Lovely morning .....

15th February 2021 (Monday)     10.00 .... The wind has veered to the


southwest, the birds are singing their Spring territorial) songs (so am I, within the confines of Ivy), the snow has gone.... and ... we had a lovely sunrise.   The Centre of the Universe is looking good:  I might even get the bike out today.... probably around about midday.   I haven’t been for the paper:  I’ll do that after morrrrrrrning coffee.








16.00   Welll .... it has been a nice enough day but I didn’t get take the bike out;  the weather forecast for tomorrow is slightly brighter but also breezier so I’ll bike up for the paper tomorrow.    I was in need of milk today, so had to take the car up this morning.

With the snow having thawed, I had a short walk up to the Pony Field and onto the golf course;  there’s still snow in the bunkers and other nooks and crannies, but even that should have gone by the end of  tomorrow.   I think I’ll have another cuppa then take a wander down to the beach before  sunset.


21.00    I’m a tired ‘bunny’ tonight after today’s wanderings:  however, I did enjoy being out in a warmer temperature!    Having said that;  have you seen the forecast for this week?.... the temperature is going to be up to 17c down south  (Sunny Sussex) and even 12c with us by the end of the week;  well above average for this time of year.    I‘ll need to look out the sun cream!   There’s a good chance that I will get out on the bike.    ‘Blob’ (Bless his feathery butt) will have thoughts of “luv ‘n stuff” at that temperature!

The beach was quieter when I was down there at sunset time;  the waves were still rolling in from the southeast, but they (the waves) were slightly more subdued than they had been earlier in the day.  

It’s going to be sunny and warm, with a brisk wind tomorrow.... I might try to do some

Misty Earlsferry.

tidying up around the garden.   The blackbirds have been ‘digging’ and scattering fallen leaves everywhere.   There’s much needing to be done. 

It’s time to make the chocolate and have a browse through the TV Channels.... I might get lucky and find something to watch.    I think there’s a programme about a fishing cove in Cornwall on at 21.00;   I fancy watching something like that.   Apparently it’s the last of the original ‘fishing’ coves’ left in Cornwall;  the others having been .... brought ‘up to date’.

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

 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
