Breezy (F6) ....

31st January 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... Last night’s wind has moderated to a


frisky F6 (Largo Bay), and it looks like we’re going to have a bonnie, slightly cool, day.   I’m going to Cupar in the afternoon; but .... right now, I’m going to begin my day with a daunder to the beach to catch the sunrise.  

10.30    There was a touch of frost in the air when I was on the beach;   I wasn’t cold (‘cos I was like a polar bear wearing a ski suit),..... and we had a lovely sunrise, with interesting clouds and light.   Now I suppose I’d better start thinking of Cupar, ‘cos I’m too late for the Kinneuchar walk.

The IPSUM Team are doing things, with a  ‘drain sooker’ at Ferry Corner;  they should be finish the job today.   Slight ‘flap on’; it’s morrrrrrrrning coffee time, .... before I think of Cupar.   

20.30    The sewer repair at Ferry Corner  is ‘done and dusted’, the cones have been uplifted and the road system is back to normal.   Things are quiet again in ‘The Ferry’.


I had a pleasant trip up to Cupar .... and back.   The Adamson may be half an hour away, but, they don’t mess about up there;  the longest I’ve been in the hospital is five minutes.   I always come home via Ceres;  for two reasons.   The Fudge doughnut factory is on the Ceres Road.... and I think Ceres is a picturesque village.  It seemed pointless buying just one doughnut at the ‘FD’ factory .... so I bought two.   One for me and the other for ‘JB’;  just in case he turns up for a surprise visit.   When I think of it;  ‘JB’ is nearly 500 miles away and fudge doughnuts don’t have a long shelf life!   I will force myself to ‘yield to temptation’, and scoff the second one tomorrow.

I’ve had a non-stop day since I got up at 05.45 and I am now shattered;  so it’s an early night in bed for ‘The Boy’.

Tomorrow’s plan is to go out on the bike;  the forecast is  good apart from one element; 


the wind.   We are in for another windy day, but .... it is going to be warm for this time of year. I’ll get the bike out and take a turn round The Ferry in the morning.

The postie brought a letter from ‘Nextdoor, Elie St Monans and Pittenweem’ today.    It seems to be a good idea, and I would have joined up;  but Earlsferry isn’t on it.   Orf to make the chocolate.   Oh I am a looking forward to pottering around on the bike 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
