Lovely crisp morning .....


14th April 2020 (Tuesday)    07.30 ....  It’s a lovely morning but there was a
Social distance chatting.
touch of frost at sunrise time....  however the air will soon warm up now that the sun is getting higher;  I’ll get out on the bike later.   The ‘Paper Shop’ was busy this morning but that was because I was later going out having put a washing in the machine.   Now I’m ready for breakfast.

15.30    I’ve been busy today.... having hung out a washing, stripped and made the bed and then washed and hung out the bedding.    Once I’d done all that I sat down in front of the tele to watch a film (on the ‘Oldies Channel’)  and promptly fell sound asleep.   In between all that I finally managed to place an online order with Tesco’s (a practice one to see if I could do it) which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon.   It will be like Christmas in Ivy
The beach this afternoon.
tomorrow afternoon because I’ve forgotten what is on the order ....I could look it up but won’t ‘cos I’m now looking forward to surprising myself.
The weather has been cloudier than expected but at least it is warmer:   I’m going out on the bike after a mid afternoon cuppa.


21.00    My word I am tired tonight and my knee is sair;   it doesn’t like me stripping the bed... I must twist it when doing that job.     I did find time to go to the beach then out on the bike;   I guess that didn’t help the knee either.    Anyway I enjoyed  a short potter on the beach then up to Elie Estate on the bike.   The air was cooler than I’d hoped but I was well wrapped up.   It’s good to meet folk  exercising and a friendly “hello” and wave is always cheering.

It’s Calum’s funeral on Thursday and the Elie Fayre Day Group has suggested a way
.... exercise time.
that we can show our support for Cath and Ian (Elie Paper Shop) on this day;  because we  can’t be with Ian and Cath for the funeral service (due to the current restrictions):   but we can “light a candle for Calum” on Thursday (any time) to show our support and love for such a lovely couple on what will be the saddest of days for them.   Photographs of lit candles can be posted on the Elie and Earlsferry Photos FB page.
Tomorrow’s weather forecast for KY9 is to be sunnier than today and slightly warmer:  I’ll take the bike for the papers and have a run round the villages first thing.

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
