It's a bonnie morrrrrrrning .....

15th January 2021 (Friday)     10.00.... All is good at The Centre of the

08.35.

Universe:  the sun appeared bang on schedule, on what is a bonnie, but chilly morning.... then promptly disappeared again.   It’s fairly overcast just now but I can see the odd ‘nearly blue’ patch, so we might get a few sunny spells later.    I have yet to go for the paper, but I have been to the beach :  it was quite though I could see dog prints, so I wasn’t the first on the beach.   This is going to be a rest day for me;  I’m in a ‘work on the computer’ mood after the excitement last night:  first I will make my morrrrrrrrrrrrning mug o’ coffee, then go for the paper.

21.00    I’ve had a good day;   mostly on the computer because it has been raw cold all day, with the sun only ‘nearly breaking through’, for a short spell, when I was out, late in the afternoon.   Even then I only went as far as the beach;  no, that’s wrong;   I didn’t actually reach the beach.... I stayed up on the bents.

This afternoon.

I did a bit more research and writing:   I enjoy both because it takes me well away from the problems we face today.   Today?.....it looks like we might be facing the ‘problems’ for a while yet; there’s a serious lack of the Eyam spirit around today.... especially in the Southeast.   The UK leadership has been pathetic:   today we see another new ‘rool’.... the closing of all the travel corridors to take effect .... on Monday.   This is typical of how it has been done all along ... “wait until all the horses have bolted... then close the door”!

I have a Tesco delivery coming on Sunday after which I should be in a position to withstand a siege:   well.... until I get the first jab anyway.   We appear to still be in our


East Neuk bubble which gives me a feeling of ‘normality’.... albeit at two metres range.    Most of the time I try to keep myself as active as I can be, both physically and mentally.   Lack of normal conversation is probably the hardest thing for me to contend with:  That is surprising because it’s not as if I talk a lot!

Tomorrow?   All days are pretty much the same just now:  luckily we live in a bonnie corner of Mother Earth, with loads of photo opportunities even on dull days.    Wet days aren’t so good.   I’m off to do some more research.

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
