Beautiful sunrise ....

5th November 2021 (Friday)    10.30 .... Jings.... I got that excited, at


the sunrise this morning, that I remembered to go for the paper!     From that you’ll understand that we have a lovely morning at ‘The Centre of the Universe’;   and .... that I have been out on the bike, and had a great time with the camera.    The sky is a wee bit cloudier today but it is also warmer;  it wisnae cauld on the lugs.   I’m going to cut something doon in the garden to celebrate;  after morning coffee.





15.00     I have a lilac tree in the front garden and the annual pruning has been done every year for the past 20 years;  and every year I say to myself ... “Albert my boy, get the Bushman saw out and get rid of this tree... it never floo’ers”.   And every year I change my mind;   why?.... cause ‘Blob’ (and descendants of Blob) use it as a perch.    Guess what.... the non-flowering lilac tree still be there next year.    Anyway it has been pruned.... and the pruning cut into small bits to fit into the Broon bucket.    I’m having a (well earned) cuppa before bumbling up to Chapel Green. 

Elie High Street.

17.00    There was never going to be a visible sunset tonight due to low cloud, but.... the sky was interesting.    And I got a load o’ fresh air as there was a brisk breeze.   I was surprised to see a few folk out on the beach, as it wasn’t very warm.   The dogs were enjoying the walk.





20.00    I heard a few fireworks in the distance;  and that reminded me that I’d intended going up to Chapel Green to take some photos;  oh well there’s always next year.

I see that we are forecast to have ‘strong winds and rain’ tomorrow;   I hope the rain is

Tonight's sunset.

of the shower kind.... and they miss us.   It’s going to be a frisky wind right enough.... F8.    Should make for interesting wave shots;  if it isn’t raining.  If it is windy and wet, tomorrow will be a ‘rest day’.... any work will be of the computer kind.    I’m pleased with what I did in the garden today;  it also means that the ‘broon bucket’ is three quarters full.... and the space remaining is for kitchen rubbish over the next two weeks.  It’s time to make the chocolate, and find something to watch 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
