Perky ... after a good nights sleep


27th September 2018 (Thursday) ....  08.30   We have ‘bright and
Grey ....  and breezy morning.
breezy’ this morning;  and this is forecast for the remainder of ‘today’;   a  nice morning... and a good drying one.... but rain is mentioned in the forecast. After the marathon coach trip yesterday,  I had 8 hours unbroken sleep last night.... my word I was tired.    Feeling perky this morning though.

I’m getting a cortisone injection in my knee this morning;  so ... I’d better get a move on.  
  
14.00     This is the ‘Drop in Cafe’ day;   and I missed the last one as I was waiting for an Amazon delivery (new printer).... so I don’t intend missing it today.    There’s also the Apple Fest in the Kirk Hall;  this is on at the same time so I might bumble round to that after the ‘Cafe’.    I’ve been for the paper(s) and coffee in Harbour House.... oh ... and I had my cortisone injection.   I won’t know for a couple of days if that has worked, but hopefully it will.    When they work they are small miracles..... more or less walking normally for a few months.    I see spots of rain hitting the window so it’s not a bonnie
Earlsferry this afternoon.
afternoon..... at least we're not being bothered by dust.
20.00    We have a bonnie evening .... in fact if I hadn’t had the cortisone injection I’d go to the beach;  however I’m supposed to rest for a couple of days.... and I’m feeling ‘light headed’.   I did have a walk to the beach in the afternoon.


The ‘Apple Fest’ and the ‘Drop in Cafe’ were combined, and held in the Kirk Hall.    Bob told us the history of the apple, including the ‘Elie Apple’!    We sampled three different apple juices, and had to write down our impression of each one:  the juice with the most votes turned out to be the one I buy in Sainsbury’s!    I can’t get over there being no record of an Earlsferry Apple!    Having said that (well written it)....  an Earlsferry apple would have been a really ancient, and a famous apple: the one that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden perhaps?    Yes that would be it! 

We’ve just has a ‘red sky at night, the shepherd’s delight’ sky;  tomorrow is going to be
Sunset sky.
a nice day of sunshine, with a light wind, but cool.    Tonight the temperature is dropping to about 2c.   It will be an early night in the cosy Royal Burgh tonight I’m thinkin’.

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
