Cool on the beach ......

13th January 2022 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The south eastern sky is starting to


look interesting, so, (after another cuppa) I’ll have a wander to the beach.  There is a light breeze, but the air it isn’t cold... not as cold as you’d expect at this time of year.   It’s colder in sunny Sussex.

10.30   I’ve been for my sunrise time stroll on what has the look of being a beautiful Day.   There is a brisk breeze blowin’ down there so it is not warm, but it’s good to just enjoy the peaceful mood on such a morning.    I thought I’d been joined by a couple of dog walkers, but then saw that it was a couple of the ‘Blue Tits’ swimmers going in for their morning dip.   I wandered along the beach a bit waiting for the sun to appear above the Lammermuirs;  which it duly did.   It’s funny how we talk of the sun ‘rising’, as if it was it that was moving, when it is actually us that birls round to meet it.   I wonder if there is ‘life’ on other planets going round other stars?   I hope there is, because, unless human greed is brought under control, we seem hell bent on destroying our one.   Must go .... ‘slight flap’ on;  I’m thinking of taking a stroll up to Chapel Green now that the sun is up.


12.30    I did stroll up to Chapel Green but it was hard work walking into the wind;  and the wind is much colder than it was.   I came home by way of the bents, where I met a bloke, from ‘Coast and Countryside’, sorting out the path where the Ivy used to be.    That has been my exercise for today;  the sun has disappeared, so, after lunch I shall settle down to watch something on the tele. 





17.30    I had a short walk to the beach at sunset time.... and was rewarded with a beautiful, late afternoon ‘light’.   The sunset itself was bonnie but not brilliant: however, I met Barbara, out for her evening walk, and the sun just couldn’t compete.   The beach was fairly busy.

21.30    I’ve been watching Professor Alice Roberts on the tele.... ‘Dig for Britain’, an


archaeological programme from various sites around Britain:  and I didn’t fall asleep.  

Tomorrow’s weather looks like being a rerun of today’s .... light cloud with a moderate breeze, and the chance of sunny spells’.   I am not going to do the walk tomorrow, though I will go up to get a few photos of the group, and, once I know the route I might ‘ambush’ them somewhere along it.   It’s going to be breezy and cold.

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
