Nice morning ....


2nd October 2018 (Tuesday) .... 08.00     It’s a bright and breezy
10 minutes before sunrise.
morning;  exactly as the forecast said it would be.    It didn’t feel quite as cold on the beach as it was yesterday morning ..... maybe that was because I found a nook in the dunes to shelter from the wind.     I’m feeling in productive mode, so I’ll going to do some more bookshelf dusting... and I have an ironing to do.    That said, I always come off the beach feeling hungry.... so it’s breakfast and the cuppa first.


16.00   Wellll ..... it has been a bonnie ‘drying day’;  and I didn’t have any washing to do, however, I have finished dusting the bookshelves.... and had a migraine.   I took a couple of ‘migraine’ pills which had me sound asleep for a couple of hours:  I’m feeling better again .... though not ‘better enough’ to start doing anything like ‘work’.    I do feel that a cuppa would be beneficial, followed by a daunder to the beach.

21.30    I’m feeling brighter again after  a  really mixed up kind of day.     Irene came round with my Memory Stick, and a ‘thank you’ bunch of flowers.    This was for some family photographs I took a few weeks ago.   “ Thank You” Irene, and Andrew, the flowers are in a vase by  Maggie’s photograph.

Not long after Irene left, Jock arrived.    I searched high and low for Honor, but she wasn’t there.    Jock couldn’t stay long because he had to get back home to make the dinner.    We did have time to discuss how lucky Honor was .... having Jock at her ‘beck and call’.

Jim came down for our Tuesday evening cuppa and chat:   we discussed my ‘love life’.   That discussion was short lived.    We sorted out some old batteries for the skip at Pittenweem... then discussed things local;  a relaxing evening.

Tomorrow I must get organised for ‘JB’ arriving on Thursday:   I don’t have much to
Amazing progress since the 1940's!
do, but I will do a ‘shopping’ in the afternoon.     The ‘Emergency Rations’ tin needs topping up.   I pick up ‘JB’ from Ferrytoll on Thursday afternoon.    
The weather forecast is not too bad for tomorrow;  cloudier, with lighter winds and the chance of a shower.

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
