Bonnie sunrise sky ....

14th December 2021 (Tuesday)     11.03 .... Welll .... what can I say!    I


have taken hundreds of sunrise photographs, but this morning the sky was probably the bonniest ever.   Since I was old enough to know what clouds are, I have been a ‘cloud watcher’.    This morning’s clouds were different shapes, and in the right place to be lit by the rising sun:  it was nature at its bonniest.   I’m an excited, happy boy.   I’m now going to have ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’, then write a few cards before lunch.




18.40     It is really warm out;  warmer than it has been all day.    I might get the bike out tomorrow to deliver cards.... as long as it’s not wet.   It’s the Colinsburgh Lite Bite Lunch tomorrow, and there’s no word of it having to be cancelled;   so lunch is taken care of.   There’s something else I have to remember;  oh aye.... to ‘pick up Lexie’.   Ye Gods;  I’d be ‘hung, drawn and quartered’ if I forgot Lexie.


The migraine (must be high pressure coming in) scuppered my plans for this afternoon (delivering cards), but I’m feeling fine now.   I had a long catnap in the afternoon and woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go out and  play.   I didn’t cos it was cauld at that time.    There’s frisky breeze blowin’.









22.30     I had a quiet evening in front of the tele;  mostly dozing off, but I did see the end of the Midsomer Murders that I was watching..... usually that’s the bit I miss.   Plan to get the bike out and go for the paper early tomorrow morning.

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
