Diamond Wedding Anniversary ....

9th September 2021 (Thursday)     08.30 .... Today is the Diamond


Anniversary of one of the (if not ‘the’) best days of my life;  the day I married Maggie.  I will have celebratory cake and a toast at Chapel Green sometime today.... assuming the weather is okay.    There’s a reasonable chance of light rain showers.    ‘JB’ and I will celebrate after dinner.... with ‘After Dinner Mints’.    I see that the wind has backed to the East again, however, although it is cloudy it is a nice morning, but cooler than the past few days. 

I feel frisky this mornin’.... which is surprising;   I expected my muscles to be stiff after all the work I did yesterday.     Must ‘go’ .... slight ‘flap on’ today;  got the back panels to cut down and fit on the cupboard before putting it back in the boiler cupboard.

10.30    Well the ‘chance of light rain showers’ turned out to be nearly right;  the showers we’ve just has wisnae ‘light’ and it lasted for nigh on half an hour.... so nae morning coffee at Chapel Green.    ‘JB’ would have had ‘After Dinner Mints’ after dinner.... except I forgot to buy ADM’s (I’ve been to ‘The Store’) so we’ll have to find something else.    Pittenweem Road, the one going into Anstruther is being re-surfaced (long overdue) so, temporary traffic lights/Convoy system is in operation.    I came home by the ‘back road’.


23.00    ‘JB’ arrived about 17.30 after an uneventful journey with the only rainy period being on the Biggar road.     Although it has been overcast and dull most of the day here,  the rain sort of faded away by lunch time, and it has been dry and warm since.... a better description would be ‘muggy’.  

‘JB’ and I had a walk to the beach after dinner.... it was dull but there was a bonnie ‘light’ about;  you could see the dark ‘heavy rain clouds’ way down towards the Borders.    We didn’t have the beach to ourselves; there were a couple of dog walkers, someone having an evening swim, and a couple walking hand in hand.... I liked that, in fact I felt quite envious.

‘JB’ and I are going to Kirkcaldy tomorrow morning, then along to Ardross in the afternoon to buy some ready meals.   I’ll go for the paper first thing then put the bike on charge.   ‘JB’ can use ‘Grannie’s bike, and we’ll have a bumble through Elie Estate sometime.

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
