Glorious morrrrrrrrning .....

28th August 2021 (Saturday)     14.30 ....It was that bonnie a mornin’ that I


got intae a state o’ excitement, and the paper.    I left Ivy at 07.00 and got back again at 09.15... and...  never left Elie and Earlsferry.   When I was coming away from the harbour (I’d been there for nigh on an hour)  I met James, and some other rowers, making the skiffs ready for action;  both ‘Archie’ (Elie) and ‘Sea Queen’ (St Monans) were going out.   I promptly made my way up to the seats overlooking the harbour, where I got a few photographs of the skiffs being launched and setting out across the bay.   I then made my way to Chapel Green and got a few more of them by the Beacon.    What a morning;  it was one of those especial Elie and Earlsferry mornings, and a lot of folk were out enjoying it.  I've come to the conclusion that Paddle Boarding is the way to go on mornings like this;  it looks so ‘falling apart’ and relaxing.   Work?    No I haven’t done any of that!

20.00    This afternoon I decided to a wee bit of ‘work’.... nothing strenuous , just a bit of measuring and marking out.    Tomorrow I’ll do the cutting etc.   It has been a lovely day.... in spite of the onshore breeze.... but I felt in a working mood.    I thought about going out on the bike in the evening but I still have a load of photographs from this morning to go through:  sorting them, will keep me going until bedtime.


There must be a change in the weather coming;  I have a migraine .... something I haven’t had for a while.   I’ll make a cuppa and take a couple o’ pills, .... then it will be an early night in bed with the book.

I don’t have any plan for tomorrow.   I had thought about going to the kirk service at Colinsburgh Toon Hall, but you still have to fill in a form, so I don’t think I’ll bother.   It will probably be on YouTube later on so I’ll watch it then.

I’ve had a really good and enjoyable day.... well until the migraine kicked in:  even that


won’t bother me too much ‘cos I’ll sleep it off overnight.   I’m not going to bed just yet.... I am in the middle of watching a film.

We are going to have a cloudier day tomorrow... and cooler... according to the weather forecasters.   I won’t go out early, in fact, tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day’.

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
