Gorgeous morrrrrrrrrning .....

20th May 2021 (Thursday)    09.30 ....



Really peaceful this morrrrning.... but rain is forecast to move in over by mid- morning.
I am contemplating changing the  Hutte' format;    me writing about what I do is becoming boring, so I'm going to put up a few photographs, with a wee bit of writing instead.



The above 'plan' (to change The Hutte) has been cancelled.... so.....

20th May 2021 (Thursday)    09.30 .... It was stunningly bonnie down at the


harbour at 06.30  this morning, so much so that that I walked round it twice..... happily clicking about 120 times.   The freshening breeze soon got rid of the mirror like water.... and the temperature began to drop.   It was a magical morning.... but the forecast isn’t great for later today.

11.30    Well I did some ‘ousework.... including doing a small washing, which is hanging in front of a radiator;  it should dry when I turn up the central heating.   The weather was reasonably bright (not sunny)  so I went up to Barnett’s (the baker)  on the bike;   I meant to take a coffee mug with me, and get a coffee at ‘arbour ‘ouse but I forgot .... so had to make-do with one of my own coffee’s., when I got back to Ivy, by which time the sky was beginning to look threatening.


19.00    The rain eventually reached us about 13.00, since then I have been doing ‘ouswifely things, drinking numerous cuppas, and having an occasional glimpse at the tele to see if I could find anything I fancied watching.   I didn’t.... not until 16.00 when I thought I’d help Poirot solve a mystery.   As is normal with me I missed the end (fell sound asleep in the chair) of it;  so ... it may no longer be a mystery to Poirot, but it is to me.

20.30    I suppose I could claim to have had a busy and nearly successful day.    I say nearly successful because;   I remember Maggie used to was cushions now and again so I thought.... oh I’ll wash a couple of cushions.   What I forgot was that you only wash the skins, and air the insides.    Oh well ... I now have two cushions that need a decent drying day  .... or two...before they are dry again.    I had to spin them one at a time, and the washing machine refused to spin with one of them so it is drip drying into basin.... the other one is fine.    It’s a whole bundle of fun being ‘me’.

‘Plan’ for tomorrow?   Well the weather forecast isn’t brilliant for the beginning of the


day, windy and wet;  more or less for most of the daylight hours.    I’ll take the car when I go for the paper.

Changing the format of The Hutte was never going to work:  I’m too stuck in my way to change;  and the original idea of a ‘blog’ was Maggie’s.... she thought it would give me something to think about  when her ‘nae weelness’ was diagnosed.   So it stays as it was, and has been for nigh on 20 years.

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
