Leven ...

29th November 2020 (Sunday)      08.00 .... The sky is overcast this morning

Elie Bay this afternoon.

and there is no frost;   and there I was, hoping for another day like we had yesterday.     It’s going to be a nice enough day, according to the forecast, but with more cloud about.... and only a light wind.    It’s supposed to be cold , though it didn’t feel cold when I was out just now.    I need to have another cuppa... and breakfast  .... before doing anything else.    Slight ‘flap on’ now .... I’m hungry.

17.00     I had a walk to the beach in the middle of the afternoon expecting it to be quiet, with not much to photograph on a grey day;  I was pleasantly surprised to find folks walking their dogs, and two sailing dinghy’s and a canoe on the water.   There’s always something going on at....  “The Centre of the Universe”.


In the morning I went to Leven, to deliver the Christmas cards for Lesley to post.   On the way along I decided to skip the shopping bit;  the shops would be busy on a Sunday... so ... t he shopping will be done on Tuesday or Wednesday.    Not that I need much in the way of food.... I had a Tesco delivery this afternoon, and I plan to go to Ardross one day this week.   This writing about ‘food’ has made me feel peckish;  I’m orf to find.... something light to eat.    I had a big lunch.

19.00     This hasn’t been what we’d call a ‘bonnie day’ as far as the weather went but it has been a productive one for me.   I’ve done everything that I wanted doing.... including printing off my Christmas cards.    I wonder if the Rotary will be delivering cards this


Christmas?..... I’ll find out at the shop tomorrow.    If they aren’t I’ll need more postage stamps.   

There’s ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow.... what I do depends on the weather and the forecast for tomorrow is good (better than today’s):   “sunny intervals and a moderate breeze”.... so I might get out on the bike.   Right now I need to find something to watch on the tele.... and a cuppa.

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
