Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrning .....


13th May 2019 (Monday) .... 09.00    I had a catastrophe last night;  the
Balcarres Crag from Colinsburgh.
laptop I was using decided to take a rest.... the screen went blank, and everything stopped.    I have had to resurrect the ‘Acer’, which is a good laptop, but has a small screen and is not as good as the one that stopped working.   Anyway I am back online and a happy bunny.    I don’t know if I could cope with not being able to chat to my online friend via the Hutte, and Facebook.

We have a gorgeous morning  here, so I intend doing some work in the garden;  and taking time out for a daunder up to Chapel Green.    I have yet to order an e-bike but I will do that sometime today.
The beach at midday from Nana's Seat.

 16.30    My word .... ordering an E-bike is a tricky business:   actually I’m wrong in saying that.    Because I don’t spend money, in big quantities, the sudden spending of a large sum had the bank thinking of fraud, so it was blocked.   After a few phone calls the card was unblocked and the e-bike has been ordered.   I appreciate the Bank taking precautions;  it’s good to know that they are ‘on the ball’.    Anyway the e-bike is in the pipeline... though it will take a few days before it is delivered:  I don’t even know where it is coming from.
A lot of my time, this afternoon, has been spent on the laptop.... but I have also done some weeding.   Weeding can be done blindfolded in Ivy garden;   they are the predominant green things in the garden.   Actually some of have a bonnie yellow flower..... that turns into delicate fluffy seed head.  I also managed to take ‘time out’ and have a browse of the beach from Nana’s seat.   All is good.

 20.00    It has been a lovely day;  18c in the garden at one time.   According to the
Earlsferry beach at midday.
weather forecast it is going to be even warmer on Tuesday and Wednesday.    I have enjoyed ‘today’, even though it was frustrating trying to get the e-bike ordered.     I’ve had an e-mail to say that it will be delivered in five days;  that, most likely, means the beginning of next week.  
I see on the ‘News’ that Doris Day has died:    she was my ‘dream girl’ when I was sixteen!     Those were the ‘good young days’.  
 
With tomorrow being forecast to be another bonnie day, I will spend more time in the garden, and less on the computer.

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
