Lovely morrrrrrrning .....


27th February 2020 (Thursday)   08.30 .... it’s another ‘bright, sunny
Elie Bay this morning.
and crisp’ morning for KY9;  definitely a morning for wrapping up and getting out.    Once the sun gets up a bit I might do a spot of tidying up in the garden.

I can’t get the hang of the new bucket collection system;  one time  both Brown and Blue buckets go out on the same day, then it’s back to only the Blue one, as it is this week, (according to ‘my bucket’ online calendar)... the Broon one goes out on March 13th.   Anyway as far as I see it’s the ‘Bloo’ one tomorrow!


13.00    This is hard to believe but I actually cleaned window (inside and outside) this morning;  when it was time to go for morning coffee I was reluctant to stop.   Aye that’ll be right.    Put another way;  since I came home I haven’t cleaned any more windows. 
 
Steve anti fouling Sundance .
Harbour House was busy with many secrets rattling around;  of course I have forgotten them all.   Spring must be ‘in the air’ because not only did I set about cleaning the windows (one - so far), when I got to the harbour Steve anti fouling the bottom of yacht 'Sundance' (“Crane In” is on the 7th April).    As Steve was saying you have to “take the chance of any good weather that’s going and so far there hasn’t been much of that”.

James arrived wondering if I could help with a small problem with telescope stand but I wasn’t much help I’m afraid.   Iain,, who was here at the weekend might have been able to suggest something.
After all the ‘work’ I’ve been doing so far today I think I deserve another cuppa;  and  a catnap.
Oh I was talking to Joyce (Leitch) in ‘arbour ‘ouse this morning and she was telling me that she and Dave, who were visiting their son Craig who lives and works in Wales
The Firth of Forth from Chapel Green - Earlsferry.
took the opportunity to visit Joyce (Watson) who used to be our neighbour across the road before the family (Watson) moved to ‘The Old Farmhouse’ at Wadeslea.   Joyce (Watson) now lives down ‘south’ beside her daughter(s).   

 19.38     Well that’s another lovely day we’ve had;   the folks that have been flooded out down south will be longing for a spell of this dry weather.   Even then it will be months before they get back into their houses. 
  

The morning is going to be the best part of tomorrow as far as the weather goes;  there’s an increasing chance of showers/rain after midday.   George and I are going to ‘The store’ in Anstruther to do a shopping after morning coffee.    Visiting Jim is ‘off’ just now;  Leven Care Home has ‘the winter bug’.

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
