Bonnie day ....

20th January 2022 (Thursday)    11.00 .... we have a gorgeous day;  there’s a


few light clouds’ bumbling over on a light Northwest breeze... and it is cool, but a nice day for doing things.    I had my morning walk to the beach first thing;  there was a bonnie sky though nothing like it was yesterday;  and sunrise happened behind a low cloud.    Angela came along the beach, walking her dog, and we chatted for a wee while, enjoying the ambience that is Elie and Earlsferry beach at the beginning of a bonnie day.




17.30    We had a really bright red sky at  sunset, so tomorrow should be a cracker.   I saw the sky from the back door, but didn’t go to the beach because I was watching game of bowls on the tele.  There’s usually loads of people out for a sunset walk so we should see a few photos on FB.

21.30    I set off for Ardross Farm Shop in the afternoon then discovered that I didn’t have my wallet with me, so that mission was abandoned before it had begun.   I stopped at the nearby lay-by  to get a few photos of curlew feeding, in what had been the ‘Sunflower Field’;   there were 23 of them, and they  appeared to be doing alright for ‘grub’.   I’ll go to the Farm Shop sometime tomorrow.


We have the ‘Elie walk’ tomorrow at 10.00.   The weather is going to be ‘bright, sunny and cool’.  I won’t do the walk but will go to Elie for the paper... and the pre walk blether, then make for the seats overlooking the harbour and wait for the walkers to appear from Admiralty Lane;   assuming the walk follows the same route as last week. 

I did a bit of painting to one of the kitchen windows;  they need to be replaced and what I am doing is  making them presentable until such times as they can be replaced (I should be able to do that before I am 90).   I actually enjoyed pottering about with sandpaper and paint;  it brought back a few memories.

I have an appointment to have a blood test  at Cupar(Adamson Hospital) on the 31st;  I


did think of trying to have it done at the surgery but decided that it would be probably more convenient to go to Cupar;  I could visit the Fudge Doughnut factory on the way home.;  and ....the car needs a run now and again.

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
