Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

5th June 2021 (Saturday)   10.30 .... I had another braw ‘paper run’ this

Elie Ness lighthouse....with Cadillac in the foreground.

morning.... and the sun was warm at that time.    I did the same route as yesterday anti clockwise;  things look ‘different’ going the other way.    The wind had freshened by the time I got back to Ivy and there are a few fluffy clouds beginning to appear..... we might have some bonnie clouds by evening time.   I have sorted a few of this morning’s photographs, the remainder will be done later;  right now it’s time for a cuppa and a cat ... Soduko, in The Hutte.



16.30    It has been a ‘sunny and warm’ day;  too hot to work in the garden.    I was heading towards a really ‘lazy day;  luckily Shona came down from Barnyards (on her bike), so we had a cuppa and a lot of chatting as we caught up with each other’s ‘news’.    At one point we had to abandon The Hutte as it was too hot, even with the door and vents open.   Shona is away home so I am thinking of having a run up to Chapel Green.... before putting the bike battery on charge for tomorrow.   I might get a wee bit o’ tidying up done in the garden in the evening .... when the air is cooler.    It was 21C in the shade in the middle of the afternoon.  

The East end of Elie High Street.

20.00    Instead of tiring myself out with working in the garden.... I went up to Chapel Green to contemplate.    Vicky Salvage and her husband (St Monans) came round, walking their dog, and stopped to have chat:  mostly about the changes that are happening around the East Neuk.   The whole of the East Neuk is busy with holiday makers, houses changing hands at exorbitant prices.... and general ‘change’ all round.    There’s no doubt that the year of the COVID pandemic will go down as a time of major change, around the East Neuk.  However, this has been a good day regarding conversation for me;  things are becoming more ‘normal’ as far as that goes.

The bike battery is charging up just now, ready for a wee explore somewhere tomorrow:  the weather forecast is good.   I’ll go out later in the morning.... the roads are usually quieter on a Sunday.

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
