Gorgeous morning ....

14th April 2021 (Wednesday)       07.30 .... I can’t remember the last time we

had so many consecutive frosty mornings at the beginning of April..... it’s like we’re coming into winter .... not leaving it.   That said, it also means that the frosty morning is followed by a bonnie, if cool, day;   but I’d prefer more ‘warm and sunny’ days.    However, it’s a bonnie morning and is going to be another nice day.... so let’s enjoy it.

09.00    It’s magical on the beach this morning.... one of those dreamy kind of mornings.   I enjoyed a leisurely meander along the edge of the tide (it’s going out)..... taking a few ‘snaps’ on the way.    The photo of the lady, sitting on the seat at the Chapel, illustrates perfectly the kind of morning it is.   Yes we have the start of a gorgeous day;  I might take time out and have another daunder along the bents later.
















15.00    I did go down to the bents again.... it’s that kind of day.    It’s also the kind of day I like for doing the bathroom, kitchen and front lobby floors, so that job has been done.   Now I am tired, and ready for a cuppa .... and probably ‘50’ in the Hutte.    I must remember to go into Neil’s website (Appleton’s) and look for a new spongy mop;  the one I have is about down to the plastic.... and I need a new front doormat.    Much to do;  after I have the cuppa and  .... er ... the ‘50’. 
 

20.30    I’ve had a busy day .... mostly working... and not on my ‘projects’.    Tomorrow is a day ‘rest’ day .... and definitely no ‘ousework.

I had a trip to the harbour in the evening .... and  Bruce (Bowers) turned up when  so I


chatted to him;    the first time in a long time.    Bruce is more likely to be seen on the Bowling Green.    It was cold at the harbour;  the wind had backed to the Southeast.    Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day but the wind is going to be from the Easterly direction most of the day.... not a favourite wind direction.

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
