27th February 2021 (Saturday)   11.00 .... I was in a state of excitement on

The setting moon.

the beach this morning;  the sun was rising in the Southeast.... and the moon setting in the Northwest:  I had a great time.   It has taken me until now to sort out the photographs;  though I did take time out to go to the paper shop and the bakers.   Anyway we had a gorgeous sunrise (‘red sky in the morning’ etc;  probably warning us to use sun cream) .... and the even after the sun was up the light was awesome.   I enjoyed myself. 

What’s the ‘plan’ for today?.... I will do a wee bit of work in the garden so that I won’t feel guilty if when I go out on the bike after lunch.    I mean; It would be naughty to not to go out in the sun and absorb some Vitamin D!   Must ‘go’... ‘flap on’ ....it’s morning coffee time.

18.30     I never did go out on the bike;  I did the wee bit of gardening to salve my conscience and that must have tired me out, ‘cos I sat down in the Hutte to do a Soduko and fell fast asleep.   I suppose I do get up early;  I waken at 05.30 and get ‘up’ at 06.00, shower, do the beach (or wherever I go to take a batch of photos to record ‘my today’.   


Back at Ivy I then download the photos, have breakfast, go for the paper, then back home to sort the photos out.... uploading few onto my FB page.    By the time I’ve done all that... and written an update for ‘The Hutte’;  it’s usually 11.00.   It’s a full time ‘job’ for me and I love it.... especially with the weather we’re getting just now;      Jimmy (Maggie’s Uncle Jimmy) used to say that, as you get older you tire quicker.   He was right.   Anyway I am a happy ‘boy’ albeit a tired one.



21.00   I guess this has been a ‘rest day’ for me .... though I have been feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed since I had a catnap in the Hutte.   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day, according to the weather forecasters:  it could be time to unearth the sun-cream right enough.   I plan to go out on the bike .... I haven’t made up my mind where to go, as long as I get some exercise.

The programme about the Cornish Fishermen finished last week, so I have been


watching ‘Full Steam Ahead’.... all about the railways and transformation they brought in Victorian times.... a fascinating hour of steam trains and Heritage railways.

I’m orf to make my bedtime chocolate.... then have a quick browse through the TV channels.

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
