Peaceful ....

9th June 2021 (Wednesday)    09.30 .... I’ve yet to go to Elie for the paper, but I


have been up to Chapel Green, and can tell you that it’s a warm and bonnie morning, .... even though the sky is cloudier.    Actually it could hot and humid later.   I’m going to have a cuppa, then go for the paper;  I’m feeling livelier today.... playful even.








16.00    My word it is cosy out;  21C on the  garden thermometer.... far too warm to work.   I eventually went to Elie for a paper but there was a queue so I didn’t bother with the paper, but I did go to the chemist.    The next ‘port of call’ was the harbour;  Angus, of Elie Water Sports, was getting ready for what I imagine would be a busy day; however,  the tide was out so I didn’t stay at the harbour very long.   I did think of going out to the Lady’s Tower but decided to go home by way of Ardross, Balbuthie and Kinneuchar arriving home just as the thought of food began to enter the brain.   After lunch I fell fast asleep;  now I am ready to go out to play. 

Elie High Street.

21.00    I never did go ‘out to play’.... it was too hot;  instead of ‘playing’, I sat in The Hutte and did a Soduko, and nursing a migraine (humid weather).    According to Helen (weather forecaster) it is going to be uncomfortably warm tonight;  I’ve started a new book so that might be handy.

There’s going to be a partial eclipse of the sun tomorrow morning (from 10.00 to midday) so that should cool things down a bit.... it’s forecast to be cloudy so it might not be visible to us anyway.   It the sun is visible do not view the eclipse without very dark glasses to protect your eyes.   I won’t bother trying to actually view it;  the sun is only going to be 1/3rd covered from here;  but even so, it should be noticeable in other ways.... a cooling of the air, and slightly less light about.

I’ve had another ‘rest day’ though I did get out twice on the bike so have had some


exercise.   I’ll go for the paper in the morning, then charge the bike battery, with a view to going somewhere in the afternoon; it’s not supposed to be quite as warm and humid as it was today.

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
