Cool breeze ....

    
6th April 2020 (Monday)      07.30 ....  well it isn’t raining but the clouds are
Breezy morning.
gathering in the West and lumbering our way  so it looks like the light rain, that was forecast for early this morning, might yet arrive;  however all is not lost .... there are big patches of ‘bloo’ in the sky too and   It is 11c in Ivy garden;  that said, the wind has freshened in the last hour so it will feel cold on the beach.    The main news this morning? ..... I sneezed about two minutes ago;  it will be a toddie for my bedtime drink tonight.   Oh ... the ‘Royal Burgh’ has worldwide ‘fame’ thanks to the Chief Medical Officer having her holiday second home in the village and being silly enough to visit it while the UK it under ”stay at home” rools’.    Dr Calderwood has resigned as Chief Medical Officer of Scotland;  now the holiday home owning fraternity of the UK will be rubbing their hands thinking that there will be a holiday home coming on the market soon in Earlsferry.   Even under the Coronavirus pandemic ‘life goes on’.

Sea Tangle road.
09.00    We have ‘bright and breezy’ day now and it is cold in the wind (F5) so the bike won’t be coming out though I will go for a walk later.    It’s a good drying day so I’m going collect enough stuff to do a wee washing... then potter around between the garden and The Hutte.
21.00    It was too windy for me to go biking so I went for a walk on the golf course.... across to West Bay then home by Chapel Green and the beach.  It was a nice day for a walk but I did get caught by the edge of a shower on the beach.   I met Elaine out with her dog, then Margaret and David (Bowers) out for their exercise.   Everybody seems to be exercising though most of the people I meet are strangers;  which is frustrating because you can’t strike up a conversation with someone you don’t know at three metres range.    It’s been a bonnie enough day but
Kincraig Cliffs.
colder than I expected it to be.    Tomorrow we our area is forecast to get up to 13c.... in ‘Sunny Sussex’ they will be sweltering in 23c.
I didn’t do very much work stuff today;  my day just flies past doing wee bits around Ivy Cottage, going out to take a few photographs;  and ‘playing’ with said photographs.   At the end of every day I am totally shattered so I’m doing something to get me tired.     I do have a long day right enough,  though I usually manage to have ‘50’ at some time of the day.... usually in The Hutte.    I haven’t sneezed again today;  but I’m going to have a toddie just in case.

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
