Peaceful .....

16th January 2022 (Sunday)    09.30 .... I’ve had my morning stroll to the


beach;  it was relaxing just strolling along the water’s edge, wee wavelets flopping onto the sand and a Redshank giving me a round of Redshank guns for disturbing it.   Sunrise was never going to happen.... well not visibly anyway due to low cloud; but it will be a bonnie day once the sun rises above the cloudbank.  





12.00    I remembered to join the online kirk service... er.. slightly late because I forgot it began at 10.30.   This ‘going to the kirk’ ‘online, is actually a good way of doing it... for me.   I can bumble ‘in’ when I remember, don’t have to be ‘togged up’.... and can sing to my heart’s content because nobody can hear me.    Today I got caught out at the end, when I usually ‘Leave’ before joining a ‘room’;  today I ended up in Room 3, with microphone ‘muted’, and speaking to folk that couldn’t hear me.   I enjoyed it when I finally got organised.

The ‘plan’ is to go for a short walk later in the afternoon;  right now  ‘Puku’ is hungry, so I am off to organise lunch.


15.00     Lunch (sausages and mash) had an adverse effect on my activity;   I fell asleep in the chair.   I’m going to have a cuppa before going for a short daunder to ‘somewhere’.... not sure if it will be the beach or the Pony field.   If it’s too cold it will be another cuppa. 

17.30    Though cold, it wasn’t cold enough to have another cuppa;  so I went to the beach.... where I found a fair number of people enjoying the late afternoon sunshine.   There was a bonnie ‘light’ about so got a few photos to ‘play’ with this evening... if I don’t find something to watch on the tele.

20.30    An interesting vessel went up to Leith today .... the ‘Shinkai’.    She is listed as a Houseboat.... and is one cracker of a houseboat.    I must keep an eye out for her leaving Leith.

Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day.... ‘bright and sunny with a light wind’.   

Jet trail in front of the Moon.

The Kinneuchar walk is at 10.00 tomorrow morning;  I’ll go up to Kinneuchar but whether I go for the walk depends on how cold it is.   Cold air and pollution are my asthma triggers.    I’ll manage to bumble along the Main Street.

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
