Bright and breezy (so is the weather) ....

27th January 2022 (Thursday)      07.30 .... the wind has moderated, and not


as cold as I thought it would be;  that said it is still windy so this will be a ‘wrap up well’ day.... but we can expect sunshine.  

15.30   The company working on the sewer at Ferry Corner, had to bring in a huge vacuum to do the excavating, as they had come across other pipes and stuff using the mechanical digger.    This ‘oover is one powerful brute;  it sooks up rocks and everything else.   If it had a big enough nozzle, I’m sure it could clear my attic.   Yesterday was a ‘lost day’ as they had to arrange for the “sooper ‘oover” to come and do the job.    The Main Office is in Cheshire, but they have depots in Scotland.   I don’t know where it trundled its way from, but  big progress has been made today.


I’ve been busy, on what is a gorgeous day.   I went to the beach for to catch the sunrise;  then had breakfast before loupin’ into the car and going up to Elie.    I came home by way of Kinneuchar, where I stopped to take a few photos.   In my excitement I forgot about Jean coming to pick up Ann and Bob’s key;  but all was well:  Jean went to another job then came back to The Ferry.   We’re still ‘in love’.

We are going to the 19th this afternoon, at 05.00, so I’d better think about getting ready.   I’ll put the kettle ‘on’.

20.30     We had an enjoyable couple of hours in the 19th Hole for Kirsty’s birthday;  as ever the food was excellent.   I had chicken with some kind of sauce and all the trimmings..... my word it was tasty.    I left a clear plate.    Kirsty and I had ice cream,  and Myra and Geoff coffee.   It was good being ‘normal’ again;  good company, food and ambience.   Loved it.

It was good seeing the 19th busy with folk coming in for a pint after work;  the place was


hummin’.   There was something old fashioned about it.

I’m wondering what to do about the broon bucket being collected tomorrow, because the ‘bucket cairt’ won’t be able to come down Ferry Road.   I’ll think take it down to the High Street.

I've checked the Fife Council Bin site and it's the 'Bloo' bucket tomorrow;  and it is near enough empty.

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
