Fresh morning ....


17th May 2019 (Friday)     08.30 .... although there’s slightly more cloud
Anstruther from the Golf Club.
about this morning, we have a promising start to the day, and the forecast is good;    a good day for being out.    I actually began my day by sleeping in;  now I’m ready to rock n’ roll.    I’ll get the (Maggie’s ... the e-bike has yet to arrive) bike  out in the afternoon and go up to the Estate.  


20.00    Oh my word ..... I have been for lunch, at Anstruther Golf Club, with Calumn, Eleanor, Sandy and Maisie(?), Sandy and Eleanor’s granddaughter.   I also met Frazer, and Calum’s retriever pup Storm.   It was great catching up with all their ‘news’;   and there was much to catch up with.     Frazer is a young man now;  when I last saw him he would be about 12.   Eleanor and Sandy look really well;   their breaks in Portugal do them good.    Calumn hasn’t changed a bit, but then it isn’t that long since I saw him.    We
Eleanor.
had a really substantial ‘lite lunch’ at the ‘Club’... in fact I brought half of mine home as a ‘doggie bag’ for dinner.    The brilliant new is:   the ‘Craw’ is alive and well .... he’s where he belongs, ‘living in Anstruther, with Eleanor and Sandy, who have resurrected ‘him’ as “The Craw’s Nest Trust” (Regd. Charity No SCO 38696) logo!

I didn’t do very much in the morning;  but I did go for ‘morning coffee’ in Harbour House.    Laura suggested that I might be a good ‘plan’ to try a change of image as I was going out for lunch....  so I smartened myself up.    My natural/normal look is sort of .... clean, but unkempt I suppose.   Anyway I did enjoy lunch (and dinner) and
Sandy with Maisie(?).
catching up with all the ‘news’.
We have a change with the weather tomorrow.... an east wind with light rain off the North Sea.   Not promising, but it might brighten up later.   I’ll work on the computer if the weather is gloomy.
Oh .... the e-bike (I’ll need to come up with a name for ‘her’) has been despatched from the warehouse, but I don’t have an actual date for delivery but I imagine it will be early next week.   Not Tuesday... please don’t make it Tuesday ....  that’s the day the car goes to the garage in to get bits fixed.

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

 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
