Calm morning....


22nd August 2019 (Thursday)      07.00 ....  There’s a  nice peaceful ‘feel’
Kinneuchar loch this morning.

 to this morning;  I think I’m feelin’ romantic.... or something.    We have a few clouds around but it looks like being a long sunny spells kind of morning:  rain is forecast for later in the afternoon, so the ‘plan’ is to play in the morning;,  then  sleep .... oops I mean ‘work’ in the afternoon.
09.00   My word .... it is a cracker o’ a mornin’ and I have enjoyed a really good bumble up to Kinneuchar, then home through the Estate, stopping to admire the new work shed that Stewart now works out of/in:  I had to go that way because there was a lorry unloading stuff at the new house being built next to George’s residential HQ.    I got some good loch photographs.... at least I think they should be good, but I haven’t sorted them out yet. 
Quiet corner of the loch.
Must ‘go’.... slight panic ‘on’ this morning;  it’s Janice’s Birthday tomorrow and I have to post her card.  In fact I have to buy it:  I have a card in the house but it’s more suitable for ‘JB’ than Janice.    For some obscure reason I always think Janice’s birthday is on the 26th (Aug).  This means that I’m probably missing someone’s birthday that is on the 26th!   That’s ma boy.


16.00    The panic situation was solved.... though I wouldn’t say ‘nae bother’.   Ian advised using the PO in Anstruther, so I promptly ‘bought and wrote’ then bumbled along to Anstruther;  it should be in Uckfield ‘ra morra’.     Happy bunny again.    I enjoyed morning coffee in Harbour House. 
19.30    The rain arrived as predicted, but it is forecast to clear away overnight:  tomorrow’s weather for our area is .... ‘sunny intervals with a fresh wind’:    could be a
 good drying day.   I don’t have anything ‘planned’ for tomorrow, but if it’s bonnie first thing I’ll go out on the bike early,.... go to Harbour House, then potter around
A few of the lochside houses.
Ivy for the remainder of the day.  Maybe even the weekend.

 I am really chuffed with the photographs I got of the loch over that past couple of days:  I had a browse through them (178) this afternoon.    They’ll give me something to ‘play’ with on a cold winter night.   When I think about I must have more than 500 ‘Kinneuchar loch photographs taken over the past few months.    Over the years?..... a lot.    Did I mention winter? ..... forget that;  it’s going to be warm, hot even, this weekend.    Sunny Sussex is going to be really warm.... a chance of 30c.

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
