Bright and breezy .....

20th October 2021 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... we have a lovely, bright and


breezy, morning;   a perfect day for the washing.... and being out in the fresh air.     There’s a lot of fresh air about so it feels slightly cooler than it did, but it’s not cold.    

I’ve remembered that someone is coming to see about a ‘disabled’ (dinnae like that word) parking space.    We locals actually have the parking in Ferry Road working fine;   unfortunately strangers, (and my ‘knee bones’), don’t always co-operate, hence trying to get a space nearer the door.   Whoever comes to see about it, will be someone to talk to; that’s always good.   Orf to have breakfast; “Slight flap on” now.   

10.00    I’m ‘in love’ (this could be the real thing);  with two girls from Fife Council who came and explained parking with a Blue Badge.    I can moor the car on the ‘double yellows’ in the summer time as long as I display the badge, and not causing an obstruction.... which I wouldn’t be moored up at the gate.... so no ‘disabled’ space required.   I enjoyed talking to the girls, .... I’m a happy boy.


22.00    After the new ‘girl friends’ left I went up to Elie (bike) to the Chemist;  there was a queue outside the ‘paper shop’ so I went to the harbour, then home by way of The Terrace.... and forgot the paper ... again.   There was a brisk wind so it wisnae very warm;  not when out in the open anyway.   I was fine when I reached Maggie’s seat.... it’s sheltered by a wall so I sat there and enjoyed the sun.

After lunch (Ardross Cottage Pie) I worked on the computer for a wee while, before turning on the tele and having a catnap.    I’d save electricity, and help to save Mother Earth, if I didn’t bother with the tele!

We had a lovely sunset... always a good sign;  I photographed  the Ferry High Street in


the cosy sunset glow.

The washing dried quickly, in today’s frisky wind;  I’ll do the ironing tomorrow.   What else am I going to do tomorrow?   If it isn’t too windy I’ll go round the estate road tomorrow morning;  the forecast is for our weather to be bright, breezy and colder.

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
