My word what a start to the day ....

 

6th November 2020 (Friday)      08.30 .... It’s an absolute cracker of a


morning;   ‘we’ (as in Royal Burgh ‘we’) have to go out to play today..... I only hope the deliveries are done early!    I remembered to buy a paper this morning.... and the harbour is where it should be:  all is good at the Centre of the Universe. 





16.30    Well .... one of the deliveries has been done but the fire has yet to arrive;  so I didn’t go out on the bike.... just in case I missed the van.   The sky has clouded over in the last hour so I’ll just stay in and hope for a late afternoon delivery.   The ‘plan’ is to go out tomorrow morning;   I don’t really expect the fire until Monday now.

I have done a bit of work, while keeping an eye on the ‘News’, hoping for a change of President in the USA.   I wonder what percentage of the planet’s population want to see the back of Mr Trump?   I guess he (President Trump) will go down in history as the worst ever President of the USA.... to date;  assuming he is voted ‘out’.    The way American ‘democracy’ works is something else.



20.30    Tomorrow looks like being another nice day ..... after some early fog.   I should get out mid morning for the paper, the villages will be quiet;  they always are in November.    England is in lockdown until 3rd December, after which I assume they will open up for Christmas and New Year;  I don’t like to think what that will do for the ‘R’ number come February.  

I hope to get out for a decent turn on the bike tomorrow after lunch.... but that depends on how I get on with some stuff I want to do in the garden, and I don’t mind pottering around Ivy;  though there’s not that many folk to have a conversation with in the garden;  other than ‘Blob’.... and that conversation is one sided!    It’s like talking to myself!

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
