Beautiful morning ....

3rd April 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 .... After a touch early morning frost, we


have a gorgeous morning.... and it is to be ‘bright and sunny’ for the whole day.   I went out early on the bike and did the Chapel Green to the Harbour ‘tour’.... it was really bonnie, and it would have been chilly if I hadn’t wrapped up.     The air will warm up rapidly once the sun gets higher and there’s hardly any wind-chill factor:  another bonnie Easter weekend day to be enjoyed.

10.30    I’m having a break from cleaning the windows.... oh ... we have a beautiful, sunny and warm, day now;   a good day for cleaning windows.   That will be my serious ‘work’ for today.   The original Plan was to sit in the Hutte and draw;  which is what I will do after I finish the windows.    I did think of going out on the bike again .... but I’ll see how I feel after morning coffee.   Biking depends on how busy the streets are.


18.00    I remembered that I had a prescription to pick up so I did go out on the bike again;   and went to the harbour.   It was good seeing folk out enjoying water sports and the beach again....canoes, the walking on water thing (paddle board), building sand castles and all that kind of thing. It has been a bonnie day for doing all that.    I of course overdid the window cleaning and biking, so fell sound asleep in the Hutte, for nigh on an hour.    However I eventually had a successful afternoon drawing .... so I am a happy boy, albeit a tired one, tonight.   

According to the forecast it’s going to be slightly cloudier and much windier tomorrow;  but I intend having a ‘rest day’ so the weather won’t bother me too much.   I think it’s time to put the kettle ‘on’.

21.00    It’s good seeing some kind of normality coming back into the villages.   They (the villages) aren’t as busy as a pre COVID-19 Easter Weekend, but there is a holiday mood in the air.    As long as we stay safe and obey the ‘rools’ we could have a decent holiday season.

I’ve had a brilliant day....a reasonable balance of work and play;  I am a contented boy


tonight.   I am hoping that the creative mood is ‘on me’ again tomorrow;  I had a really successful afternoon today.    I’m orf to make a mug o’ chocolate then browse the TV channels.

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
