Highly excited ....

 

23rd November 2020 (Monday)      10.00 .... We had a cracker of a sunrise


sky this morning;  probably means something wet later on, but my word it was bonnie. ... and well worth a spot o’ wetness (should it happen).   I went out for the paper, but got excited and have still to go for the paper;  I went straight to the harbour.   I’m excited yet.... need another cuppa.

It’s a lovely morning, albeit breezy and cauld on the ‘stickin’ oot bits’ on your heid ... er....  appendages... i.e. lugs.   I’m going to have that other cuppa (3rd ... or is it 4th?) then I’ll do some ‘work’.   Must go;   in ‘excited flap on state’.    Enjoy your day.

18.30    I went out on the bike today.... only up to Chapel Green because the bike battery was low.   It’s now fully charged ready for a decent trip out.... probably Wednesday or Thursday;  or both.

Someone else waiting for the sun to rise.

I spent some time sorting out this morning photos..... then went to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car.   I thought of going up to Balcarres but, remembering it was a working day, decided not to go into the estate, and came home to make and have lunch. 

Having been going, nonstop, since 06.30 I had a long catnap after lunch, then sorted out the photos I’d taken at Chapel Green ( I taker a lot of photographs on a day like today).   Now I’m feel ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’..... and in the mood to tackle the top shelf of Maggie’s china cabinet. 

20.30    Mmmmm .... it looks like we will be waking up to dampness tomorrow;   we have light rain just now, which forecast to become heavier overnight.   Oh welll.... I have a rough  idea as to what my day will be;   computer stuff and bookshelves/china cabinet.    Do I need to do any shopping I’m wondering?     Rainy days are good for retail therapy.

I see that the ‘rools’ are going to be relaxed for Christmas re families being together... in


extended bubble(s).    It won’t make any difference to me;   I’ll be spending Christmas on Skype.... and, would you believe it,  I’m actually looking forward to the challenge of making my own Christmas lunch.... and cake..... a Victoria Sponge!

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
