Bonnie morning ....


3rd December 2019 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... I had the beach to myself this
Elie Bay.
bonnie morning;   there’s clouds about and it’s breezy (from the West) but not cold.... it’s not a ‘wall to wall’ bloo sky morning, but it’s braw.     I met two ‘lovely girls’ on the way home;  Pat and Dora going for the paper:  apart from us the village seemed sleepy, and content even.   Must ‘go’ ... slight flap on this morning I need to go to Leven.... again.   Forgot to go to the bank yesterday.


18.30    I have finally caught up with all the stuff I ought to have done yesterday;  and visited Jim after I was finished.   Jim was dozing at a table when I got there but after I shook the bag containing the goodies he quickly woke up.   I made us a cuppa, but there was only one tea bag so the tea was insipid to say the least.    I must remember to put a few tea bags in the car;  I don’t think the Care Home tea bags are very strong;  not as strong as ‘Yorkshire’ tea bags that’s for sure.

It looks like the car will have to remain dirty as the Leven car wash appears to be ‘out of action’;  at least it has been both times I have been there.   I’ll try later in the week.
The whole of my morning was spent in Leven so I took time out in the afternoon and went up to wander round Chapel Green round about sunset time.   I had the tripod etc in the car but it was too cold to set it all up so I ended up using the monopod.... and moving to the Toft for the actual sunset.

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
