Early summer? ....


3rd December 2018 (Monday) .... 09.00    Who’s a happy bunny this
Sunrise!
morning?.... this boy is!    We had a gorgeous sunrise, with very little wind... and it’s dry.... as in it isn’t raining!   Everything in the garden is wet after yesterday’s rain but the hot... welll warmish ...  sun will soon dry that up!    I’m feeling very playful .... with a touch of skittish.    Off to have a shot of caffeine...  to celebrate ‘summer’ coming early!

12.30     Jim needed stuff at St Andrews, so we went up there first thing.    I’d intended going to “Ryman’s”  (Office Supplies)in Kirkcaldy, forgetting there was one in St Andrews;  so ....  today’s journey saved me a trip to Kirkcaldy.... and we got ‘moored up’ right at the shop door.   On the way home we went into “The Cheese Place” to have a bowl of soup and a cheese scone for lunch.    “When Myra’s away the boys will play”.... that’s our ... er ... Jim's motto!  
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
19.00    With it being such a beautiful afternoon I went up to Chapel green to have a walk around .... and .... ended up with a load of  ‘instructions’ from ‘The Boss’.    Chapel Green was busy.... with folk out enjoying  the sun.   What a difference from 24 hours ago.    I had thought of doing things in the garden,.... it was only a fleeting thought.      


I began printing off some Christmas cards last night;  and ordered more blank cards;  they’re being delivered tomorrow.    The delivery people give you a one our time slot during which they make the delivery.   That’s handy because it means I can go out if I need to.

Iain and I are going over to Arran, to visit Hazel (my granddaughter) who works, with the National Trust, on the island.      That will be a big change of scenery for the Hutte.    We’re only going for a couple of days but I should manage to take a few photos in that time!

What’s my ‘plan’ for ‘ra morra’?    I’ve got the DPD driver coming some time during
Looking East from Lundar Law.
the day;  I should know ‘when’...  after I check my Inbox in the morning.    Once I know the delivery I can formulate a ‘plan’.    ‘Formulate’ is a more important looking word than ‘make’.... very ‘Hutte’.

Tomorrow is going to be another “gentle breeze with loads of sunshine” kind of day... but colder.    In fact we might have a wee bit of frost in the morning.   Looks like tomorrow could be a good day for tidying up a wee bit o’ the garden!

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
