Bonnie sunrise ....

 

3rd December 2021 (Friday)     09.30 .... it’s a tranquil morning;  even the


building works traffic (of which there’s a lot) seems quieter.   Mind you my hearing is a bit iffy so maybe that’s why it quiet.

I’ve been for the paper and to the harbour.   The harbour area was busy;  I chatted to Carol,  down there for her morning walk, then a ‘bucket cairt’ came down to turn... and it was followed by a car.   It was almost as busy as Ferry Road.  

My ‘plan’ is to check the car tyre pressures, have morning coffee, then go for a run in car.

16.00    I went out after lunch, but changed my mind about going to Gillingshill;  I decided that both Gillingshill and Balcarres Den would be muddy.  Instead I delivered some Christmas cards,.....  and had a blether with Moira, Brian and Morven (my Private Secretary) at ‘Erncroach’.     The plan was to have a walk on the beach when I got home..... but that plan changed after I fell asleep in front of the tele.    When I woke up the sky had clouded over, and  the walk to the beach was abandoned.    I had another cuppa.


19.00     I’ve had a good day;  in fact, at this late stage in the day, I actually feel frolicsome.   I’m going to put up the Christmas card strings after this update.   Oh that reminds me:  today I had a card handed in, from the Earlsferry Thistle Ladies, and I thought “that looks really braw”.   Then I realised that it was the photo that the ‘girls’ had asked my permission to use  ....‘for something’.   I’m really pleased with the way it has turned out.   Thank you Earlsferry Ladies for the card.... I’m a ‘very happy boy’ tonight.



21.30    Tomorrow is going to be spent writing Christmas cards mostly.... though I will take time out to have some exercise.   ‘Light cloud with a moderate breeze and sunny spells’ is the weather forecast.   And not very warm.

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
