Lovely morning ....

28th September 2021 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... although breezy and cool, the


‘paper run’ was enjoyable this morning.   I went to Kinneuchar then came home by way of Elie Estate and a tour of the villages:  Everywhere seemed to be quieter than of late;  then again, it was a holiday weekend, and the roads were extra busy then.

We had a bonnie ‘light’ this morning and I think I got a few bonnie photos of Kinneuchar;  I’ll check today’s batch,  after I have breakfast.


15.00    We’ve had some light rain for the past couple of hours.... but the sky looks like it’s beginning to break up already.... we might have a lovely evening.    Tomorrow looks like being the ‘good day’ this week;  so the bike being charged up as I type.  Jings;   no wonder I am tired.... typing and charging up the bike battery.... two things going at the same time!.... I need a cuppa.


21.30   When the sky brightened up at sunset time I ventured down to the beach;  the heavy rain clouds had moved away to the East, leaving us with a batch of bonnie clouds needing to be photographed.    Luckily I had the camera with me.   There was a few other folk enjoying a walk on the beach, on what was a ‘romantic’ kind of evening.

‘Sunny with a moderate breeze’ is the weather for us tomorrow so I will be up and out early.... and intend going out again in the afternoon.    Tomorrow is going to be a ‘play day’.   I’ve had a busy day today;  out on the bike in the morning, had a surprise visit from Lexie, (she must have heard about my coffee making skills ‘cos she turned down my offer of a cuppa);  we chatted about Chris’s funeral at Perth yesterday, which we didn’t manage  go to.... then I took Lexie to Elie, in the car, to get bread.   I was loaded with ‘secrets’ but I’ve forgotten them all.

If I was a European HGV driver, it would take an awful lot of money to get me to come to


the UK on a three month visa.   This wasn’t how ‘Utopia’ was going to be after Brexit.   Orf to make the chocolate;  oh dear... I hope the panic buyers don’t start ‘panic buying’ chocolate!

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
