Feeling fresh and frolicsome ....

27th November 2020 (Friday)     07.30 .... There’s a lovely ‘feel’ to the air ....


not quite frosty but a sharpness that I like;   my favourite kind of autumnal morning.    This is going to be a rest day for me so I am going to ‘The Store’ first thing.... I need some supplies.    Hopefully I’ll get out on the bike later.... or perhaps somewhere ‘different’ in the car.    Enjoy your day.... it looks like being a bonnie one albeit slightly overcast most of the time.,... if the weather forecast is correct.

11.00     ‘The Store’ was quiet this morning....  and enjoyed a wee browse round the aisles.    I got everything on the list (and fell in love with the lassie at the checkout).... so all in all a good morning at ‘the Store’.    The messages have been put away;  now I am ready for the rest of the day.  


I checked the Fife website and found that we still have to book a place at the re-cycling place at Pittenweem, that means the last three bits of the old gas fire will have to lie in a corner of the garden.... or I could try to cut them down to fit into the ‘bloo’ bucket.   I do have a good hacksaw:  that said, I’m not going to be doing that today;  this is my ‘rest day’.   

23.30    I may have had a lazy day physically but I’ve done a load o’ stuff on the computer.     I also had  a trip to the bottle bank at Woodhaven .... and met Christine and Ronnie there, about to walk their dog out to the Lady’s Tower.      When I think about it I haven’t looked at the photographs I took out there..... I’ll do that after this update.

If the weather forecasters have got it right (and they usually do) tomorrow is going to be


a bonnie day .... but a cold one.   Luckily it’s not going to be windy so no wind-chill.    I may go out on the bike .... if it isn’t too cold.    The ‘work plan’ is to do some work in the garden.... and have a look at the practicality of cutting down the bits of gas fire so that I can dump them, via the ‘bloo’ bucket.

I may not have done anything physical today but I am tired and well ready for bed.   Working on the computer tires out the brain (brain?) quicker than physical work.   Tomorrow may be another ‘rest day’.

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
