Quiet ....

6th January 2021 (Wednesday)      08.00 ....My ailments are all where they


should be and I’m feeling lively this mornin’:  and .... having been out to give Blob his breakfast, I can see that it’s a quiet and peaceful morning.... the beginning of a pleasant day.    I’m actually thinking of having morning coffee at Chapel Green;  the forecast is good.... but it is going to be cold.  

  21.00      My surgery appointment went perfectly;  and my BP will come down a bit now that the appointment is past.   Plus  .... I have ‘lost’ 3 kilograms.     I am a happy bunny tonight.    After the appointment I went to the harbour, before morning coffee ... at Ivy Cottage.... it was just too cold to have coffee with ‘The Boss’ at Chapel Green.  


I thought about getting the bike out in the afternoon but the frost had never lifted in the shade; treacherous conditions for a bike.   The car was a safer option so I went up to Elie and took a few photos of the kirk in late afternoon sun light.... then along to Chapel Green.   I saw someone with a load of rubbish from the beach .... I didn’t realise it was Neil (though I should have) until I saw him coming up Glover’s Wynd with the dogs.   I enjoyed the afternoon out in the car.   That was a good move for me because I saw a lady slip, and go down, at the Bus Stop;  luckily she was uninjured.    A gent, passing in a car, stopped to help her up then she and her friend continued on their way.    I was at the East end of the kirkyard when all this was going on.

The ‘News’ pictures coming from the USA just now are, to say the least, a bit


disconcerting and  reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930’s.  Hopefully good sense will prevail and the Presidential handover take place without loss of life.    Sadly the USA is riddled with guns.

Tomorrow looks like being another nice day, though there is the chance of sleet showers in the morning.   I haven’t a ‘plan’, though anywhere I do go will be in the car as it is going to be cold.   I’m thinking of Balcarres Den via Robin Gray’s Cottage.

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
