Beautiful start to the day ....


2nd July 2019 (Tuesday)     05.30  ..... There’s a washing in the
Elie kirk tower.
machine, and I’m having a cuppa before going out on the bike;  oh .... we have a bonnie, almost wall to wall’ bloo sky this morning, with only a light breeze just now, but that is going to freshen later making this a perfect ‘drying day’.    Must ‘go’ .... and get out and back before the roads become busy.


08.00     It is lovely out.... but the air can be chilly when the sun goes behind a cloud.    Then again.... it is early morning:  it will be much warmer in a wee while.    I went round the villages from Chapel Green to the lighthouse, .... stopping to  taking photos from my favourite viewpoints.    It was quiet;   I only met John delivering the papers, and Marcia going out with the dogs. 


.....the other side of the  Granary and Sailing Club..
12.00     It is warmer, .... a perfect day for building sand castles.    Not that I would do that.... actually why not?     I used to enjoy a good ‘beach draining ‘session that would incorporate some kind of sand castle in it.   Anyway I’ve been to Pittenweem, and Harbour House for morning coffee with the troops;  Myra and Geoff.    Brenda was i/c.... and... oh my word Brenda’s hair colour has brightened my day, and I am in a state of excitement.    I am particularly fond of oranges, though I have never cuddled one.    Now I’m thinkin’.... “I hope Brenda likes oranges”!    Otherwise ‘yours truly’ could be up tae the neck in ‘orrible stuff.  Oh, writing aboot Brenda reminds me.... we had one of Brenda's Cheese and chives scones.... they are, (like her hair), absolutely scrumptious.
20.30    It has been a gorgeous day, in fact it was too hot to work in the garden this afternoon..... luckily George dropped by and we had a cuppa while resting in the Hutte....sheltered from the midday sun;   watching the washing dry .... in the midday

sun.    That reminds me I have an ironing to do;  that will be done while watching ‘Last of the Summer Wine’;  there hasn’t been much ‘work’ done this afternoon, hence the , slightly guilty, urge to do the ironing.   
 
I’ve looked at salaries of the top ten BBC presenters;   no wonder the BBC wants the over 75’s pay for their TV licence.    Right now I’m watching the England girls play USA in the Ladies Football World Cup semi final. ... on BBC1!   Oh ,,, the USA girls have scored.... and a cracker of a goal it was.

I haven’t made a  ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but the weather forecast is good so I should get something done in the garden.

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
