Another lovely morning ....

19th April 2021 (Monday)     10.30 .... once again we have a quiet morning and


I have been for the paper .... and down to the harbour.   I’m lovin’ the harbour just now, because there’s nae wind which means the water is like a mirror.    Mind you, It doesn’t stay that way long:  by the time I leave the harbour the freshening breeze has got rid of the glass like water.   This morning I was especially rewarded;  ‘Skylark’ (a sailing dingy) was coming in after an early morning sail.... she received full attention and was well photographed.  








12.30    Well .... it’s a bonnie day, warm with light cloud .... and a light breeze.   I had a walk to the beach after ‘morning coffee’.   It was good to see a few folk taking a walk along the beach so I abandoned Nana’s Seat and went down to the edge of the tide, to take in the sound of tiny waves flopping lazily onto the sand ....and to dream a little.    I then went up to John and Jenny’s Seat, to  do some more dreaming.    The beach is good for dreaming today.    I am organised for the trip to Cupar.... and shall leave after lunch.    I am hoping to get out for a tour of the villages, on the bike, when I get back.   


20.30    The onshore wind was too cold for the whole tour of the villages, but I did go up to Chapel Green.     You can see that there’s a change on with the weather;  I was only jokin’ when I said that it would rain on Tuesday because I’d be back biking..... now I’m thinking I might be right.   Light rain is mentioned in the forecast.

I had a pleasant trip to Cupar.... and spent hardly any time with the blood test.   I’d taken a mug of coffee with me with the intention of going to Dura Den on the way home, for a change of scene, but the road was closed so I missed out on that.    I think I may have got as far as the Car Park in Dura Den but I wasn’t sure, so I came home.... and had the coffee in The Hutte.

I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow now that it looks like the weather could be dull:    and a ‘lazy day’, pottering around Ivy Cottage and drawing is appealing.    I have had a hectic day today with zero catnaps so I am tired.   I’ll make the chocolate after this update and have an early night in bed with a book.

The 12 football teams, that have decided to make a European Super League, have

My trusty steed.

created a stir in football circles.    Will they end up with those infantile names so loved by marketing experts?    You know .... Manchester Marauders’,  Chelsea Condors  etc.     Ye Gods it’s pathetic the way things are going;  and the ‘punters’ will have to pay for it all.... via pay TV etc.  That certainly won’t bother me.   Orf to make the chocolate.

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
