Twinkling stars ....

 13th November 2021 (Saturday)   06.30 ....The stars can be seen, twinkling


bright this morning, with Orion low in the Western sky:  if the sky is bright tonight I will change the camera settings, and have a go at taking some star shots from the garden.    The fact that I can see the stars, for the first time in many mornings, means we’re going to have a bonnie day;  the thought of  a bonnie day, makes me want to loup around like a Spring lamb.     

10.00    It  is a beautiful morning, and I have been for the paper;  this was Day 7 of my ‘pick up the paper for a whole week’ challenge.      I suppose I could slip back into my wayward ways again, but.... the days are shorter and I have more time to read the paper; and I’m liking being organised.

I met, and chatted to a lady at the harbour;  like me she enjoys the early morning.... especially on  mornings such as this.   Actually I saw a number of folk out with dogs, enjoying the early morning air:  a sunny morning makes us all feel brighter and better.







19.30    We’ve had a beautiful day;   I went out at sunrise and sunset.... and, because it was a good drying day, I did the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors;   I had a good mix of play and work.   I went to Chapel Green to catch the sunset over Largo Bay;  it was one of those balmy evenings, and lot of folk were out enjoying it;  I was surprised at the number people I met.   There was one board walker on the Trinq;  it was that kind of afternoon.   I kinda wish I’d gone out earlier, but I had ‘50’ in front of the tele.    I used to moan about repeats on the tele, now I have to watch a Midsomer Murders three times to see it once, so I am glad we have repeats now:  Changed days.   

21.00    ‘Thick cloud with a gentle breeze’ is tomorrow’s weather forecast for KY9;   I was looking forward to sunny spells.   I suppose, we’ve actually been lucky with the kind


of weather we’ve had .... having had a number of days like today;  and they are a bonus at this time of year.   I have nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but rain isn’t mentioned so I might go out on the bike.....it’s going to be warm again (for November).

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
