Bonnier morning ....


2nd November 2019 (Saturday)    09.00 ....  There has been a lot of rain
Bonnie sky over Elie Bay.
overnight but that has moved away and we have a nice, if slightly damp, morning:   dry with hardly a breath of wind and, best of all, sunny spells.    I have been to the beach and round ‘The Ferry’ on the bike,;  now I am well ready for breakfast.

14.00    I’ve been a busy ‘boy’ today.... though nothing very physical.    When I finished breakfast I decided to visit Jim and when in Leven do a wee shopping.    I didn’t really need much from the shop but I thought might as well go to the shop.    I bought more ingredients to make Melting Moments.... having eaten the Cornflakes I bought to make Melting Moments when ‘M’ was here.

Misty morning.
Jim was quiet today but brightened up when I showed him the goodies I brought with me.   I made us a mug of coffee to go with the Danish Pastries and we chatted about thing ‘Royal’... i.e. Earlsferry.  Grace arrived about 10 minutes after we’d scoffed the pastries.
It looks like we had the best of the weather first thing this morning;   the sky has clouded over and its beginning to rain.    I’ll have another cuppa and then have ‘50’.... my eyelids are beginning to feel heavy.
19.00    The early part of the day was the best part as far as weather went.... we’ve had more rain in the afternoon.   It is dry now and I’m wondering if tonight will be the Guy Fawkes fireworks celebrations.   Celebrate someone that failed in his mission? .... seems kinda pointless but I guess it’s embedded into the annual system of events by
 Elie beach this morning.
now.   If there is a display tonight I should hear it;   the wind is from the right direction.
I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow;  it all depends on the weather and how I’m feeling.   The forecast is for the weather to be much the same as it has been today;  in which case I’ll probably go somewhere in the car.   At the moment I’m having a cuppa with a couple of slices of Selkirk Bannock:   Yes Donald’s been .... and photographs have been taken of aforesaid ‘Bannock’.   Thanks Donald .... I must have been having ‘50’ when you were at the door.

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
