Lovely autumnal morrrrrrrrrrrning ....


3rd October 2019 (Thursday)     08.00 .... we have another lovely
The Ferry beach on what is a really bonnie morning.
morning.....‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ being the forecast for our area.    I haven’t been out... well no further than the front gate .... as I started ‘playing’ with some photographs and forgot about sunrise time.   Nae clouds for the rising sun to light up so it wouldn’t be  a spectacular sunrise.
‘M’ will arrive home today .... in fact she may well be in New Zealand now.   We will all have to get used to her not being here......but at least we have Skype.
I’d better go and have breakfast then get organised for Leven.

 09.00    It's such a bonnie morning that I had to have a daunder to the beach..... and I had it all to myself.   On the way home Patricia reminded me that its 'Drop in Cafe' this afternoon.   The plan is to go.... unless I end up being diverted.

Kinneuchar this afternoon.

17.00     Yet again Sarah (hairdresser) has worked her magic and I feel much more comfortable,.... even optimistic.   It great what a haircut can do.    I then went to Stuarts to buy a goodie for Jim;  I bought three in case he was sitting with one of his ‘girlfriends’.   Sitting with his girlfriends? .... he was sound asleep in a comfortable chair.     One of the nurses said that it would be best to let him sleep as he’d been wandering about a lot during the night so I left him in peace.   He did look contented... even if he was sporting two black eyes after falling the other day.   I have two goodies to eat!

I did remember to go to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ this afternoon, the weather had completely changed from a lovely warm, wind free morning to a grey, cold  and breezy afternoon, meaning that I didn’t go out on the bike.   Had I done that I’d probably have been sidetracked and forgotten all about the ‘Drop in Cafe’.    It wasn’t overly busy but we managed to make a lot of noise;   well Lexie made a lot of noise!  


19.38    Now .... that was a good year!    It is bitterly cold out and rain is forecast overnight;  we might have wet start to Friday.    No biking tomorrow I’m thinkin’.   I
Ferry High Street (East end south side).
don’t need to go anywhere tomorrow.... other than for the paper and morning coffee bumble up to Elie in the car.   It’s strange how I ‘bumble’ in the car and ‘scuttle’ on the bike.   You’d think the car would be the faster of the two.   The Ivy hatches have been battened down and I am now ready to potter work on the computer for most of the evening.    If it is wet in the morning I shall make a cuppa and go back to bed for an hour or two.

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
