Crackin' mornin' ....


10th May 2019 (Friday)       06.30    What a cracker of a start to the day:
"Good Morning" from sunny Earlsferry.
  I’ve been to the beach to watch the sunrise, which event was at 05.08.... though it doesn’t rise above the village (viewed from the beach) for about another five minutes.   It was a bonnie time to be up and about.... the best time of day because you can hear the sounds of the planet.   Now I need to have breakfast, .... and a much needed cuppa.

20.30   The cracking star to the day, lasted the whole day;  and it has been not only sunny, but warmer too.   Funnily enough I didn’t do very much today.   Oh I went for the paper, and coffee in Harbour House,..... then up to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car.   Elie has a sink hole;   a proper, metre sized cube shaped hole has appeared in Geoff’s lawn.    Actually this is the second one to appear;  the first one, in Geoff’s driveway, appeared a few months ago and is now covered by a solid steel plate.   Both sink holes are awaiting someone to claim them.   The road is subsiding too.   Scottish Water came and had a look, but decided that it was not their problem, and there the sink holes rest.    Two, extremely worrying, problems (three when you count the road);   the source of which needs to be found .... and remedied.   Hopefully no more appear.

Chapel Green, Earlsferry just after sunrise.
I ended up having a lazy afternoon;  in fact I fell asleep in the Hutte for half an hour.   Not surprising really .... I was ‘up’ at 04.30 to watch the sunrise.    I did hang the ‘troop’ pictures on another wall, and did some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ and general tidying up when I was finished .... and in the mood.
Tomorrow looks like being another day like today.... sunny spells with a light easterly
Sink hole in Geoff's lawn.
breeze;  and warm(ish) out of the wind.   I don’t have anything planned for tomorrow;   I’ll see how the mood takes me after breakfast.... if it’s a quiet morning I might get the bike out.    Bike.... that reminds me:  Iain is bringing his and Jackie’s battery assisted bikes down tomorrow.   The plan is to bumble around on the e-bike(s) on Sunday so that I can get the hang of it and get one of my own.   I am excited.      Must go .... got a helmet to look out.

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
