Bonnie sunrise ....

 

14th September 2020 (Monday)     08.00 .... we had a bonnie sky at sunrise


time... and it’s a bonnie day now.   The sky is overcast but it’s dry and warm (it’s going to be really warm tomorrow)... so a nice day for being out.    I haven’t been for the paper but I’ll do that later in the morning now;  the weather forecast isn’t bad so I might go somewhere.


18.30    I am a happy bunny tonight .... and a tired one.    I decided when I was having my ‘morning coffee’, that I’d go to Crail harbour (in the car).   It wasn’t the bonniest of mornings but it was improving all the time.... and it was dry and not too windy.    Crail harbour was busy with visitors and I ended up talking to a lady from Norfolk .... her first time in Scotland.   Crail harbour was a photographer’s dream (it always is) this morning so I ‘snapped’ my way round. ... and I wasn’t the only one. 

Crail.

I came home via the ‘back road’ .... and found it busier than it normally is.    

This is the furthest I have been with the car since mid-March and I enjoyed driving.   Crail Harbour Toilets are operational;  both are unisex with  a notice on the outside of the door to let you know if it is ‘in use’ or not.   Having enjoyed today’s car journey, I may go along to Kinghorn next week.

21.00    I’ve had an exciting day today but I am tired and will be glad to get into bed with my book.   Ian and Fiona (next door) are away home;  I’ll miss them.   I am one of those people that talks a lot (too much most of the time) and found the COVID-19 ‘rools’ hampered me when talking,.... especially when speaking to someone wearing a mask at the shops;  so I tended to ‘lie low’.  However I am beginning to relax;  for example a conversation at Crail this morning.   I use lip reading to help me converse;  I’m not that good at lip


reading but it’s like turning the volume up and I ‘hear’ better. 

No ‘plan’ for tomorrow but I will have Stage 16 of ‘le Tour’ in the afternoon:  the weather forecast is ‘slightly iffy’ for early tomorrow (for us) anyway... but I might get out later in the afternoon.     I have plenty ‘work’  want to do on the computer.

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
