on I can cover a fair distance... albeit painfully.    
I was lucky again this morning, with two ‘live’ photos;  one of a lady walking out on Sea Tangle road to West Bay, and another of a lady going for a swim, with her two dogs.    (On both occasions I asked the girls if it would be Okay to take their photos).  
Kincraig cliffs from the 15th fairway..
Strangely enough there are very few men walking dogs in the morning.;  though I did see a pair of male joggers in the distance.
I’m a happy bunny this morning.... all I need to do now is get the bike out to go up for the papers.    And coffee in harbour House. 
 

20.30     After a busy day I am well ready for my bed;  but not just yet.    Most of the morning was spent walking, then biking up to Elie ... and having coffee in Harbour House with Geoff... and Laura.    Myra and Jim were otherwise engaged today.
It was hot in Ivy garden in the afternoon, 25c at one time, so I did ‘ousework .... and ironed yesterday’s washing;   anything to be out of the heat.   That said, this has been a good sequence of ‘drying days’.... and it’s a long time since we had that.    I get up in the morning wondering what I can put into the washing machine!    However the sky

has clouded over during the evening time, and the forecast is for it to be cloudier tomorrow .... but warm.

We don’t have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ tomorrow afternoon;   it will have to be Ivy coffee .... or .... I could bike up to Harbour House.    I’ll see what I am doing .... and how hot it is.

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
