Breezy ....

20th March 2021 (Saturday)     09.00 .... we have a breezier morning so there


is  a bit of wind-chill, but, it’s not cold.  The sky is overcast but the sun is beginning to burn off the cloud, so ...  we should have sunny spells soon.    My ‘plan’ for today, is to sort out the Hutte and potter around Ivy most of the day.   I’ve been for the paper.... now I need breakfast.









21.00    My word..... I have had a lazy restful day.   I had big plans to finish the Hutte but they all fell by the wayside.    Remember Thursday .... that gorgeous, hot sunny day?  the day that I went out twice on the bike, and did a load of work on the Hutte?     Well it caught up with me today.... I never got out of pottering mode.     I did a lot of small jobs:  like setting up the easel:  hanging the Port and Starboard lamps.... stuff like that.    And browsing .... oh I did a lot of browsing:  actually some of the stuff I did has surprised me.   One other surprise I got, was disturbing a hibernating Queen wasp in one of the folders.    I put her out to a warm place in the garden in the hope that she will survive.... thought I suspect it might be too early for her;  she looked groggy.    She looked like I look, when I wake up after having ‘50’ in the Hutte.    The day hasn’t been wasted, just not as productive as I’d intended..... but I have enjoyed it;  even though I didn’t get out on the bike.    .

This morning.

The only time I have been outside Ivy Cottage gate was when I went for the paper this morning .... and that was in the car.   I must take the bike up to Elie for the paper tomorrow.    My ‘plan’ for tomorrow is, finish the Hutte, go to the kirk (via Zoom .... I might even stay for the ‘rooms’ tomorrow), and go for a run on the bike or a walk up to the Pony Field.    That’s assuming I get out of ‘pottering mode’.   When I have my bedtime chocolate, I’ll take a couple of pills .... and go to bed earlier than I did last night.  I worked late on the computer.

Tomorrow’s weather for KY 9 is, ‘sunny intervals with a gentle breeze’.... another bonnie day:  a good day for me working on the Hutte.   I’m orf to make the chocolate and have an early night in bed with my book.    I’d better have a look at today’s ‘News’ on the computer first.

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
