It's a 'play day' ....

15th October 2021 (Friday)    10.30 .... My word .... we have a beautiful


autumn day.... wall to wall sunshine, with only a breath of a breeze;  I think this might be a ‘play’ day.    I went to the beach to catch the sunrise;  the sun eventually  appeared, above a bank of low cloud, 15 minutes after sunrise time... and we are now basking in it’s lovely warmness.    I have yet to pick up the paper but I’ll get the car out for that... might even go as far as the harbour.




17.00    Myra and I had ‘morrrning coffee’ (from ‘arbour ouse) on one of the new seats alongside the kirk wall.... basking in warm sunshine, watching the traffic go by;  and there was a lot of traffic, pedestrian and vehicular.  There was so much traffic it was difficult crossing Elie High Street.   I didn’t go to the harbour, but went home then had another walk to the beach.   I’ve been to the beach twice today;  three times if you count the time I went down, fired up the camera, looked through the viewfinder and read ‘No Card’;   I’d left the card attached to the computer.  


The beach was busy.... like a warm summer’s day;  actually it felt like summer, though I noticed that most folk had an extra jacket on.    We had a yacht sailing south towards North Berwick, a couple of board walkers, folk paddling....  and swimming;  and others, like me, relaxing on a seat watching it all happen..   My knee is sair with all this activity.



22.00    I was looking forward to another sunny day tomorrow but apparently it’s going to be cloudier, and colder but, luckily,.... only a light breeze.   I must have jarred my knee sometime today because it is not a happy knee.   I’ll have a quiet day tomorrow.... hopefully manage at least one walk to the beach;  however I’ve got loads to do on the computer so I won’t be bored.

I can’t get over how busy Elie High Street was today;  it’s good to see the villages busy,

Myra - with morrrrrning coffee.

but if the roads are going to be this busy we’ll be needing a proper crossing, on Elie High Street, to access the new seating arrangements with our mugs of coffee etc.   The seats are situated perfectly for ‘people and car watching’.... especially on a day like today.

Must go "slight flap on”.... feeling in need of hot chocolate.

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
