Bonnie morning ....

2nd November 2021 (Tuesday)     06.30 .... there was a brisk breeze, and I


could see the stars as I hung out the washing this morning;  a good start to a bonnie morning.    If we don't get any showers I will be a very happy bunny.     Funnily enough, it isn’t cold even though the sun doesn’t rise for another hour.    I’m having a cuppa before getting the bike out and going for the paper.... then, sometime this morning, I intend taking the old microwave to the re-cycling depot at Pittenweem.

09.30    We had a bonnie sunrise... and had a light shower o’ rain (which I am not happy about);  but it’s generally a nice morning, albeit cool ..... with the chance of a light shower.   The washing stays out;  it’ll dry tomorrow if it disnae dry today.   Stuart was at the harbour;  I think he was thinking on going wind surfin’ but there wisnae any water.  Actually, he’d  found some kit that had been left out and was taking it to the office.    Must go, ‘slight flap on’ got that microwave to take to the skip;  after morning coffee.


20.30     The trip to the recycling depot went perfectly;  I’d say that the 'dump' is better organised no.   The skips have all been  numbered;  all I did was ask the operative "which skip does a microwave go in"... “No 7” he said, and that was the end of the conversation.    Fortunately I had a good conversation in the afternoon.    The afternoon!.... it was absolutely glorious.    I went out on the bike at 14.15 and got back home at 16.30 and I never left ‘The Royal Burgh’.    No... I did leave the ‘Royal Burgh’ .... I went up to the pony field.    The whole day has been brilliant for being out with the camera.... so I have a multitude of photographs to sort out.

The washing ‘nearly dried’,  in spite of having been caught with a couple of light


showers, in the early part of the morning:  I brought in a couple of items to be ironed but the rest is on the line, awaiting a nice drying day tomorrow.   The weather forecast for the next couple of days is ‘good’:   I hope to go up to Balcarres on one of them.... probably Thursday.

I’m off to put the kettle ‘on’ then have a browse through today’s batch of photos.    I did sort out a few for ‘FB’ but I have lot more to look at.   I’m tired tonight after a very enjoyable day.

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

 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
