Quiet morrrrrrrrrrrrrning .....

24th January 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... Anticipating a good drying day I


have a washing going through the machine;  the Eastern sky is starting to lighten, I am on my second cup o’ tea, and there’s a light ‘drying breeze’.   Sunrise might not be visible due to low cloud, but I will have a walk to the seat on the beach, and ponder. 

11.30    It was quiet of the beach.... and warm for the time of year.   Carol was out for her morning walk;  she was saying that, “if it gets much warmer she will have to dig out her shorts”.   Maybe that wasn’t ‘iggzactly’ what she said, but she did comment on it being warm.

Things are happening at Ferry Road;   Ferry Road is being used as a vehicle park, with the actual works happening at  ‘the crossroads’.... the junction with the High Street.   Must go out with the camera in the afternoon.


21.00    I’ve had a funny old day;  couldn’t seem to ‘get into gear’.   Oh I did things but I wasn’t ‘fired up’.   Mind you, I went out with the camera and enjoyed a daunder up to the ‘Pony Field;  there was a mix of clouds a sunny bits when meant an interesting ‘light’.   By the time I was back in Ivy I was well ‘fired up’.    Since then I have prepared the tautties and vegetables for a session in the kitchen (tomorrow) making chicken casserole ready meals, for the freezer.

I was talking to one of the workmen and he was telling me that the preparatory work has been done, and that it will be noisier tomorrow... when the real work begins.   I’m going to take the car to Elie tomorrow;  I’ve got to drive the two way Ferry High Street and Links Place at least once.   We (Maggie and me) did it before it was made one way, so, it has to be done this week,  for ‘old time sake’ this week. 

This evening I was ordering stuff from Amazon (hand-warmers) and ended up with three


boxes in the ‘Basket’ where I wanted only one.   I eventually managed to cancel two of them, and have one box of hand-warmers arriving on Sunday or Monday.   That was a stressful half hour.

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
