Contented boy ....


22nd March 2019 (Friday) .... 09.30     Mmmmm .... it’s overcast,  windy
Overcast morning.
and colder,  but not yet raining;   though it looks like it could rain later, but hopefully not here.  If it does rain I’m going to sort out my sock drawer;  that is a big job, with a lot of socks heading for the bin.

I woke up feeling really refreshed this morning, after a good night’s uninterrupted sleep.... I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night at all.   When I went to bed I felt truly contented;  I think my afternoon with the ‘Colinsburgh Girls’ relaxed me in a way that I haven’t been in a while.    I don’t know why that should be ..... it was like being ‘at home’.    My next Power Point Presentation is going  to be what I think are the best
Heavy sky over the cliffs.
photographs of my main ‘play area’:   that is a triangle, with Kilbrackmont as its apex, with one side going down to the coast at Lower Largo and the other to St Monans.   I’d enjoy doing that and it would be something I’d enjoy looking at when I’m old.

 16.00   We have had one short wet spell, but it has in fact been a ‘no bad’ day .... albeit cool in the wind.    I’ve been browsing photographs;  and ‘saving’ any that I might need, for my ‘when I grow old presentation(s).    I have still to make up my mind;  should I make one big presentation, or a few small ones?    Anyway I’ve made a start, and it’s a project that will keep me occupied on bad weather days:  I certainly have plenty of photographs to choose from.
It looks like the sky has brightened up so I’m going to go for a daunder.

 19.30     I went up to the golf course for the aforementioned ‘daunder’, but I had to
Ferry Road.
keep my eye on the weather because I could see a shower heading our way:  it was cold out there so I shortened the walk.... and got back to Ivy just as the shower reached the ‘Royal Burgh’.  
We’ve had a red sky sunset so we can look forward to a bonnie day tomorrow.... which is a bit of luck because the ‘troops’ are coming down from Auchnagatt; I’m looking forward to that.   That takes care of tomorrow’s ‘plan’.

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

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa

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
