Cracker of a sunrise on the beach ....


8th November 2018 (Thursday) .... 11.30   When having morning coffee
Actual sunrise time!
in Harbour House this morning, Joyce reminded me that I hadn’t done the ‘Hutte’!     My excuse is that I was so excited by this morning’s sunrise, and sorting out some sunrise photographs for FB that it was 10.00 before I knew it.   10.00 is coffee time.   Apologies for me being forgetful;   I’d sit on the ‘naughty’ step but, lucky for me, Ivy doesn’t have stairs.
We have a lovely morning, though it can feel chilly in the brisk SE breeze....and it looks like we might get a light shower later.    I don’t have ‘plan’ for today;  except that I must remember that it’s the History Society AGM tonight:  I have been invited to become an Honorary member .... an invitation I am happy to accept.    I won’t have to salute Alan anymore... and, more importantly perhaps, Rosie, won’t have to chase me up every year for my Membership fees!

Peaceful Firth of Forth.

16.00     I ended up with a migraine after lunch;  absolutely self inflicted because I know that chocolate is one of the main triggers, and I had a chocolate biscuit.   After ‘50’ in front of the tele (watching the New), and a couple of pills, the chocolate has been neutralised and I’m feeling mair playful again.    By the time this happened the sky had clouded over, and now has the, threatening rain look.   In fact light rain is forecast overnight.... and at times tomorrow.
After a cuppa I felt explorative  so ‘jamp’ in the car and did my regular Balbuthie Loan run stopping to take the photograph of “Kinneuchar on a dull day”;    Kinneuchar, even on a dull day, is bonnie. ... but it does take sunshine to bring out the
best of the autumn colours.
Kinneuchar on a dull day.

21.30     So ... there’s me bumbling along to the History Society meeting, thinking I was going to wander in 20 minutes early;  only to find I was, actually 10 minutes late!  .... (when I think of it that isn’t bad by my standards ... sometimes I’m  a day out).   The meeting was set for 19.00 .... not 19.30 as I thought.    Anyway I am now a very proud Honorary Member of the local History Society.... and yes... Rosie did heave a big sigh of relief!

We have a wet evening here... as was forecast... but most of the rain should pass over us during the night and first part of the morning.


I’m absolutely shattered tonight, so it’s off to bed for this boy.    If it’s raining in the morning I’ll have ‘sleep in’:  I've put the bucket oot so I don't have to worry about that.

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

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
