58th Wedding Anniversary ....


9th September 2019 (Monday)     08.00 .... On this date 58 years ago
Elie High Street.
Maggie and I were married in the old Kinneuchar Manse, by the Rev Robin Mitchell;  so .... “Happy Anniversary Maggie” (alias ‘The Boss’) xxx.    Unfortunately the weather is not the same as it was on this day 58 years ago.   Then it was ‘bright, sunny and warm’;  today we have ‘heavy rain showers and not warm'.   I won’t be having coffee on the seat at Chapel Green this afternoon if it stays like this.


21.00    Wellll .... it has been a dull day but at least bit didn’t rain all day and I was able to go to the beach in the evening.    I was surprised to see some people on down there;  having said that, although it was overcast the rain had stopped.... and it was warm.

Late afternoon.
In the morning, after morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse, I went to Crail to pick up ‘M’.    We had a quick stop at Ivy then went to Leven to do a wee shopping in Sainsbury’s, and had a ‘lite bite’ lunch in the Cafe when there.   ‘M’s mobility is really bad just now, much worse than I expected it to be, so walking any distance is out, even with her stick.  I can manage a bit further (with stick and plenty short breaks) but I wouldn’t call it walking .... hirple would be a more  accurate description of my style of walking.   Anyway ‘M’ is now ensconced in Ivy for a few days (I don’t know how many) so I’ll take her out to ‘my places’:  the ‘Fudge Doughnut Factory’ being one of those.  

Tomorrow the ‘plan’ is to go up for morning coffee, then go out in the afternoon; 
The Ferry beach.
probably for a run that takes in the ‘factory’.    ‘M’ needs to have a short period of R an R because she has been busy with the ‘girls’.... visiting family etc.   Of course what we do all depends on the weather.    Tomorrow is supposed to be ‘light cloud with a light breeze’... plus the chance of sunny spells in the afternoon. 
 
There’s not much else to ‘report’ having had a lazy day really.   I must remember that I have a blood test appointment blood test on Thursday.   There are bits of paper with the time and date all over the place to remind me!

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
