Bright and breezy ....

4th March 2021 (Thursday)      09.00 .... It’s definitely a bonnier morning .... we


have big blue holes in the cloud now and again, bringing the chance of a sunny spell our way.    There has been heavy overnight rain and we could have a light shower or two in the first half of the morning.   The light wind is more from the NE.

I’ve been for the paper, checked out the harbour, stopped at the Ship Inn beer garden, to chill out, then back home for breakfast.   I should get out on the bike later this morning.   Clean a window?    I might do that too.

17.30   It has been a pleasant day .... sunny, breezy and cool;  but not as cool as it was yesterday.   I went up to Chapel Green later in the morning and had a potter around the Dome Park.   On the way home I stopped to get some action shots of the demolishing of ‘Four Winds’.   The building was not an architectural gem that’s for sure;  but would hold happy memories for those who lived in it.   The new ‘Four Winds’, which is going to be bonnier architecturally,  will quickly start to build its lifetime store of folk with happy memories of it. 

I also went over the golf course to Grangehill to have a look at the new ‘Grangefield’

Dave - on the eighteenth tee.

which looks like it’s ready for occupation.    My word, the view from the sunroom/conservatory is going to be something else.   You’d hardy need to go out with the camera;  all you’d need was a camera, mounted on a tripod with a big lens and you’d be ‘in’ Edinburgh.






20.30    The wind is backing to the West and we’re going to have sunny intervals tomorrow,  so I will do a washing first thing.   It looks like being a good day for going out.... and .... with the wind going to the West I can (if I feel the urge) clean one of the windows on the street!    Actually it felt colder when I was putting the black bucket out, about five minutes ago;  cleaning the outside of the window? .... could be a cold job!

I met Dave and Harry when I was out today and thought I’d get a photo of them on the eighteenth tee and walking along the eighteenth fairway.    The tee ones I got ..... then the camera battery went!

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
