Lovely morning ....

18th April 2021 (Sunday)      09.00 .... we have another quiet morning but it is


cloudier: I'm sure that a bit of light cloud won’t stop us enjoying ourselves.... and we should have sunny spells.    I’ve for the paper and down to the harbour ;  my word I am enjoying the harbour just now.   The tide is right, there’s nae wind and we have reflections; it’s a dreamy place to be.   I’d better go and feed ‘Blob’;  and have my own breakfast.









15.30    It looks like we had the best of the day first thing;   I fell asleep after lunch and when I woke up it had been raining: That said, it’s a nice enough day and the rain isn’t heavy .... just damp.   I should have guessed that the weather would change;   I can go out on the bike after my blood test (PSA) at Cupar on Monday!

I’ve had a ... er ... ‘restful’ kind of day;  apart from sorting out the photos I got at the


harbour this morning... and goin’ to the kirk on Zoom, I have done very little.  I’m now going to have a cuppa (to help with the waking up process) then will do a spot of ‘ooverin’, before settling down to draw for an hour or so.










21.30    There’s one thing about this pandemic .... it seems to have made  time go faster:  I don’t know about you but everyday seems to rocket past.    In fact when I look in the mirror I get the impression that time has been moving faster.   I have great ‘plans’ but only get a fraction of what I intend doing ‘done’.    And yet I enjoy myself.... and am happy enough at the end of the day.  

Tomorrow I have my blood test(PSA) at Cupar;   I will be glad when that is done.    Oh I don’t bother about giving blood.... but it has been a long two weeks of not biking.... one time when ‘time’ went slowly.

Someone asked me the other day what the difference is between a city orientated way of life and a village one:  there’s absolutely no difference in the folk, that make up cities and villages .... only the numbers.   And change has been going on since ‘something’ decided to leave the water, many millions of years ago eventually evolving into.... ‘us’.   However, local village knowledge will be ‘lost’;  for example you hardly ever see anyone, down among the rocks looking for lobsters at Spring tides now.   Knowledge of the ‘secret’ lobster holes will soon be lost.   Another thing that is different;   when village folk meet, for a cup of coffee, or tea, to discuss ‘local affairs’, usually in hushed voices;  their conversations begin something like this  ... “Did you hear aboot?” .... “Don’t say that I told you this” .... etc.... all ‘Top Secret’ stuff.    City orientated meetings, to discuss


‘whatever city folks’ discuss’,  normally involves a stronger lubricant than tea or coffee, and ends up buzzin, .... like a wasp byke that’s been given a poke with a stick.   It’s just evolution in action.   I’m lovin’ the new Earlsferry.... and Elie.

This has been a change in the weather day but tomorrow is going to be sunnier again;  I might even go out on the bike when I get back from Cupar.

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
