Sunny spells ....

22nd October 2021 (Friday)     08.30 .... There was a heavy shower o’ rain


when I went for the ‘paper’ early;  fortunately I was in the car, so I decided it was a good shopping day, and went to ‘The Store’.   ‘The Store’ was busy this morning;  and ...  it looked like the ‘panic buyers’ had been in last night as a few of the shelves were empty.   The shelves were being restocked as I bumbled my way round.    I got all the bits and pieces I wanted, and enjoyed  a relaxing drive home.   Everything has been put away in the appropriate cupboards;  and I am ready for breakfast.

It looks like being a nice day.... a sunny spells chance of a shower kind o day.    I hope to get the bike out after breakfast.

Last night I watched a film, ‘Restless Natives’(1985) on Channel 81.... the last scene was shot on the top of Kincraig Cliffs.


19.30    Jings I am one tired bunny tonight;  but I have had long and busy day.... and enjoyed it.    After breakfast I got the bike out and set off to go to Kinneuchar, then through Elie Estate, stop at Geoff’s for coffee,  then home for lunch.    Everything went to plan, until I stopped to talk to someone I met on the estate road.   We must have chatted for half an hour;   she is well up to date with ‘local history’.   Anyway by the time I reached the South Lodge gate it was too late to go to Geoff’s.... and Myra’s car wasn’t there.   I went home by way of The Terrace, Breakwater, The Ferry High Street and Chapel Green;  meeting Elizabeth and Graham out walking, with three of their friends;  girls that had been at Glenwood High School with Elizabeth.    Graham was giving the ‘girls’ a tour of The Royal Burgh, before going to the 19th for lunch.   I wish I’d taken a photo of the them together in Earlsferry (The Royal Burgh of).   I actually went up to the golf course just after14.00, hoping to catch them leaving the 19th....  but I must have missed them.  

I had lunch then downloaded the photographs I had taken.... switched on the tele and fell

The 'Thing'.

fast asleep;  and I’m still tired.   Early to bed for me tonight:  Myra is picking me up at 07.30 to take us to Anstruther for our booster jab(s).    Slight ‘flap on’....  I have a few photographs to sort out.

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
