Peaceful morning .....

 

4th November 2020 (Wednesday)      08.30 .... It’s a bonnie, quiet, morning;


   I wouldn’t say it was the best of drying days, but the downy cover is on the line, soon to be followed by one of the sheets.   We did have a ‘red sky in the morning’ sunrise, which I saw when hanging out the downy;  and, although gone by the time I was on the beach, it was still bonnie, peaceful.... and still colourful.

 18.30     My word .... it has been a quick day.... and yet I haven’t done that much.   I had to take a quick trip to the ‘Cheap Shop’ in Leven for a few things (non bio Persil being one vital necessity)  something out of B n Q’s.     Anyway I got all that I wanted and was back in Ivy putting up another washing line, by 09.45.    The washing has all been done but the sheets will have to go out5 again tomorrow;  today wasn’t the best drying day though a breeze did get up  in the afternoon.

The harbour -from School Wynd.
I went out on the bike in the afternoon;  I’d been watching the American Elections and couldn’t believe it.   They call that ‘democracy’?    You have to be kiddin’.   Anyway I was fed up of that so I circumnavigated the villages, met, and chatted to Alan then went up to Chapel Green to have a ‘break’ with ‘The Boss’.    Actually it has been a good day for conversation, having spoken to Suzanne, Maureen, Alan ... and the girls in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   And I ended up talking to a bus driver who arrived at the Bus Stop in Elie where I was drinking my coffee..... the coffee that I’d ‘bought’ at ‘arbour ‘ouse ... well I would have bought it if I had money with me, but I didn’t.   The girls took pity on me and said it was ‘on the ‘ouse’. Xx

20.30    I’d like to get up to Balcarres Estate in the next couple of days;  (the weather


looks good for Friday).... I haven’t biked around the Balcarres for a few weeks. Having said all that, I have to stay around Ivy for another two deliveries, so it all depends on when they are done.  I’ll be happy having a ‘rest day’ tomorrow... having a lot to do in the garden.

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
