Myra and Jim Diamond Wedding Anniversary .... ...


5th September 2019 (Thursday)    08.00 ....  we have ‘sunny spells’ and
Jim and Myra - 60 years wed.
a brisk wind’;    with a chilly air from the Northwest.    An excellent drying day:   which is handy, I have a washing going through the machine.

My bedtime reading just now is a book called ‘No Time for Goodbye’, (Linwood Barclay), and it’s one of the most intriguing mysteries I’ve ever read.   I woke up at 02.00 and started thing about where the story was;  and had to pick up the book and read for about an hour.   And it has been like that all the way through.

Hey the clouds coming in from the northwest are heavier looking than I thought they’d be;  this is not good!

20.00    Myra and Jim’s Diamond Wedding Celebration Party was spectacular.  Leven Beach Care Home pulls out all the stops when it comes to family celebrations.... but today’s was exceptional.   The ‘Quiet Lounge’ was decorated, tables set beautifully;  everything ‘just so’:  and there was a wide choice of food, and loads of it.    Everyone enjoyed the occasion... especially Jim and Myra:  it was good to see them enjoying their Especial Day together.   I must mention the fact that Myra had to sign for one of the cards that the ‘postie’ delivered today;   it was from HM The Queen.    We are all looking forward to Jim and Myra’s Platinum Anniversary!    I managed to take a few photographs of the ‘Day’... some of which look the way I hoped they’d look..... ‘romantic’.   I’ll sort some out and print them off, and give the whole bunch to Myra on a ‘stick’.

Now we return to the mundane stuff.    The weather was excellent in the afternoon, and

my washing was well dry when I got back to Ivy.   I’m beginning to feel tired now, but then I haven’t had ‘50’ today at all.   Anyway I’m coming to the crunch part of the ‘bedtime book’  so it will be a very early night in bed tonight.    I doubt if I’ll finish it before I fall asleep, but I will try.

Tomorrow?    Hmmmm ... anything I do tomorrow will be ‘dull’ after the excitement and pleasures of today, but I’ll make the best of it.   I can look forward to picking up a paper, and having morning coffee in Harbour House.   That’s always good.   The weather is forecast to be slightly sunnier tomorrow.... after a short spell of light, overnight/early morning rain.   That won’t bother us.

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
