'Bright and breezy' morning ....


18th June 2019 (Tuesday)      09.00 .... The villages are looking good this
Lovely morning.
morning;  actually they always do regardless of the weather.   We have a ‘bright and breezy’ start to the day.... there’s still a coolness in the wind, but at least it’s a good drying so and I have a washing out!     I’ve been round the villages on the;  Chapel Green to the harbour, then home via the ‘paper shop’.    Distance travelled 5.85 kilometres (3.63 miles).    The ‘plan’ is to visit Jim and do a shopping after breakfast.... then do some work in the afternoon.
16.00    Oh my word .... will my delicate complexion cope with this hot dry air?   I think I need to dig out the sun cream!    And the shorts?   No .... not the shorts.   Yep we have a really nice summer’s day at the Centre of the Universe.... and I have been a busy boy.     I visited Jim as planned.... after I’d been to Leven PO, and Sainsbury’s.    Both the PO and Sainsbury’s were busy... which kind of surprised me because I’d timed
Earlsferry from the harbour.
it to be there at what I thought would be a quiet time.     I got to Leven Beach at 11.30, and was able to spend  half an hour with Jim  before the carers started to bring the Residents in for their lunch.    The Dining Room is used as a sitting room in between meals.     Marcia was visiting Iain so we had a ‘Ferry table’ .... and a good old ‘Ferry blether’.... but there wisnae any ‘secrets’ to divulge.    Jim was not in escape mode today.   
Back home by 12.30, I put all the messages away in their appropriate places.... had a lite lunch then had ‘50’.    My work efforts of yesterday had caught me up .... I was kn ... shattered.    I have done a wee bit of ‘work’ this afternoon, but have the urge to go out and enjoy the sun.

19.30    Instead of going out in the afternoon I enjoyed the sunshine while
Kincraig cliffs.
undercoating the flagpole... and pulling a few weeds.   Tomorrow is forecast to be even warmer and sunnier than today:  sun cream weather.    I’ll go out early and leaving the remainder of the day for morning coffee.... and work.    Work?   Well I might gloss bit of the flagpole.

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
