My word .... we have a beautiful day ....

21st February 2021 (Sunday)     10.00 ....I’ve been for a braw walk this


morning;   along the beach to Telfer Wynd, then up to and home by way of the golf course.    It’s a bonnie Spring day so I should get some work done in the garden;  then again I may go out on the bike.   Right now I’m going to try and get into the kirk service on ‘Zoom’  ....failing that I can get it on YouTube, either now or later in the day:  Got to make a cuppa first.


15.00    ‘Going to the kirk’ on ‘Zoom’  works perfectly;  well it did once I knew what to do in ‘the room’.   The ‘room’ is where you go for five minutes, at the end of the service, and meet with a few others, from the ‘congregation’, for a ‘blether’.   Up till now I have been ‘going to kirk’ on YouTube,  but without doubt ‘Zoom’ is better.

I have just ‘surfaced’, having fallen asleep in front of the tele after lunch;  watching a Midsomer Murders' and missing the last half hour for the second time.    After a reviving cuppa, I’ll do a wee bit of gardening.


19.30   Spring must still be in the air.... why? .... because I did some more gardening this afternoon.    Not much but enough to have me feeling tired.  The bike never left ‘The Hutte’ today but the ‘Master Plan’ for tomorrow is to go out on the bike.   That reminds me.... I must put the phone on charge.

There’s a programme,  that starts at 19.30 on Channel 9,  called ‘The town that floored the world’:   Kirkcaldy.   I will make a hot chocolate and settle down to watch that.



21.30     .....

             For I ken mysel’ by the queer-like smell

             That the next stop’s Kirkcaldy!

.... the last two lines of the poem “The Boy in the Train” by M.C. Smith, perfectly describes the town of Kirkcaldy in its linoleum making hay day!  ..... and I enjoyed an

.... it's breakfast time!

interesting hour watching TV.

I suppose I’d better get ready for bed..... I want to be well rested for an active day tomorrow.    I’m thinking Balcarres Estate.

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
