Excited ....


30th July 2019 (Tuesday)     06.00.... it’s an absolute cracker o’ a mornin’; 
Kinneuchar loch and kirk
hardly and wind, with long sunny spells... and already the air feels warm.   Once the sun burns off the clouds it will be hot.... so I’m going out now with the camera.   I’ll ‘work after ‘morning coffee’ time.   Got to ‘go’ ....I’m feeling animated.


09.30    Oh my word ... what a morning.   I’ve been round the villages and through Elie Estate and got some ‘fantastical’ photos on the way.   I am a happy boy and well ready to do some work today;  after morning coffee.  It is going to be a lovely day so I might go up to ‘The Boss’s seat’ later in the afternoon.   But the ‘plan’ is to do at least some ‘work’ stuff.

Ditto ... at midday.

21.00    It has been a really lovely day and I have managed to enjoy the sunshine.... and do some ‘work’ stuff.    After morning coffee I went home by way of the estate again.... everything would be brighter at this time of day (about midday).    I don’t really like taking photos in the middle of the day, but The way the loch was first thing in the morning had mesmerised me and I just had to go.    It wasn’t quite as good as in the morning;  the breeze had freshened some and taken some of the mirror kook off it.   It was enthralling nonetheless ... and yes;  I did get a few more photographs;  though, as I've already said, it's not my favourite time of day for doing that.   What I did get was a good set of pictures of Donald starting to combine a field next to Ferry road.   Yes its harvest time again.   In ‘nae time it will be autumn.    It’s only ... no I’m not going to do that.    (Tell you how many days it is until Christmas!)   It's not a lot!

I’d like to say that the bedroom is coming on apace, but it isn’t:  that said I have done
Donald with the combine .... yep it's harvest time again.
well today, and I am feeling tired now, but I get diverted.    Anyway Michael and Janice aren’t coming until Monday.   Loads o’ time.... and the yellow warning is still active for tomorrow, but it has been 'put back'  until midday tomorrow;  so I’m thinking we might catch one of the thundery showers.... in other words a day for working.   When I think about it, I have a car someplace;   I’d better give it a turn... it will be feeling unloved.

The Northwest of England has had a crop of lightning strikes in the last hour, probably the forerunner of the stuff that’s coming our way over the next 24 hours or so.
I’m thinkin’ it’s nigh on bed time;  my eyelids think I’m already in bed.

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
