Bonnie sunrise time sky....

12th January 2022 (Wednesday)     09.00 ....it’s breezy, but not very


cold....well; not as cold as you’d expect at this time of year.    I went to the beach to catch the sunrise;  that event was never going to be visible due to low cloud ... but there was an interesting sky, which has been well recorded.

I am having a cuppa before heading for St Minnins and the ‘Kirk Stroll’.  I shall moor the car at the harbour and walk up to the Kirk Hall car park, then walk down with the ‘Troops’ and .... have a blether.


15.30    I had an enjoyable morning in St Monans, though I wasn’t able to do the whole ‘stroll’.   The car I ‘moored up’ on the Mid Shore, and managed to walk slowly up to the Kirk Hall, but my breathing was not good.... it was not great weather for me being ‘very active’.   However I enjoyed a chat with the group and managed to, more or less, keep in touch.   At the top (West End) of the West Shore I went down to the harbour while the group went along the Braehead to the Kirk Hall.   On my way o the harbour I met
‘Chippy’ Mathers, (we were in the same class at the Waid) who I hadn’t seen for a few

The kirk walking group.
years, so we caught up with each others ‘news’.  The harbour was quiet, long gone are the days when St Monans harbour was a hive of activity.  I photographed my way along the Mid Shore, louped intae the car and was back in ‘Ivy’ by 11.20.... well ready for a cuppa, and to browse the photographs I have taken today.




21.00    We had a cracker of a sunset sky tonight; hopefully we can look forward to a bonnie day tomorrow.   I still have a lot of photos to check through, but I’m in no hurry to do that....they can keep for a rainy day. 

The next ‘Kirk walk’ is in Elie on Friday, starting at 10.00.  I don’t know if I should go on the actual ‘walk’, ‘cos wherever I go I see photographs that I want to ‘snap’.   I’ll go along for the start and find out the route, so that I can ‘ambush’ the walkers from the front at some point;  which is what I did today.   I did enjoy myself today, and was


surprised at how far I was able to hirple.  The  knee is sore all the time, but I can get from A to B, albeit slowly, and with a lot of short stops:  it was the breathing that held me back.   I am happy, but sore tonight.

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
