Peaceful morrrning ....

15th September 2021 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... We have a lovely, if slightly


cloudy, start to the morning.... very quiet and peaceful.   This is an important date in the calendar;  100 days to go until Christmas Day.    I’ve been for the papers and down at the harbour.... now I am ready for breakfast.   ‘JB’ is ‘up and running’ (this is going to be a ‘study’ day for him);  I am ‘up’ .... and feeling frisky actually.   I’ll get the bike out and do a round of the villages later,  and let ‘JB’ get on with his studying.   Em and John are coming along for a cuppa, before they set orf for Somerset;  it looks like being a nice day for travelling.  

21.00    We’ve had a busy day;   Emily and John came along in the morning to have a cuppa,  a walk, and play, on the beach before going back to Kirkcaldy for lunch..... after which they would set off for home (Somerset), stopping to have a break, and a cuppa, with John’s Gran in Cumbria.   They should arrive home about midnight.


‘JB’ and I went to Woodhaven  after lunch, to deposit some glass at the re-cycling depot:  ‘JB’ then went for a walk out to the Lady’s Tower and Elie Ness Lighthouse, while I enjoyed myself pottering around, from seat to seat, at Woodhaven with the camera.   It was a beautiful ‘light’ o there was much ‘clicking’ done.

From Woodhaven we decided to have a run to Upper Largo, then up to Largoward, or a change of scene.... and see if we could find where the access to Largo Law was;  John fancied going up the Law.   The path that Maggie and I used has been closed by the farmer.   We didn’t fund the new access, but did see the notice(s) saying where it ‘Wasn’t’. 

In the afternoon ‘JB’ got Maggie’s bike out5 of the shed, inflated the tyres and generally checked it over;   tomorrow we will do Elie Estate in the morrrrrrrrning.... assuming the weather is OK.   The forecast is ‘good’.... “sunny intervals and a gentle breeze”.

I am tired tonight so should sleep like a log.   Funny thing I’ve noticed lately; horizontal

'JB' at the lighthouse.

is easy and relaxing .... vertical has a much better view, is harder on the knees, but mair enjoyable.   Keep takin’ the pills Alber!   Orf to annoy JB ....  who is trying to study!

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
