Misty morning ....


10th September 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... It’s a misty, quiet and peaceful morrrrrning;   the birds are quiet, and content to just sit around atop rocks:  glowering at me mostly.    I’ve been for the paper and done the ‘tour of the villages, chatted to lots of folk:  Dave, Elizabeth, Graham, and Alan (‘arbour ‘ouse Alan).    Alan told me that Brenda is still as vivacious,  and colourful as ever;  and, that he couldn’t hang around chatting to me, as he had to get home to make Brenda’s breakfast.   Alan spoils that girl.

23.00    ‘JB’ and I have had a very enjoyable day .... and a busy.   After breakfast we went to Sainsbury’s in Leven, then straight to Ardross from Leven.   At Ardross we spoke to the Kirk Team that were in the ‘Field of Hope’ Gazebo, where we decided to visit the ‘Field of Hope’ tomorrow .... because today.... we were on a ‘shopping mission’.   We bought some really tasty looking ready meals....  and a few other vital ‘emergency rations’.   By the time we’d done all that we were well ready for lunch;  and settle down to watch the Tour of Britain in between pottering about doing some light ‘work’.         


 Because it was a gorgeous, sunny and warm afternoon with hardly a breath of wind, we decided to go down to the harbour;   we would have reflections.   And reflections we got;  it was stunning.... especially as there was so much going on.    We had boats leaving the harbour, others coming in and board walker all over the bay;  we even had a lassie water .... not water skiing, but a similar skill on a board.    It was all happening at Elie harbour this afternoon.    There was all this action. a lovely ‘light’ and some bonnie clouds up towards Cupar; it was magical and   I got a few photographs:  261 to be exact.   I ‘dumped’ a few but have well over 200 remaining.   They’ll be braw for a rainy day .... in November.

In the evening we sorted through some of my postcards;  that’s really a winter job but we fancied quiet evening while watching/listening to a concert from the Albert Hall.

Sunny intervals; with a moderate breeze, and the chance of precipitation, is our weather


forecast for tomorrow.    We are going to the ‘Field of Hope’ in the afternoon;   ‘JB’ needs to have a quick trip to Leven, while I have the boiler cupboard to finish off.   We also have to bring out the bikes to make one of them serviceable for ‘JB’.    It looks like being another ‘busy’ 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

 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
