Peaceful morrrrning .....

30th January 2022 (Sunday)    10.30 ....The IPSUM Team are finishing of the


Ferry Corner roadworks this morning, so everything will be back to normal today.   It’s a bonnie day.... after a glorious sunrise, albeit a ‘red sky in the mornin’ one.   It was really calm and peaceful on the beach at sunrise time;  however that is forecast to change later, when Storm Corrie moves across us.  It’s morrrrning coffee time.




15.30    I ‘went’ to the kirk (online);  it’s not the same as meeting in the actual kirk, but online suits me.   I can have coffee/tea during the service... and have a ‘comfort break’ .... well in comfort.    I enjoyed the Sermon today;  bringing the natural world into the service is a brilliant idea.... and whales are fascinating animals.   The fact that we are studying them now, after bringing most of the species to the brink extinction, shows that there is ‘Hope’ for Mother Earth after all.  Of course there is always the problem of human greed:  when the whale population has recovered, there will be people who think it’s time to restart commercial whaling operations again.   Sad.   Anyway I enjoyed today’s sermon.


I made venison pie for lunch;  and ....when I woke up (I was watching something on the tele) I noticed that it has been raining, the wind is freshening, and the sky is looking ominous towards the Northwest.  The Ivy hatches have been battened and I shall ‘put the kettle on’ and settle down in front of the tele again.   We are on the southern edge of Storm Corrie;  hopefully we will miss the worst of it.



18.30    It’s a dreich kind of evening, with wind and rain.  The wind is freshening but is forecast to moderate by tomorrow morning.  I’m glad of that because I am going to Cupar tomorrow afternoon.

The Ferry Road sewer repair has been finished and the patch resurfaced; however, I noticed that the two way traffic system is still in operation, with Ferry Road ‘Closed’ to traffic top and bottom.   (Well.... it was until someone shifted the cones).    I suppose, legally the two way system is still operational, until 16.00 on the 31st, according to the


letter we got.  It’s a different company that responsible for setting up the cones etc.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on;  must find something to eat.   Puku is feeling neglected.

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
