BST ....

28th March 2021 (Sunday)     07.30  08.30 ....According to the computer clock


the clocks must have changed to BST last night;   Ivy Cottage will catch up in a few minutes.... I thought I got ‘up’ at 06.00 when in fact it was 07.00.

We’ve had some rain overnight and, though dry at present, there could be more rain to come later.    I haven’t been for the paper;  before I do anything else I need another cuppa, to move my brain forward an hour.

10.00    I’ve been for the paper....  and down to the harbour;  the car is now moored up and so am I.   It’s a bonnie day but there could be more rain later.   I’m going to get myself organised to ‘go to the kirk’;   by ‘organised’ means .... that I need to make a mug of coffee.

12.30    We had a sad announcement at the Kirk Service this morning;   Olive (Weir) our Session Clerk died yesterday afternoon.   Olive was a ‘weel kent’ and much loved ‘girl’, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.    My thoughts and prayers are with Ken, Lorna and James at this sad time. 


I didn’t go into the ‘Room’ after the service, because with the clock change I am chasing my tail... and will be all day.    I’m feeling frisky and playful so must be back to ‘my normal’... and should be up and runnin’ tomorrow at the correct (BST) time.    Orf to organise lunch;   I am really hungry and looking forward to food .... it’s sausages and mash (my own make).

19.30    It’s been a funny old day.    This clock change always throws me out of kilter and I never really got going.    I changed the birds water dish, and did a Soduko sitting in the Hutte.... but that was about it.    I saw Irene setting off for her walk out to Ardross;  I hope she didn’t get wet, because light rain (sort of Scotch Mist) began not long after I saw her.   I'm sure Irene would call her personal taxi (Andrew) if necessary.

I did take a quick walk to the beach in the evening, but it was spitting rain all the time so


I didn’t take a whole bunch of photographs.     The wind, which was brisk, was warm;  in fact if it hadn’t been spitting rain I’d have wandered along to the Breakwater.  Strong winds and light cloud is our weather forecast for tomorrow.... and it’s to be warm.

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
