Fantastical morning .....

16th April 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... What a fantastical morning;  bright sunny


.... and because there’s only a light breeze now and again.... it's warm.   And peaceful.... my word it’s so peaceful.    I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;   I had a great time down there.... taking a few photographs and just ‘falling apart’.    The tide is going out just now so I’ll go out again, later in the afternoon.    Enjoy your day:  I am going to have ‘morning coffee’ in The Hutte.








21.00    Once again we have had a lovely day.... and.... once again the wind was chilly in the afternoon.    That said the villages appeared to be busy with day-trippers enjoying the freedom on the new ‘rools’.    It was great seeing the beach being enjoyed .... in spite of the chilly onshore breeze.

Honor.

I had a quiet day after my initial excitement of the early morning.    I did some drawing and a couple of Soduko’s in the Christmas Soduko Book.   They are tricky but I have finally got the hang of them.

In the afternoon I went up to Elie (in the car) to say ‘Cheerio” to ‘Primmy’ (Primrose) who was making her last journey, along South Street and  the Terrace (where we used to meet in the morning) then up Rankeillor Street and onto Elie High Street on her way to Kirkcaldy Crematorium.    She was a lovely girl was Primrose and I missed our early morning chats(she was confined to her house for the past few months) ....  aboot our knees and things.... and of course .... the weather.    I met a few folks that I haven’t seen for ... well the past year;  and was happy to see that they all look well and are looking forward to the Coffee Mornings restarting:  though that could be a long way down the line yet.

Honor was out;  giving Jock’s stick some exercise:  Oh?.... it might have been Honor’s

Primrose on her final trip up The Terrace.

stick as she has just had a hip replacement;  anyway Honor was out for a walk so I caught up with her ‘news’... and discussed knees and things.   By the time the cortege came up The Terrace, we a good crowd of people at ‘our chosen corner’.... waiting to pay their respects to Primrose.

‘Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast for us tomorrow.... so not perhaps as bonnie as it was today.    I’m having my normal early morning  sortie out for the paper, then I shall  the day drawing and being ‘lazy’ around Ivy Cottage.

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
