Lovely, warm morning .....

26th September 2021 (Sunday)     10.30 .... We have another quiet

Peaceful Elie Bay.

morning;  there’s a bit more cloud about.... there are showers around,....  but it is warm;  it was 15c at sunrise time.   I’ve been out for the paper, and actually remembered to get a paper this morning.... before going to the harbour;  where I got excited by the light.  A few photographs were taken ... in fact I ‘took’ a lot of photographs, before making my way to Chapel Green;  stopping at my favourite places on the way.      I am a happy boy, and well ready for breakfast.


18.30    I am one tired boy tonight .... having had a busy day taking photographs, sorting photographs, making ready meals, watching The World Championship Cycling Road Race from Flanders.... I did all that without falling asleep at any point;  finally, I did some lopping of the bush at the back window, so the broon bucket is half full already. ...and ... there’s more light getting through the computer room window.


Being otherwise occupied I haven’t been out on the bike since the paper run this morning;  the battery has been charged and I did contemplate going out earlier, but changed my mind and did the lopping.

The weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning made dismal watching;  heavy rain coming in overnight, and staying with us until mid morning.   Tomorrow afternoon should be brighter;  sunny spells with the chance of showers.


22.30    The spell of good weather we’ve had recently would appear to be coming to an end.    If the weather forecasters have got it right we can expect a cooler spell of weather next week.    I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow .... if it’s wet in the morning I still have half of the photographs I got today to sort out, so that will keep me occupied..... and ... I might get out on the bike in the afternoon.

‘M’ forgot to change her clocks (New Zealand) on Saturday evening and was  working


on ‘M’ time until she went over to play bowls yesterday afternoon and found that  they had started.   She was an hour late.   At the moment New Zealand is 12 hours in front of us;  that will change when we change our clocks on the 7th November.

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
