Wall to wall blue sky ....

27th February 2022 (Sunday)      09.00 ..... we have a cracker of a start to

Sunrise over the East Links.

the day.... ‘wall to wall’ blue sky with a brisk breeze orf the SSE;  a beautiful day for doing things.... work and play.   The paper has been picked up, and the harbour visited.    The garden thermometer is showing 4C just now, and should start to rise, now that the sun is higher in the sky; the forecast is for us is ‘sunny with a moderate breeze’.   I plan to go out, on the bike, after my morning coffee break.


11.00    The single bed sheets are on the line, the bottom sections of the front window have been given a ‘quick dicht’ so that I can see oot (and to let light in)... and the bike tyres pumped up.  There’s a rice pudding in the oven and I am finishing orf my coffee before taking a turn out on the bike:  got to be back within an hour and a half...for the rice pudding.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on’ now; it’s ‘playtime’.


15.30    I set off on the bike, planning to go to St Monans;  but...on my way along to Elie I ventured down Fountain Road to The Breakwater, from where I saw a couple of dinghies out in the bay.   I ended up at the harbour (not St Monans harbour), and had a happy half hour taking photos from the pier.   It has been a beautiful day for being on the water.   By the time I finished at the harbour I didn’t have time to go to St Monans, and be back in time to rescue the rice pudding, so I went up to Chapel Green to relax with ‘The Boss’.    This would have been the perfect day to go for a longer bike ride, but I’m looking forward to more days like this (not tomorrow) when I won’t put anything in the oven, so that I can go for longer runs.    

The washing will be dry and ready for ironing by now.   That will be my next mission.   After a cuppa.

19.30    Well... I’ve had a busy day... an enjoyable mix of work and play.  The ironing has been done ....and food consumed;  now I am ready to settle down in front of the tele and search for something interesting to watch.

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
