Unveiling of Interpretation Boards .....


27th August 2018 (Monday) .... 08.30    There’s a lot of cloud about but also a good mix of blue patches, giving us spells of sunshine;   and, with a brisk

westerly wind, it is cool.    I’ve been for the paper, and milk;  the milk being a vital ingredient with my Weetabix.    I’ll have a cuppa, then organise the camera for a daunder round Chapel Green at the unveiling ceremony.


20.30     Not only has this been a bonnie day, it has also been an exciting one.    It’s not often that I have the chance to photograph events, but the unveiling of the Interpretation Boards by Elizabeth Riches MBE certainly remedied that:  it was perfect:  captive’ models’ all over the place, and plenty of action.... oh... and chat.    The weather was just right, sunny, with a nice wind to get action shots of  Elizabeth doing the unveiling.   After the Chapel Green unveiling we had a very enjoyable buffet lunch in the Pavilion .... great food and great company.    Loved it all.

I missed the Mars’ Boy’s board being unveiled at the Sailing Club;  that was done early.... but I did get some general photographs of the crowd.   This has been one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in a while:  we need more “unveiling’s”... they are enjoyable;  and I say ‘Thank You’ to the Elie and Earlsferry History Society for inviting me.  

Later in the afternoon, after I’d checked out the photographs I’d taken (131) I ran Myra along to Lundin Links to pick up her car which had been in for a check up.

Finally I have even more thrilling ‘news’;...  congratulations, to John and Emily (my

granddaughter) who have got engaged.    This has been one thrilling, and memorable day.   I’m on a diet!  

I think that ‘The Boy’ will sleep well tonight.    No ‘plan’ for tomorrow, bit if the weather is as it is forecast to be, I might paint a bit of the shed.    We are to have a repeat of today’s weather ... tomorrow;    minus the excitement.

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

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
