Peaceful morning ....

20th February 2021 (Saturday)     10.00 .... the beach was quiet this


morning;    Peter caught me up on his way to the ‘paper shop’ but we were the only ones on the beach at sunrise time (sunrise happened behind low cloud).   The sky is overcast and ‘light rain showers’ are mentioned in the forecast for KY9.... the 'light rain' mostly  after midday.    Tomorrow is a better forecast for biking so the bike stays in ‘The Hutte’ today:  I might actually do some tidying up in the front garden.    Right now it’s ‘morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’ time.





17.00    We have a weak boy tonight:  not only did I think of doing something in the garden.... I actually went ahead and ‘did’ something.   Now I am shattered and well ready for a hot shower.    Not that I did that much, but thinking about what I wanted to do had me in a state of weakness, before I began the ‘work’ bit.    The ‘broon’ bucket (garden & food waste) is almost at its limit;  it doesn’t get emptied until 12th March so I have to leave some room for kitchen waste.  

Funnily enough I feel contented after doing something in the garden; ‘Spring is in the air’ right enough.    We have a good forecast for tomorrow;  that’s when my life gets complicated.   Do I work in the garden or go out on the bike? .... and .... I could go to the kirk on ‘Zoom’, having got the code from Myra.    Of course the kirk is also on YouTube and can be tuned into later, should I decide to take advantage of a ‘bright and sunny’ day.   I tell you it is hard bein’ me.   I’m off to have a shower.... and then some food.


21.00    I’ve been watching ‘Full Steam Ahead’, an interesting programme about how the railways revolutionised the country:   providing cities and towns with links to the countryside and coast, for trade and tourism.    I’m now having my chocolate;  an early night in bed is in order after the tough(?), hardworking, weary creating, day I have had.    I feel really really tired after typing that.  ‘Fake news’?    Not on ‘The Hutte’.

We have a beautiful night, with twinkly things in the sky in between the clouds.   I must


go out with the camera some night:  the last time I photographed stars was in New Zealand... trying to find the Southern Cross.   Unfortunately the Southern Cross group of stars were obscured by trees, from where ‘M’ and I were staying.   I did get Orion though.

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
