Quiet and peaceful .....

29th September 2021 (Wednesday)    07.00 ...I was ‘up’ (05.30) and rarin'


to go for sunrise.... unfortunately there is a bank of low cloud so sunrise won’t be visible at sunrise time (07.14).    I’ll have another cuppa.... then catch the sun coming up from behind the low cloud.   It looks like being a bonnie day.... with only a light breeze, though it will freshen later.  

10.00    Although sunrise wasn’t visible we had a bonnie sky when the sun eventually started to break through the low cloud;   when I did the ‘villages tour’.    I had intended going further ,but decided to do that later in the day once the temperature had risen..... there’s a chilly air just now.

The villages were quiet;  I chatted to Stuart when down at the harbour.... he couldn’t stop long as he had to go home to get Lorraine’s breakfast organised;  he spoils that girl.   All was quiet around the villages;  I saw swimmers (heads) off the Breakwater,  a lady walking her dogs at Boat Wynd, and ‘Breadwinner’  (Captain Latto) at his creels off Chapel Green.    I enjoyed my morning.... but still have to go for the paper.


16.00    I had a very relaxing bike up to Kinneuchar on what has been a beautiful afternoon.    The plan was to go to Balcarres but I got sidetracked and used up too much battery.   I don’t think I’ll be going to Balcarres tomorrow;  unless it’s in the car.... the weather forecast is ‘light rain in the morning,.... the afternoon  brighter but windier’



19.00    It is cold this evening;  it was warm sitting in The Hutte doing a Soduko, but as soon as I stepped outside ... brrrr... it felt November-ish.    That said.... I have had a good ‘play day’;  tomorrow I’ll be doing computer stuff in the morning...... and in the afternoon if it’s as windy as is forecast.    I must remember to go for the paper(s) tomorrow;  if there’s a braw ‘light’ about I get sidetracked.

21.30    I’ve been watching people ‘prospecting’ for gold in the Australian outback ;  this


reminded me of when Jimmy bought a metal detector at a Car Boot sale, and we went detecting on the beach.   All we found was a lot of nails (which we put in a bin) and a two pence coin..... and.... I had a stiff arm for two days, I was the one swinging the detector.   This thing was a like an ex-army WWII mine detector.... heavy.

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
