Pittenweem Memorial .... ..,..


29th September 2019 (Sunday)     07.00 .... the sky is overcast and
Fisher-folk Memorial at Pittenweem.
there’s a frisky breeze from the East, so I haven’t been to the beach yet;  I’m enjoying a nice cuppa at the moment..... "sunny spells and light rain showers" are forecast ... once the sun gets going.   Just now it’s still below the horizon behind the bank of cloud.


17.30     I have had another ‘rest day’, though I did go to Pittenweem in the morning, on a scouting mission, to see the Memorial to Fishermen lost at sea.   It is an absolutely beautiful tribute to the brave men, and now women, of the fishing industry;  and brings home the real price of the fish on your plate.   

I met Robert Melville and his wife out walking with their dogs:  Robert got photos on the day of the unveiling from a fantastic viewpoint;  to see his photographs visit the ‘East Neuks Beauty in Photos’ page on Facebook.

20.00    Hey it’s cauld tonight;  I mean outside, not in Ivy where I’ve had to turn the heating up to 20!   I’ve just seen the forecast on the tele and it’s going to be caulder this week;  not really surprising because it is autumn after all.   It’s the heavy duty warm jacket and scarf wearing time of year.    ‘M’ is going back to Otaki (NZ) just in time;  I am already missing her and she is still in St Monans.

I have done a wheen o’ work on the computer today, most of updating the Hutte pages.   Then I was planning my next visit to the Pittenweem Fishing Memorial;  I need everything to be just right.   Luckily Pittenweem is not far from the ‘Royal Burgh’ .... 4 miles or so ... so you will probably get a few more photos of the Memorial.

What’s my plan for tomorrow.   Well I don’t have one.  The weather is forecast to be cold and cloudy with the chance of light showers later.   That means I won’t need to get out of bed early.... but I will.   I can’t help myself, it’s just when I get ‘up’.   If it is dull and damp I’ll make a cuppa and go back to bed for an hour.... and ‘plan’ things.

‘Planning things’ is dreaming with your eyes open and wide awake.    Whether I go out on the bike depends on the weather.

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

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
