Bonnie sunries ....

17th January 2021 (Sunday)     18.30.... I didn’t realise that I hadn’t put up


today’s Hutte ‘news’;  not that there is very much happening, that’s different nowadays.... but there’s always the weather...!   Actually I have been busy today.    I did go to the beach to catch the sunrise, but, so that I wouldn’t miss Tesco I decided that I’d start to come home at sunrise (08.32), which meant I’d be back in Ivy in plenty of time.     That plan worked perfectly;  I was back home in by 09.10 and the Tesco delivery man arrived at 10.01.   By the time the messages were in their various cupboards etc. and I’d browsed the photos I got this morning it was nearly lunch time.   That reminds me I have still to watch today’s kirk service.... I was too busy to catch it at 11.00.

After lunch I decided to take the car for a run to warm it up.   I had the camera with me but didn’t bother to stop as I’d decided that I’d go for a walk, to the ‘Pony Field’, when I got home,   That ‘plan’ would become operational after a cuppa.


There was a chilly wind blowin’ by the time I got to the Pony Field and the sky was clouding over so I didn’t hang about.    There was a golfer coming down the second so I hung back, thinking it was a visitor:  with hindsight I think it was actually John (Bowers).  I was glad to get back into Ivy.

I’m going to have a hot chocolate and watch today’s kirk service;  I missed it at 11.00 ‘cos I was in ‘major flap on’ mode at that time.   Tesco etc.

22.30     Joyful me ... I’ve had a hectic (by my standards) day;  however it has been enjoyable.   The worst thing about ‘lockdown’ is subconscious stress brought on by Coronavirus being constantly in our minds.    When I can get out with the camera, I almost forget all about the crisis, but even then I have to remember the two metre rule;   even when I’m doing research on the computer, or when I’m doing something interesting,

John on the third.

the rules are in the back of your mind all the time.   At least, with the vaccine programme speeding up, there is light at the end of the tunnel.   and Spring isn’t far away:  having said that, snow was mentioned in the weather forecast ... for the end of this week.   

It’s forecast to be a decent day tomorrow;  I might get the bike out if it isn’t too windy and cold.

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
