Beautiful, misty morning ....

20th August 2021 (Friday)    10.00   I’ve been for the paper, and at the


harbour.... and had a walk to the beach after ‘mooring up’ the car.    It’s mistier this morning, but the light was fantastic and the tide was out, so I just had to go to the beach.  I wasn’t the only one out enjoying the tranquil morning:  a lady was out on a paddle board ... and a few folk were walking the beach.   The sun has broken through since then and we now have a lovely morning;   I’ll get the bike out after breakfast.




16.30    We ended up with a gorgeous day and I did go out on the bike.   The Master Plan was to have my ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’ at Chapel Green.   I did the Chapel Green bit nae bother.... only to find that I’d left the coffee in the kitchen.   It was still hot when I got back to Ivy (it was in one of those Thermos mugs) so I had my morrrrrning coffee.... but not at Chapel Green.    I met James and Jennifer at Chapel Green, they’d been for their morning walk; out to Shell Bay and back along the top of the cliffs.    We searched for, and found, one of ‘our’ oil platforms that had disappeared in the mist.


22.00  After a really enjoyable, and busy (for me) day I am well ready for bed.  Although the sky clouded over in the afternoon it remained dry;  but we can expect spells of light rain overnight and tomorrow.  It has been warm today.... and it still is;  probably means a restless night for me.   That reminds me I need to get a new bedtime book.

Thankfully I see on the News, that the airlift from Afghanistan is beginning to gather momentum.... let’s hope all those Afghans (and their families) who helped The Coalition get out.   We just don’t know how lucky we are.   I remember DP’s (Displaced Persons) from (all over) Europe coming to work on Tillygreig Farm (Aberdeenshire) in 1947 .... although, at nine years old, didn’t really know what they were going through, I knew what ‘displaced’ meant.  I hope the ‘displaced’ Afghans find a new home, with peace,

Jennifer.

happiness, and love .... wherever they eventually settle.    We can only hope that the ‘new’ political leadership, and all their followers, in Afghanistan, accept the Rights of Women and Humans Rights in general.   My word that is heavy stuff from me tonight:  I’d better get orf to bed.

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
