Frisky .Boy' ....

2nd August 2020 (Sunday)     06.30 ..... The roads are damp so we’ve

North Berwick Law.
had a shower o’ rain and it looks like we could have another one soon, however they should faze out once the sun gets going.    I’ll go for the paper once I’ve had a cuppa.... and checked the Weather Cams.

10.00    The sky has cleared and we have a lovely fresh day now.    I went to Elie for the paper then browsed my way round the villages on the way home;   now I’m ready to work.    Work? .... no no no .... this is a ‘play day’;  once the bike battery is charged up.    I will do one thing in the garden when the battery is charging;  cut back the Clematis:  It’s thinking of taking over Earlsferry!   It grows faster than the weeds.   Probably is a weed where it comes from.

16.30     Oh my word .... we have one tired boy in Ivy.   As I threatened to do, I actually did a bit of pruning to the Clematis.... but .... got ever so slightly fed up of that job,  and decided to begin tidying up the Hutte.    You’ll notice I said ‘begin’ tidying the Hutte;   this is going to be an ongoing job for the next few days.    The seating arrangements in the Hutte are comfortable unlike outside at the Clematis.   I’ve also worked out how to take Macro photos with the new camera;    I was looking for complications where there are none.   No wonder I am tired .... I’ve had a busy day.

It has been a bonnie day though at times it looked like we could catch a shower.   The bike battery is fully charged so I may go further afield tomorrow .... weather permitting.

Sixth fairway.
21.00     Another bonnie day is coming to a close....and I have enjoyed it.    Doing a wee bit of ‘work’ is satisfying, but I’d much rather ‘play’.   I thought about taking a flask of coffee up to Chapel Green in the afternoon but that’s when I got diverted and decided to tidy up the Hutte.    I have missed talking to folk today....I’ll remedy that tomorrow.

Myra brought a book down .... and a box of After Eights .... so I’ll start that tonight:  reading the book, not scoffing the After Eights.    I do fancy a couple but I’m ending the day with a migraine, so it’s a couple of pills for that instead of  sweeties.

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
