Bonnie frosty morning ....

5th March 2022 (Saturday)      07.00 .... we have beautiful, frosty morning;  it’s


going to be a bonnie day.... I don’t know if it will be a drying day, but I have a washing going thought the machine in the hope that it will be.  Hmmmmm ...I imagine there will be icy patches on the road, so I won’t take the bike out until the temperature is well above freezing;  probably mid morning.

08.30   When I wandered down to the beach for sunrise, the frost was starting to lift and it was pleasantly warm;   and we had one of those peaceful Elie and Earlsferry sunrises.. the start of a bonnie day.    My washing is on the line, but there’s only a light breeze so it will take all day to dry.... but I’m happy with that.   It’s a good day for doing the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors, in the early afternoon, when the temperature should be at its highest.... and after I have been out on the bike.


19.30    ‘The Boy’ is tired tonight.... after an enjoyable and busy day.   I( actually have a mix of play and work.... more play than work I might add.    I’ve been to the beach twice and out on the bike.    I did a washing.... and washed the bathroom, kitchen and lobby floors.   It has been a perfect day for doing all of those things;  especially the play.   I think I might have a touch of the sun;  I didn’t use the sun cream.

The villages are busy;  I’m wondering of this is some kind of holiday.   The mooring chains were being sorted at the harbour;  that’s a sure sign that Spring has sprung!    With the tide being out loads of folk were out walking on a big beach, on what was a cracker o’ a day.

I biked up to Harbour House in the morning to get a mug of coffee.... spoke to Laura and caught up with her news; I then went to the seats overlooking the harbour.  Three of the seats were occupied when I got there;  that was when I realised the villages were busy.   While sitting  enjoying my coffee.... and a goodie that I’d bought, I noticed  activity at the harbour, so louped on the bike to take a few photos.    I spoke to Mr ‘B’ for


a few minutes then louped on the bike again and made my way home by way of Elie Estate.  And that is why I am a tired bunny.   Oh and I printed off Myra’s reading for the kirk service tomorrow.    As far as I can make out the service is in the kirk hall.... with tea/ coffee.    I might just drop in, if I’m up that way on the bike at the right time (the weather forecast is good for tomorrow).   I’m not sure what the right time is actually.... but that’s easy enough to find out.

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
