Bonnie morrrrrrrrrning .....

31st May 2021 (Monday)    06.00 .... we have another balmy morning;  it’s


 quiet, bright, sunny and warm,  with only a light breeze (E).    I see haar/fog in most of the Fife weather cams but we are clear at the moment;   I’ll go out on the bike after a cuppa.

09.30     It’s a crackin’ morning;   however, the haar is moving in off the sea, and the breeze has freshened since I was out .... so it’s beginning to feel cooler, but it should be a nice enough day.    I will stay around Ivy and do a spot of tidying up around the garden:  and.... although not a great ‘drying day’ I have a small washing on the line .... it should dry by evening time.   I have been a reasonably busy boy.   On the ‘paper run’ I did the villages and Elie Estate so I am a tired boy .... I still have few photos to ‘play’ with, but I’ll sort them after ‘morning coffee’ and a cat-nap.


21.00    ‘Ne’er cast a cloot, till May is oot’ is an auld saying:  well, May is oot but I won’t be ‘castin’ a cloot’ until the wind stops comin’ off the North Sea.   This has been another bonnie day that has been spoiled by the onshore breeze:  that said, it was warm in Ivy garden.   I actually went out on the bike in the afternoon but only went as far as Kinneuchar, then up to Chapel Green.   Funny thing is;  when I go out at 06.00, there’s nae wind and I can feel the heat from the sun;  and .... I have no problem with asthma.   That, the asthma, kicks in about 11.00 for some reason.... probably when the wind freshens and the air is colder.

There’s some rubbish that I want to take to the re-cycling Depot, but I think you have still to book a time so I’ll just use the ‘bloo’ bucket for a few weeks until I get rid of the rubbish.   I haven’t been to ‘the dump’ since before the first lockdown.   

I have a fully charged battery on the bike but I will only be out first thing, as Iain is coming down, and I want to do some stuff in the garden.  

I am tired tonight;  it must be the weather because I haven’t done very much.   Tomorrow


might end up being a ‘rest’ day.   The weather is going to be much like it was today....with  the warmest weather being away from the East coast.   I have nae real ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  get up and out early to go for the paper and take a few photographs, then potter about for the rest of the day.

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
