Nice, quiet morning ....

6th March 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... All was not as it has been at the


harbour this morning;  we had two Ainster creel boats at the pier.   They are being ‘craned out’ here because Elie harbour is quieter.   That brightened up my early trip to the harbour.... but I didn’t wait for the crane to arrive;  it was too cauld.   

We have a bonnie day ahead.... mostly sunny with a light breeze from the North, but it is cool.    I’ll go out on the bike after morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.    Right now I’m going to hang out a wee washing. 

15.30    I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day;  and all I've done is potter around Ivy Cottage.   The washing dried and has been ironed, the bathroom, kitchen and front lobby floors washed and some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’.    I actually feel contented, and slightly tired.    The only thing I feel guilty about is me not making use of the bike;  it has a fully charged battery.    That could easily be sorted;  I’ve just finished the ironing, so I’ll have a cuppa and consider taking the bike out after that.


17.00   I did get the bike out and went up to Chapel Green, then to the Pony Field for a wee bit of exercise after the above mentioned cuppa.    It’s actually quite cold... a raw cold;  suggesting a change in the weather to something that will dampen down dust.   There was a lot of folk out;  golfers on the golf course walkers on the Coastal Path.... and bikes on Ferry Road.   The villages are busy;  so there’s always someone to talk to ... if I can sneak up on them!

22.30    I am watching ‘The Hobbit’ on TV this evening;  it’s a three hour film (minus the adverts it will be two and a half of The Hobbit) and they have cut out a lot of the book.    So.... I’ll have to read the book again (for the third time).   The fact that they are showing The Hobbit makes me think they might be showing ‘Lord of the Rings’ soon.

‘Light rain and a moderate breeze’ for KY9 tomorrow;  that means probably means I'll be doing computer stuff. 


Light rain means a chance of precipitation as opposed to steady rain.    You never know it might turn out not too bad.

 I’ll make the chocolate and then settle down to watch the last half hour of The Hobbit;  it f9nishes at 23.00.

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
