Brilliant run ....

6th July 2019 (Saturday)      06.00 ..... we have another bonnie start to the
Quiet corner.
day ‘sunny  (and warm)  with a light breeze’ .... though it is forecast to become cloudier later.    Rain is not expected at all for us today. .... not even a light shower.    I am having a cuppa before going out on the bike.    What..... not even a light shower?    

09.30    Oh my word .... what an absolutely  enjoyable poodle around I have had on the 

bike this morning.    The weather is perfect... or was perfect.... it’s beginning to cloud over a bit now .... and I, well, just enjoyed it.   I set off from Ivy at 06.15 and got back to Ivy at 08.20;   a contented , hungry boy.    And with 164 photographs ‘in the bag’... I have had a quick browse through the photos and I’m pleased with what I got.
I didn’t have a route in mind, apart from doing the usual village circle:  however I went
Lady's Tower - East Links.
out to the Lady’s Tower and the lighthouse, before going up to St Ford.    Not the longest run I’ve had (the phone was being charged so I couldn’t log the distance etc.) but just one of those slightly off the beaten track ones.
19.00     This has been one of those enjoyable and satisfying kind of days for me. It began with an early morning run on the bike, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and was followed by an equally enjoyable ‘morning coffee’ with the troops.   

I came across Gareth working at the Christian Aid bookstall, which had been set up at the kirk gate:  at one point he was signing to me that I should buy two books.   Those two missions  took up all morning.    I was also busy in the afternoon;   mostly
Christian Aid book stall.
pottering around The Hutte.    There are still some small bits and pieces to tidy away, but it, the Hutte is ready for summer.


Sadly some of the chairs at the Breakwater were burnt at the Breakwater last night/this morning.     Who (or what) set the fire going has yet to be found... at the moment it is being blamed on someone called Cul Prit.   Finding Cul Prit could be difficult.     It’s a pity the rain hadn’t been heavier and lasted longer!  

What am I going to do tomorrow morrrrning?    Well.... the first thing is that the wind is veering to the East tomorrow, which I do not like... and we might have a slight spot of dampness at the time I like going out.  Could it be a lie in morning?   I’ll see what it, the weather, looks like at 05.00.

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
