Light snow showers ....

7th February 2021 (Sunday)       14.30 .... this is the first of me stopping, for


any length of time, since I got up this morning.    I did the ‘paper run’ (and remembered to pick up the paper), went to the harbour then up to Chapel Green.   We have had a few light snow showers but nothing to stop me taking out the camera.... but it is colder.   There was a lot going on all around so I enjoyed myself.

Back at Ivy I had a cuppa before setting about making a batch of Cottage Pies for the freezer (5).    Since then I have sorted out the photographs I took this morning, had lunch and another cuppa.    Now I think I need to find something to watch on the tele.  Myra was saying that there’s rugby on this afternoon, so I’ll go and find that.


22.00    Wales beat Ireland 21 – 16 in the Six Nations (Rugby):  it was an exciting game right to the very end so I didn’t fall asleep.    Ireland had a man sent off in the first half.

It has been a quiet day for me:  I worked on the computer on and off most of the afternoon;  I now have a lot to sort out and write.     I’ll make a start to that tomorrow.

The weather has been ‘nae bad’ today;  any showers we have had were of light snow and it is dry when it falls.    The weather for us tomorrow is, more of the same.... with the chance of a sunny spell, and slightly less windy.   The wind continues to be from the East ... and it is not going to be warm.  

I tried to watch the East Neuk trinity kirk service on YouTube today but it is not really


available via YouTube now;  it has to be ‘Zoom’.   I’m not very good on ‘Zoom’ so I’ll most likely end up watching the service from Holy Cross or St Margaret’s in Uckfield (Sussex).   That’s another thing with this virus;  it has given us a load of choices of kirks to ‘visit’.

With lockdown and the weather I am limited as to where I go with the camera, for my morning exercise.   It will probably morning coffee under the Ship Inn awning.... if it isn’t too 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
