Lovely morrrrrrrrning .....

1st May 2021 (Saturday)    09.30 ....and ...what an absolutely gorgeous morning


we have at the Centre of the Universe.  

I’ve been for the paper (there was a queue outside the shop, so I didn’t actually get a paper) and down at the harbour.   There was a lot of activity down there;  with new ladder being fitted at the end of the pier (at low tide), the Gannets were feeding in the bay and the Eider duck were on manoeuvres.   I might go down there on the bike later.... if the streets aren’t too busy.

It was warm when I was at the harbour, but I notice that the air is cooler now;   probably because the breeze has freshened.

‘Blob’ (bless his feathery butt) has just flown past (in the computer room);  I’d better go and let him out..... and feed him.   He must have come in when I was speaking to Jim and Jennifer.   It’s all ‘go’ at Ivy this morning.

Gannet with a Flounder for breakfast.

19.00    I didn’t go out on the bike because, once the sky clouded over and the showers came, it turned much colder.    I have put the battery on charge and intend going for the paper on the bike first thing;  that appears to be the best time of day.    It was actually warm in the sun at the harbour this morning.

By the time I sorted out the photographs taken this morrrrrning it was lunch time.    I had lunch, then went out to The Hutte to read the papers (Myra kindly dropped her papers off after she had read them) so I didn’t have to go for a paper.   It was too cold for me on the bike by then anyway.    It was cosy in The Hutte and I fell sound asleep.... not for long .... and woke up feeling frisky as a Spring lamb;  so I finished reading the papers, did  Soduko and started another drawing.

22.00    I have had an enjoyable and busy day today;   if the weather is good tomorrow, I have a fully charged battery on the bike just waiting to be used.  

Although the villages are busy with visitors I don’t feel as ‘under threat’  as I did before,


having had my second ‘jab’ three weeks ago;  but it’s going to take a long time to get back to pre pandemic levels of ‘relaxed’ I’m thinking.

Oh .... I forgot, I am in the middle of watching ‘Rebus’ solve another crime in Edinburgh.   Off to put the kettle on then settle down to watch what's left of it.

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
