Peaceful morning ....

27th August 2021 (Friday)    08.00 .... I’ll take the car for a run this


morning;  don’t know where but I fancy a wee change of scene.    The weather is, as was forecast;  a cloudy morning.... but the sun should break though by midday, giving us a nice afternoon and evening.   

 17.30     My ‘change of scene’ ended up being Leven High Street, (and Sainsbury’s).... neither of them exciting, but I wanted to see what the High Street looked like.   The frontage of the former Cummings shop has been ‘fenced off:  whether this is the start of something new, remains to be seen.   I’ll have to go back in a couple of weeks to find out;  apart from that the High Street is depressing.   I got the bits and pieces I wanted, then, ‘cos I was in Leven I moved on to Sainsbury’s.... that didn’t excite me either, but I did a shopping, .... so I won’t have to go to ‘The Store’ on Sunday morning.   I think that I was (subconsciously) hoping to find the ‘old normal’.... but I think that has gone forever.   The next time I’m in Leven I’ll see if  Stuart’s is ‘open’, for sit in morning coffee.


We have had a bonnie afternoon, and the evening looks promising so I may go out on the bike, having done a Soduko.... and some work in the afternoon.    (No wonder I am weary).

21.30    I had an evening run up to Chapel Green, on what was a gorgeous evening, though there was a cool onshore breeze.   The St Monans skiff, ‘Sea Queen’, was out on the bay;  and ‘Skylark’ was sailing out by the lighthouse.... it was a really peaceful evening.

The crane has been 'folded up' for the weekend the ‘Chapel Green House site, with most of the steel frame of the new build in place.    It should begin to look like a house in a few weeks. 

We’re going to have ‘more of the same’ weather tomorrow;  I might go out on the bike


early, and go for the paper by way of Elie Estate.... I haven’t done that for a wee while .... only if it isn’t too misty.

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
