Quiet kind o' mornin' ....

26th January 2021 (Wednesday)     07.30 .... The weather cams don’t look


promising, but I’ll have a walk to the beach, because that sets me up for the day.   There’s something magical about sitting there absorbing Elie and Earlsferry calmness.  

14.30    I’m finding it cauld today, and feel that it should be raining;  we have a blustery wind  but, so far, no rain.   I went to St Monans, but was too late to even consider the walk;  but I had a walk up Narrow Wynd to Braehead, then along Braehead a wee bit and down past the Masonic Lodge to Narrow Wynd and back to the car.    Not long walk but there was plenty fresh air.   I thought I might meet the ‘kirk walkers’ but they must have gone towards the East end of town.   I did meet a group of folk out with their dogs;  I didn’t meet anyone I knew.    I felt auld.

I have a delivery coming this afternoon. The first one of two things I ordered a couple of days ago.   The other one is coming by Royal Mail (today it’s Hermes) and I expect it tomorrow or Friday.    Tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day’.

St Monans.

22.30     We’ve had a strong wind since the middle of the afternoon... and it’s still windy.    I spent the afternoon working the computer;  it has been a restful day.   Tomorrow will be another of the same.... unless I get a delivery time from Royal Mail.    I can check that out right now.   That wisnae much guid (5 minutes later).... they update after they have tried to deliver the parcel;  so I’ll have to stay in until the post has been ... usually about midday: unless it comes by Parcel Force.    I need to go to Elie after 10.00 tomorrow, but I won’t hang around.

Tomorrow is going to be ‘sunny with a moderate breeze’; a good drying day.  I wonder if

St Monans.

I could find, even a half load;   enough to warrant switching on the machine.  

 I think it’s tomorrow that we, Myra, Kirstie Geoff and me, are going to the 19th  for afternoon tea;  Myra will phone and remind me... I hope.

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
