Early morning frost ....


8th March 2019 (Friday) ....   08.30    Well .... we have a bonnie morning,
Sunrise over the East Links, Elie.
and the washing is on the line but I very much doubt if it will dry as there is only a light breeze .... and showers/light rain is forecast for the early afternoon.    I won’t be going far today .... only as far as Elie for the paper, and morning coffee.
We had a touch of frost, and a bonnie sunrise this morning:  the beach was quiet when I was there, though there had been one person, and a dog, before I bumbled my way down.... at sunrise. 

 20.00    For those of you who have worried about my washing today:   well,  it began to rain at 11.30 (we were leaving Harbour House at that time) so I was back at Ivy in time to rescue it (the washing) before the rain became really heavy.   Most of it was dry enough to iron;  a job that I might do later on this evening.    The forecast for tomorrow is ‘good’ so I’ll hang out anything that could do with a bit more drying.     Funny thing is that I enjoyed worrying about my washing:   it’s exciting being ‘me’ ....
Early sunlight on some Earlsferry beachfront houses.
and I’m easily pleased.    
The ‘Leven Beach’ care home, wherein Jim is ensconced, is a really nice place (I went along with Myra this afternoon).    The Staff are friendly (they make a braw cuppa) and Jim is quite settled in a room with a view over the Firth.... in fact he can see the southwest corner of the ‘Royal Burgh’ from his window.   It’s sad to see Jim inside when he was/is such an outdoor active person, but I was glad to see him looking less stressed.... and content even.    I’m a happier ‘boy’ tonight.

My ‘plan’ for this weekend is to get the Colinsburgh WRI girls Presentation photographs sorted out, and have the presentation complete by the middle of the week.    Most of the photographs are ‘in place’ but I want to add a few more Balcarres
Everything is good at the Centre of the Universe.
ones etc.    Frances dropped off the menu for their (Colinsburgh WRI) anniversary Dinner in May.   The girls have asked me to take  photographs of that event, and I am going to join them for the anniversary Dinner.  

My ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to work on the aforementioned presentation, take time out for morning coffee, then do some more ‘work’    The forecast is good so I might take a walk up to Chapel Green for a break in the afternoon.

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
