What .... nae wind? ...


12th Dec 2019 (Thursday)     08.00 .... At last ... a morning with only a light
Quilt that raised over £400  for a church charity when raffled.
breeze,  though it is cloudy as far as I can see ‘cos it’s still dark;  I’ll have a daunder to the beach after breakfast to see what’s ‘appening there.   The ‘Master Plan’ is to go to Leven (again) to get my haircut, then visit Jim:  I’m not sure as to the whether I should have morning coffee before I go to Leven, or in the afternoon when ‘Harbour House' is hosting the ‘Drop in Cafe’ due to the hall being used for voting.    I guess the best idea would be to go to ‘arbour ‘ouse morning and afternoon.

16.30    My word I have had a hectic day but it has been enjoyably hectic!    I went to Leven and had my haircut, my eyebrows trimmed;   and had a cuppa in Stuart’s.    I didn’t visit Jim because I knew that today was going to be busy but will visit him either tomorrow or Saturday, but was back in Elie in time to have a quick coffee with ‘The Troops’ in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   The for some reason I got myself all a fluster when I got
Elie harbour this afternoon.
back to Ivy;  however I sorted myself out and put things to be done ‘in order’, then got the bike out and went for a quick trip ‘roond the Ferry’;   with the wind having backed to the South easterly it was raw on the lugs.
Most of my afternoon was taken up with the Drop in Cafe (held in Harbour House today) where I was able to deliver a fair number of my local Christmas cards.   The ‘locals’ that have still to be done will be done tomorrow by car as it’s going to be damp.   I have a few postal ones to send yet and they will be done tomorrow too!


19.00    This has been a busy day for ‘the boy’ and it will be a tired ‘boy’ that crawls

into his ‘burrow’ tonight.   I have caught up with all the things I wanted to do today so tomorrow should be less hectic.   I don’t have any ‘plan’ for tomorrow .... other than poodle around delivering cards and having ‘morrrrning coffee’ in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   The forecast isn’t that great for tomorrow morning but it should be brighter in the afternoon.

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
