Bonnie morning ....


17th November 2019 (Sunday)     08.00 .... At the moment we have a
It is a nice morning for a walk on the beach.
clear sky and the forecast is for ‘light cloud with light winds’ so it looks like we could have a bonnie day albeit a cool one.    It’s not quite frosty just now but isn’t far from being so: actually, I might get the bike out later once the sun gets higher .... and warmer.


10.00    We have a sunny spell;  at one point it looked like the cloudbank was moving faster than the sun was rising but the sun eventually made it, and it looks like we could have a nice day.    There was a touch of frost at sunrise time but only -1c so that will soon shift now.    It was braw seeing the beach busy with dogs hauling their owners out for a bit of exercise... it’s a braw morning for a daunder along the beach.    Everything appears to be where it should be .... the auld place is peaceful and looking good.

St Monans Auld Kirk.

13.30    I thought I’d better give the car a run so I went to St Monans kirk and had a walk round.... then came home via Abercrombie and Colinsburgh.   I didn’t meet anyone I knew at St Minnins but the Coastal Path seemed busy:   it is a good day for walking.    I’m feeling lazy today but I have done a wee bit on the computer.   At least I’ve had some exercise today, but I won’t take the bike out;  today is forecast to be a sunny but cold day.   I like sunny.    Today there’s thin layer of high cloud filtering the sunlight and spoiling what could have been a really gorgeous day.
16.30    The villages appear to be busy for this time of year;  the two holiday letting offices in Elie must be having some success.  I hope that we don’t end up with ‘party houses’;   our wee villages would quickly lose their quiet backwater appeal with a
'Burnside'  - St Monans.




couple of those.  

It has been a beautiful afternoon/evening though it feels like we could be in for a frosty start to tomorrow.    I can cope with that;  the car windscreen is facing south!    I’m hoping to take a trip out on the bike tomorrow assuming it isn’t too cold for my delicate lugs.

19.30    Well I wouldn’t say that I‘ve had the most productive day but I am well content at the end of it;  not tired but content.   I’m wondering if I should do a wee washing tomorrow?   There’s not going to be much of a breeze, and it’s going to be cold so I guess it would just hang;  no ... I’ll leave the washing until Tuesday.

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
