A 'Royal Burgh' wedding .... ....


29th September 2018 (Saturday) .... 08.00     The sky was heavily
'Royal Burgh' Wedding.

overcast at sunrise time, but there is a lot of blue in the sky now, and, because there’s a brisk (and cool) wind it is a really good ‘drying day’.   At this time I don’t have a ‘plan’;   I didn’t expect it to be quite as breezy, and cold as it is.... so I might not get any painting done.   However, because I have plenty other things needing to be done I will not be a bored bunny.

19.00     We had a ‘Royal Burgh’ Wedding’ today:  which added a bit of excitement to an otherwise quiet day.
 The bridal party set off from ‘Waverley’ in the Ferry High Street.    I spotted the wedding cars parked in Ferry road, and went out to get a few photos of them, a Bentley S1 (1955) and a Jaguar Mk2 (1964), however when I saw that the bridal party were leaving from ‘Waverley’ I decided to get a few photos of.... something even rarer than the two cars;  a ‘Royal Burgh’ wedding.    Congratulation to the Happy Couple ....
May the best ye've ever seen
Be the worst ye'll ever see
May a moose ne'er leave yer girnal
Wi' a tear drap in his e'e
May ye aye keep hale an' he'rty
Till ye're auld eneuch tae dee
May ye aye be jist as happy
As we wish ye aye tae be!

Sunrise time.
I have had a funny old day..... start at the beginning Alberto.... Okay.    Overnight I was buzzin’ and couldn’t sleep;    I felt like doing ‘ousework.    However I dare not do any work as I’d to rest my knee, so I read my book.    However the lack of sleep eventually caught up with me this afternoon;  I lay down on top of the bed and fell asleep, for two whole hours.    I suspect I won’t be sleeping again tonight.    I’ve discovered that Cortisone injections can mix up the sleep patterns (short term), and my sleep patterns are well mixed up.   Being short term I’m hoping to be back to normal by Monday.
You’ll have reasoned from the above that I have had a ‘lazy’ day;  which I have.    I’ll
The 'Ivy Cottage' apple tree.
take a couple of Paracetemol before bedtime tonight and try to get myself back into my normal rhythm.    In fact I might have a lie in tomorrow morning;  instead of getting up to catch the sunrise.

I took advantage of that fact that it has been a good ‘drying day’;   and it was...     my washing dried in ‘nae time’.    In fact if I’m creepin’ aboot at funny time overnight I will do the ironing.

It looks like we’re going to have another “bright and breezy” day tomorrow .... and cool.    I don’t have a  ‘plan’;  if I’m feeling frisky I’ll start getting organised for ‘JB’ arriving next  Thursday.

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
