Gorgeous morning ....


26th October 2019 (Saturday)     09.00 .... As soon as I met Marcia and
Lovely morning.
Kirsty with the dogs I just knew that we were going to have a bonnier day;   regardless of the weather.     However the weather is also much brighter than it was yesterday  so I have had a really good start to my day.;  and I was feeling  ‘down’ when I left Ivy;  now I feel frolicsome.   I’ll get the bike out after breakfast ... and watching the rugby.....it’s that kind of day now.   

13.30    I had a trip out on the bike up to Kinneuchar then home by way of Elie Estate;  it was enjoyable but cold on the lugs.   It’s a bonnie day but there is a chilly wind.... this would have been a better day to do the washing.   The bike is being charged up as I type;   I want a full battery for tomorrow in case the weather is amenable to my going for a longer run.... probably Balcarres.   I’m going to do a Soduko and have a cuppa in the Hutte... and most likely fall asleep.

Kinneuchar this afternoon - well a wee bit of the village.
16.00    I didn’t .... fall asleep that is, but I did do a Soduko .... and, I know this will be hard to believe, I also did a bit of gardening.  Only, in a sheltered corner, because I can tell you that the wind is cold .... as in cauld cauld!   That means the lilac tree is still ‘stood staunin’ half ‘prooned’ because it is not sheltered.   I have come to the conclusion that I need to spend more time in the garden;  but that would mean less time playing... er exercising.  It’s a balancing act;  I feel quite dizzy .... at the thought of ‘work’.

Watching the rugby wasn’t the uplift that I needed this morning;  I wanted New Zealand to win.  Oh well all my English friends will be ecstatic; meanwhile I’ll have to stop watching to the BBC TV News for the next couple of years.    Oops ... no it was a well earned win.... and should stop us having to suffer the perpetual analysis of what's going to 'appen next with Brexit.
20.00    My word I have had a successful day, both at work (on the computer) and
Sunset time.
play;  actually it has been a really bonnie day, though cauld in the wind.    I went to the beach at sunset time and was pleasantly surprised to see so many people out walking;  it was a bonnie evening and everyone looked well wrapped up:  I know that I was.... apart from one of my hands, the one that operates the buttons on the camera.  

The forecast is good for the next couple of days.... sunny and cold.    There’s snow up in the Cairngorms so I guess winter has arrived.   The Lomonds (our nearest hills) won’t get snow until much later in the season;  I hope.

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

 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
