Quiet morning ....

1st August 2020 (Saturday)     06.00 .... it’s a nice, quiet mornin but

Breadwinner II off Apple Rock.
there is the chance of a few early showers but after they’ve passed over we should have another  bonnie day;   and a busy one.

I’m sorry about how ‘The Hutte’ text is all mixed up when I add photos;   someone has decided that ‘Blogger’ had to be improved(?) and this is the result.    The IT folk are still working on it so it should improve.    The ‘old’ Blogger (that worked) is to be totally closed down on the 24th August.     I’m not sure what the reason is for  needing to update ‘Blogger’..... something to o with making it more acceptable to i phones I think.   Oh well I can report any problems:  it will be interesting to see what the outcome is.

 09.30    It’s an absolute cracker of a mornin’ .... a nice day ahead I’m thinkin’.     The face masks have me beat .... I hardly recognise anyone behind them at first;  it’s like being in a queue full of ‘strangers’.    That said the villages are busy, and we do have a

Chapel Green.
lot of ‘strangers’ about;   however ‘strangers’ are, mostly, friends we have yet to know.   Mind you it stresses me out a bit when I go out and pass people I should know but miss them because my brain is in ‘stranger’ mode.

Chapel Green has a ‘first’ this morning;  a car dumped on it after a bit of playing around.     I’m disappointed but not surprised.   That  sort of thing that can easily be stopped  by simply putting bigger boulders between the posts.

Orf to have a cuppa;  then I might go out  before the villages start to fill up.

18.30    I was feeling adventurous so went out on the bike at 17.30 when the streets had quietened down.    With this being a ‘change over’ weekend the new arrivals are settling

Earlsferry.
in  after driving from various parts of the UK.... I noticed a ‘GY’ registration when I was out;  the original registration being Brighton.    The beach will be busier tomorrow.... especially if the weather is good.

21.00     With it being a quiet evening I went for a walk up to the Pony Field and golf course;  it’s almost strange seeing the village so quiet!   I daresay it well liven up tomorrow;  the forecast isn’t bad.

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
