Crackin' mornin'....


20th September 2019 (Friday)     08.30 .... it is a cracker of a morning; 
Early morning sky over Elie bay.
 the start of what is forecast to be a bonnie day.    I went to the beach to see the sunrise;  it was well worth the effort.    The beach was quiet, with only myself, a couple of dog walkers (Frances being one of them) and the local heron enjoying the scene.
The ‘plan’ is to do the bedding, bike up for morning coffee at Harbour House then see how the mood takes me:   I’m feeling frisky.  



21.00   I could get used to this weather;  in fact I think I may have got a touch of sunburn.     I’ve been out on the bike three times .... Elie twice, the estate and Chapel Green once.   In between times I got the bedding out on the line;  the sheets will have to go out again tomorrow as they aren’t totally dry.   I suppose I could iron them dry.  
Midday.
I’m missing ‘M’ so have to keep myself occupied.

Graham and Elizabeth came round in the afternoon delivering ‘Toll Green Hall Initiative’ forms;  it’s about finding out how much support there is re purchasing the hall for the community.    The Church of Scotland is in the process of ‘downsizing’ it’s buildings portfolio!   The necessity for this has been brought about by the congregations, in most churches, being too small to support the upkeep of a church.   The wee hall would be a good buy for the villages;  it isn’t huge and maintenance should be fairly easily done by the community.    Lesley and I taped and painted the TGH about 15 years or so ago.

Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day but there will be a cool easterly breeze.
Kinneuchar loch.
    I will hang out the sheets again then go out on the bike;  got to enjoy this weather when we have it.   I don’t have a ‘plan’.    Myra is going away on a Glenton holiday tomorrow so Geoff and will be leaderless for the next week.   It’s a good holiday company to use;  Myra gets picked up at the door at 05.00.   It’s fly/coach tour of Tuscany.

I’m going spend the remainder of the evening typing yesterday’s research notes.   First I must make myself a cuppa.

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
