Frisky boy ....


14th October 2019 (Monday)     09.30 ....  we have a cracker of a start to
Sunrise time!
the day;   there’s only a light breeze with sunny spells.   It’s a morning for doing things and I am feeling fresh and frisky. (I can’t actually do frisky but I like the feeling!)   The beach was lovely, and, as far as I could see, Carol and I had it to ourselves.   There was never going to be a spectacular sunrise, a bank of low cloud would prevent that, but the sky had me in a state of excitement nonetheless.   I am easily excited.   I’d better go and put the kettle ‘on’:  I’m hungry?    Oops .... forgot to have breakfast.   Slight ‘flap on’ now.


19.00    It has been a glorious day and I have enjoyed it.    Had ‘morning coffee’ in ‘arbour ‘ouse with ‘The Troops’, and bought the paper.   We saw a crane being driven past when having our coffee and sussed out that it was going to the harbour to ‘crane out’ the boats.   It had been too windy at the weekend.  

Balcarres Crag from Kinneuchar.
I went home and had a bit of lunch then got the bike out;  it was a really good day for biking.... sunny and warm with hardly a breath of wind.   Having said all that I only did ‘The Grand Tour’ plus a wee bit, ....  to Kinneuchar village.   On the way through the estate I saw wheel tracks that looked like they might have been made by ‘Bronto’ the rhododendron eating ‘monster’.   However the tracks disappeared up towards the farm so I’m not sure if it was.   There’s certainly plenty ‘food’ for it.   There must have been a lot of rain last night because the road through the estate was really wet and muddy.   The wheels of the bike were cleaned by biking through one of the puddles I came across on the main road.

There’s been a fair amount of ‘work’ done today and I can say that I am tired, having
Kinneuchar Mill farmhouse.
enjoyed a good mixture of activities.    It will be a really early night in bed tonight.    The book I’m reading is a strange one... but I found out last night that it’s the last one of a trilogy;  I’d be better to stop reading it and try to find the first two.   In the meantime I’ll read on and see if I can make sense of it.
There’s a lot of ‘plans’ in my head needing to be implemented;  it will depend on the mood I’m in tomorrow as to which one I will follow.   At some point I must visit ‘Jimbo’... either tomorrow or Wednesday.

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
