Lovely morrrrrrrning ....

 

6th December 2020 (Sunday)     07.30 ....although still dark it feels like

Sunrise time.

we’re going to have a bonnie day.... and the forecast is good.   There’s a light breeze from the North;   not strong enough to totally dry a washing, with daylight being short, but it should give it a good airing.    It’s too dark to hang the washing out just yet, but there are light patches beginning to show in the Eastern sky:  a promising start to the day.    It’s not that cold.... but I wouldn’t say it was warm.   I need another cuppa.

10.00    It is a lovely day and I have been for the paper;  and checked out the harbour.    I didn’t have it all to  myself this morrrrrrrrrrrning with two folk going in for a swim and a photographer waiting for the sun to come up.   Busy place.   I took my ‘sunrise time’ photographs then bumbled along to Chapel Green, where I caught the sun appearing above the clouds, twenty five minutes after ‘sunrise time’.

The ‘plan’ is to take advantage of the nice morning and go out on the bike.... after another cuppa.   I’ll take money with;  I think  ‘arbour ‘ouse is open on a Sunday.

Main Street - Kinneuchar.

15.00   I had a most enjoyable run out on the bike;   up to and through Kinneuchar, then home by way of Balbuthie Loan and Elie.    It has been a beautiful day for being ‘out’, though 'nae guid' as far as drying the washing went (it’s now dangling on horses in front of radiators). 

I’ve had a busy day actually having done a few little jobs around Ivy.... and pumped up the tyres on the bike.    That’s tricky job with wee wheels ‘cos the pump connection is too long... however it can be done.   I’ll have a browse on the web and find out what kind of pumps are available;  there may be one specifically for wee wheels.

19.00    It has been a cracker of a day and I have taken advantage of it:  I haven’t written

Sunset time on the beach.

a single Christmas card today ...but I might if I find something to watch on the tele in the evening.   What I have done is enjoyed the sunshine .... and taken a lot of photographs.     Alas tomorrow is going to be cloudier, with the chance of light showers.

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
