24c ....


28th May 2020 (Thursday)     06.30 .... I’ve been up to Chapel Green (on
Elie harbour beach .... from the Ship Inn outside seating area.
the bike) hoping to find the cliffs reflected on mirror like water but there’s just enough of a breeze to ruffle the surface .... so nae reflections.    However we do have a bonnie start to the day even though the sky is mostly cloudy at this time (nearly always is) .... but the sun will sort that out in a couple of hours.   I’ve stopped at Ivy for a cuppa before going up to Elie.


14.00    This is awfie;  it’s 24c in the garden (shade temperature) .... far too hot to do any work!    Not that I intended working .... but if I had I’d have had to force myself to stop.   The Hutte afternoon coffee morning has been rescheduled to take place inside the lovely coolness that is Ivy Cottage very shortly .... in fact I am going spread the last two scones immediately after this update. 
This morning's trip to Elie for the paper was most enjoyable.... as was the trip to the harbour then home by way of Elie Estate.    I don’t think I’ll go out on the bike again
Hamish.
today.    The battery has been charged so that, if I feel like it, I can go further tomorrow.   Must ‘go’ got an afternoon  coffee morning to organise.

23.00     Earlsferry community came out to support ‘Clap for Carers’ tonight with pipers Hamish and Felix playing from Earlsferry all the way along to Marine Park, Elie.   Thank you once again Hamish and Felix.    It is absolutely amazing just how ‘Clap for Carers’ has brought Earlsferry to life.,,, the village has become a community:  I’m loving it.  The lassie that come up with the idea (a Dutch lass living in London) thinks this should be the last one but is open minded about it continuing if that’s what people want.   If ‘Clap for Carers’ has done for other places what it has done for Earlsferry then the ‘side effect’ has been one huge success.   I only hope the ‘Carers’ feel the support coming from a grateful Nation:  and that the politicians do the right thing by them.   A good start would be kicking Dominic Cummings ‘into touch’.... 'cos he didn't do them any favours.
Felix.


With the weather being so hot I have had a restful day;  and I still have one scone for a coffee morning tomorrow;  which is going to be another warm day so it’s unlikely that there will be much work done around Ivy.   I do have a fully charged battery on the bike. so I might go for a trip out in the morning .... before the temperature gets to high.

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
