Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrrning ....

28th March 2022 (Monday)    11.00 .... with the clocks changing (and me


having caught up with the clock change) it is now my ‘season’ for an early morrrrning potter on the beach.   It was really relaxing pottering along the tides edge... even the birds seemed to be enjoying the balmy morning.

Back at Ivy I booked the car in to get a broken spring fixed;   Brian  (mechanic) is picking the car up on Wednesday morning, so I don’t have to go to St Andrews at all.   I’ll get the bike out after ‘morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’ and take a turn round the villages;   then I’ll do a wee bit of ‘work’ in the garden in the afternoon.... doing Soduko’s and feeding/conversing with ‘Blob) in The Hutte.

16.30    Once again we have had a gorgeous day;  I’m likin’ this spell of weather ...even when the haar drifts in from the North Sea.  Haar can make interesting photographs on the way in (or out).... before it obliterates everything.


I had a run to the harbour, where I had morrrrrrrning coffee and a good blether aboard ‘Sundance’, with Steve.   The ‘boys’ were next door, making ‘Defiant’ ready for ‘crane in’;  it is a brilliant day for painting.   When I’d finished at the harbour I came home by way of Elie Estate.... and the estate road was busy.   A couple of ‘young lauds’ were coming out of the estate;  one on some kind of quad bike and the other on a mini motor bike:  I then met three cyclists, and a couple of girls with a pram/ buggy thing.   All of them taking advantage of the lovely weather.

The ‘work’ in the garden never materialized.... but I fed ‘Blob’.   ‘Blob’ woke me up with his whistling.   I sort of heard him and thought “jings, Blob is happy and not far away”.   He was happy;  and where was he?.....he was inside The Hutte, perched on my foot givin’ it laldie.    No wonder he woke me up. 

22.00    I was talking to the ‘postie’ today and he is expecting bad weather on



Wednesday.    On checking the weather forecast, it’s to be colder with sleet or snow showers.    March came in like a lamb.... I hope it isn’t going to go out like a lion.   Tomorrow’s forecast for KY 9 is ‘drizzle with a moderate wind’ (from the East);  not very promising.

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
