Lovely morning ....


29th November 2019 (Friday)     08.00 .... we have a bonnie, quiet,
Bonnie morning.
bright and soon to be sunny morning, not quite frosty but not but not far above it in Ivy garden;   I think I could get the bike out after the sun gets going.


09.00    There was a touch of frost in the air when I was coming up from the beach, but it is a lovely morning;  a braw morning for a walk on the beach.... for a walk anywhere in fact.   I will get the bike out later and have a scuttle round the villages.    It’s time for breakfast now.


12.59    I’ve been out on the bike;  just a quick circumnavigate of Earlsferry to see that everything is where it should be.    It is.    I drove into Elie via Park Place this morrrrrrning and was pleased to give way to traffic (Myra) coming up from ‘The Royal Burgh’ because of this new roundabout.    This is how it should be.    That was when I went up for the paper and morning coffee.  

Kincraig Cliffs - Earlsferry.

19.00    I’ve had an enjoyable day.... but I am looking forward to an early night in bed;   early means about 22.00.     I had the urge to go out on the bike again in the afternoon but thought better of it, because it was colder by then.   I went up to Balcarres in the car and had a stroll around the woodland walk at the bottom of the crag.      The frost had never lifted in the shade of the trees so I didn’t hang about.... having decided that it would be warmer at Elie Harbour.   It was but not much.    We had a bonnie sunset again tonight.... so we will have another bonnie albeit cauld day tomorrow.

Yesterday I got a letter from Wendy Chamberlain (the Lib Dem candidate)... and I
Chapel Green - Earlsferry.
immediately thought “I’m in love”  .... jings my vote must be important.    This morning I found out that all the postal voters in East Neuk had  been ‘lettered’ so I dinnae feel ‘important’ many more.    Anyway I’ve voted so I’m waiting for the result.
Nae plan for tomorrow though if I’m feeling  fine and not coughing too much I might visit ‘Jimbo’.   Leven will be busy tomorrow with it being Saturday so I’d best get along there early, do any shopping etc then visit Jim.

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
