Bonnier morning ....

15th May 2021 (Saturday)   09.30 .... there’s a friskier breeze today (SE) so it is


cool, but ... we have had sunny spells, so it could be a brighter day, albeit cool when exposed to the wind.    I had a change of direction this morning;  I decided to have a walk along the beach, then up to the golf course and back to Ivy via the 18th fairway.  It’s a beautiful morning now.... warm in the sun, though it is a cool breeze.  The ‘plan’ is to have breakfast,  then get the bike to for the paper.




12.30    We’ve got a beautiful day;  perfect ‘play’ day.   I’ve been for the paper... but there was a queue outside the shop so I ended up at the harbour instead;   this was at 10.30 and the harbour area was already busy with people and vehicles.    I was speaking to a man from Shell Bay caravan site, and he was saying that all the touring spaces are full, and it looks like all the statics are full too.   .   I enjoyed a cup of ‘arbour ‘ouse coffee at the ‘arbour... and ... er  ... a large piece of cake;  the cake has a proper name but I forget it.    It was tasty.  

The ‘paper shop’ still had a queue outside it when I went back ‘uptown’ so .... I have yet to get a paper.    The bike battery is being charged up so I might get a paper in the afternoon.... if the streets aren’t too busy.   It looks like being a busy weekend.    


18.30   The ‘work’ of the past couple of days caught up with me.... and .... today has been a ‘rest’ day.    That means I fell asleep in The Hutte after lunch.   I have been out twice today so I have had some exercise.... and I did do a wee bit of gardening.   I transferred a couple of weeds into their holiday transport;  the ‘broon bucket’.

The bike has a fully charged battery.... and I’m wondering if i should go out for a run this evening or keep the fully charged battery until tomorrow.    You can understand why being me is hard work;  I’m always having to make decisions.    I relied on Maggie making decisions.   I need a cuppa.

22.30    I got engrossed in a programme  about our Royal Family .... ‘Father and Son divided’ I think it was called, which is why I am later in going to bed tonight. .   I also watched the ‘News’ and was horrified at the infantile behaviour in Glasgow:   I guess we’ll find out if it was a ‘super spreader event’ in a few weeks.   

 Tomorrow is going to be another cool day with the chance of heavy showers later on.   I


must remember to go for a paper tomorrow.... then I think I shall continue with the ‘rest day’ idea.... pottering around Ivy.

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
