Blob .... 'in love' ....

17th February 2021 (Wednesday)       07.30 .... It’s going to be a nice day


... right now it’s raining, not heavily but has been for a while by the look of it and it’s definitely wet.    There was a bit of red sky earlier but I didn’t go out with the camera;  I plan to go out on the bike later.  ‘Blob’ was singing his ‘I’m in love’ song this morning again;  he’s unquestionably thinking, ‘love nest’.   I’m orf to have an early breakfast... and mug o’ caffeine.

22.30    Joyful me .... I’ve had a great day... welll not great... enjoyable would be  a better word.      I did get to the beach... about 08.30 .... the tide was on the way out so we had a wet beach .... and a wet beach equals ... reflections.  With the wind being out of the southwest, the sea calmed down, it was much quieter.    I could hear the seabirds!


To bring the photos I was taking ‘to life’,  someone had to walk on to the beach.... and lo and behold someone came down from the Breakwater and to the water’s edge for their morning walk.    Actually I think this lady may do this walk every morning because I have been lucky recently;  someone has walked into the pictures every morning and it might well be the same lassie every time.

Further to my Cornwall comment last night.    Three years ago (come June) Myra, Jim and I went on a bus tour to Cornwall.  It was on this tour that I fell in love with ‘Elizabeth’.    She was lovely....  and will still be lovely.   Elizabeth was travelling with her daughter ‘Liz’, and was a year older than me;   so I was Elizabeth’s ‘toy boy’.    Anyway it’s not my ‘romantic endeavours’ I want to tell you about.    Last night I told you about the last cove fishery in Cornwall;   in Cornwall one of the places we visited was a beautiful fishing village, with a harbour, called Polperro.   I got separated from everyone and ended up said harbour where I was lucky enough to find a local fisherman taking trips round to the next bay in

Liz and Elizabeth.

his creel boat.   I just had to do that.   It was brilliant... the sea was flat calm, and the fisherman, who had been born in Polperro told us about his making a living from the creels, and the local area:  last night’s programme reminded me of our holiday in Cornwall and Elizabeth ... oops .... Polperro in particular.    And so ends my reminiscing.   I’d best not watch any more fishing programmes from Cornwall!    I have never seen Elizabeth since.

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
