Peaceful morning.....

25th November 2021 (Thursday)   09.30 ....  we have another ‘bright and


sunny’ morning, but the air is chillier;   That said, it’s a lovely day for wrapping up and going out.    I’ve been to the beach to catch the sunrise;  it was bonnie but not one of those spectacular sunrises:  it was a very calm and peaceful start to the day.   I’ve yet to go for the paper but I’m going up after10.00 ‘cos I have a prescription to pick up.




18.00   Early morning was the best part of the day;  the sky clouded over mid morning and there has been a raw wind most of the day.    I had a successful shopping mission to the ‘Store’  (Anstruther) in the morning;   I say successful because I ended up with a lot more than I went for;  yes... the odd goodie found its way into the trolley.    I also remembered to go to the ‘paper shop’,  and to pick up the prescription from the chemist.   ‘The Boy’ was very organised this morning.   


The afternoon was ‘different’.    At one point the wind moderated and I thought about getting the bike out, but decided that it was too cold, so louped into the car and went up to the ‘hole in the wall’ to get some money.   Although I had the camera with me I didn’t go anywhere.... all I wanted was to get back to Ivy and a hot cuppa.    I have a load of this morning’s sunrise photographs to keep me occupied this evening.

The raw wind has freshened, as I found out when I put the ‘green’ bucket out just now: and .... it is not an evening for taking photos of stars.  I shall settle down in front of the tele after I Skype ‘M’ at 19.00.  

20.00    There’s strong winds forecast (Amber warning) for us tomorrow afternoon, and


through until Saturday morning;  as soon as the mechanic picks up the car, I’ll loup on the bike, pick up and pay the papers, then get back to Ivy and settle down for the day;  taking a few ‘sunrise time’ photos on the way.   I’m lovin’ the light and clouds we have at sunrise time just now;  though I do understand that folk can get fed up of the ‘same thing’ every morning;  which is why I’m not putting them on FB just now.   Must go ‘slight flap on’;   got to browse the tele Channels.

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
