"Good Morrrrrrrrning" ......


20th April 2019 (Saturday) ....07.30     There’s a light breeze from the West

this morning;  so, for those with a tendency to ‘hay fever, the high pollen count could be bothersome today, as another hot day is forecast.

 09.00   It’s a quiet morning so I’ve been out on my bike ... for a turn round the ‘Royal Burgh’.   All the moving bits of the bike are functioning as they should;  and, more surprisingly, so are mine.     I will bike up to the 'paper shop'.... and  come home via Elie Estate..... maybe.  
   

12.00    Wellll .... the first thing I had to do when I got back from Elie was tighten the bike handle bars.... that’s one bit of the bike that shouldn’t be moving.     It made for an interesting run along to Elie!    Funny .... I never noticed that they were slack (I’d slackened the handle bars off to adjust them .... and hadn’t tightened properly) when I went round the village this morning;  though I did think the bumps on the road were affecting the steering.    Anyway .... all is well now.   I skipped the Elie Estate bit of the first trip out on my bike this year.
The harbour beach at 10.00.
19.30    Wellll ....  it has been another sunny, and hot, day  with the temperature hitting 20.5 in Ivy garden.    I just lingered in the Hutte.... making ‘plans’, and rescuing a Queen Bumble Bee that made several missed landings into the Hutte:  she was aiming for underneath the Hutte.... where she is building Her 'Royal' nest..   


The bike handle bars have been fixed so I will be biking down to the Easter Service at the harbour tomorrow morning.   The Harbour Service is followed by breakfast in the Kirk Hall.    After breakfast there’s the normal service in the kirk, then more food, lunch, again in the Kirk Hall.    All that will take care of the morning.... and I won’t

have to make food.     According to the ‘rools’ (which I have just read) the service at the harbour ‘kicks off’ at 08.15.    The forecast is ‘good to braw’!   ...‘, good’ will morph into ‘braw’ by mid morning.   It’s going to be hot, again, tomorrow.... with a light breeze from the SSW.   The wind is backing to the East on Monday.

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
