Autumnal morning ....

3rd November 2021 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... It’s a lovely, autumnal


morning,....  a great morning for doing things.  I’ve been for the paper.... then ended up at the Store instead of the harbour:  I’d realised that sunrise was not going to be visible because of low cloud, (it would appear above said low cloud about half an hour past sunrise time).    Anyway I did a spot of shopping, which has been ‘put away. And I am now ready for breakfast.

There’s a  fresh breeze (will dry the washing) and it’s cool on the lugs, so I’ll go out on the bike once the temperature rises:  Might do a bit of cutting back in the garden until then. 

19.00    It has been another beautiful day.... and I have enjoyed it;   and that includes doing a wee bit in the garden.   I went out on the bike later in the afternoon (to catch the sunset from Chapel Green) and I was not disappointed;  it was one of those colourful and peaceful sunsets.   The first time I went round to Chapel Green (I go out on the Sea Tangle Road) the sun wasn’t lighting up Elie as I wanted so I went back to one of the sunset facing seats and ‘snapped’ happily for  about ten minutes.   On the way back to


Chapel Green I met Andrew and Anne out walking with friends;  friends from South Africa, who regularly look at the Elie and Earlsferry photos page on FB;  we are truly international.   The light was just as I wanted it when I got round the Chapel Green, so I really enjoyed another session of ‘happy snapping’.    Our villages, indeed the whole of the East Neuk is perfect for folk who enjoy beautiful scenery, and taking photo of beautiful scenery.  I have a lot of photographs to ‘play’ with.    

I am one really tired bunny tonight;  I think I overdid things yesterday... and today.    An early night with the book is called for.  

20.00    The weather forecast is good for our area tomorrow;  I ‘plan to go up to  Balcarres in the middle of the day.  I’ll need to go for the paper then charge up the bike when I get back;  that way I have enough battery power to potter around the estate if I


want.   It all depends on how warm it is, because it is going to be colder tomorrow.    Orf to make the chocolate, and see if I can find anything I fancy watching on the tele.

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
