Beautiful morrrrrrrrrning ....

23rd March 2022 (Wednesday)      09.00 .... We have a lovely morrrrrrrrning


at Elie and Earlsferry;  it is hazy, but that makes for interesting photographs.... and it is warmer;  in fact it could  be ‘hot’ (ish) in the afternoon.   I’ve been for the papers (in the car ‘cos I was short of milk) then down to the harbour.    It was very peaceful and picturesque.   I then came home by way of Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar..... having forgotten about the price of fuel.

At the moment I am having an early morning coffee... and a slice homemade ginger bread, made by my lovely friend Marcia...xx.   It’s my birthday today;  I’m 48 ... or is it 84? 

17.00    Welllllll ....I have really enjoyed my birthday.   Cards, presents... including ‘Emergency Rations’ have been part of my especial day.    “Happy Birthday” was sung at the History Society coffee ‘get thegither’.   The ‘Troops’, (Myra, Kirsty, Geoff) then treated me (the fourth ‘troop’) to lunch at the 19th.    A big “Thank You” to everyone;  you made ‘my’ day very enjoyable.   I love you all;  and I am feeling ‘loved’.   Our next birthday is Geoff’s .... in July.


I had intended going up to Chapel Green on the bike, in the afternoon, but the wind was off the sea, and it was not warm;  there was also a misty haar all around so I put the bike away and will go to Chapel Green tomorrow.  We were forecast to have a warm, verging on hot, afternoon but the onshore breeze took care of that.  Instead of going to Chapel Green I had a cuppa in The Hutte, fed ‘Blob’, had a catnap;  oh .... and watched the Bumble bees are feeding on the flowering currant:  in fact one of them bumbled into The Hutte and had to be rescued.   Today has been a very enjoyable ‘rest day’.

20.30    There was an interesting sky at sunset time so I louped into the car and went to


the harbour:  and I wasn’t disappointed.    The sky was bonnie in a different way... and ominous towards the southeast.    In fact, when I left the harbour spits and spots o’ rain began to hit the windscreen, and the rain was fairly heavy by the time I got back home.   It didn’t last long.

I am absolutely shattered tonight; yesterday’s work session, and the excitement of my birthday today has caught up with me.   Tomorrow is going to be another rest day.  Right now it’s browse the TV channels....and chocolate time

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
