Bright and breezy ... the weather is fine too

18th March 2022 (Friday)    08.00 .... we have a bright and breezy morning...


and I’m feeling bright and breezy too.    It’s cool just now and there’s some cloud around, but we have the start of a bonnie day;  in fact this is the first of  a few bonnie days if the forecasters are right.   This should be a good biking day once the air heats up a bit; that said, tomorrow looks like being the best of this spell of early Spring days.  

10.00   Today is a ‘play day’ ... with a wee bit o’ work in the garden in the afternoon.    I’ve been for the paper (in the car), had a ‘nearly full English breakfast’.... I’m now going to have a cuppa then get the bike out to go and explore somewhere. 

22.00    It has been a lovely day ... and this boy did enjoy it.   As planned I went out on the bike twice, the first time as far as Robin Gray’s cottage.   Mind you I did a bit of exploring before I got to Robin Gray’s;  I didn’t go any further because the bike battery was only showing three bars, I went off road and used a lot of power.   I pottered around Kinneuchar and Kinneuchar Castle.  When I got back to Ivy I put the bike on charge before having a late lunch.


The breeze we’d had all day dropped away and we ended up with a balmy evening, so I went round the villages jut to soak in the atmosphere.... just like our visitors do.    I could enjoy being a visitor in Elie and Earlsferry;  but it’s better living here.   It’s great living in Earlsferry now that it is a community; there’s always someone around to pass the time of day with.

I suppose with having been a ‘play day’, tomorrow will have to be a ‘work day’.   Of course I’ll take ‘time out’ for a bit of exercise;  up to ‘arbour ‘ouse to buy a morrrrrrrrning coffee, to be enjoyed on a seat overlooking the ‘arbour.   Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day, but there will be a cool breeze off the sea.  

I am a tired boy tonight;  floundering around ‘off road’ can be hard work, but I managed



to get to where I wanted to be, however the last 50 metres was a muddy.   I now have a bike that needs .... er ... cleaned.   Hey that could be tomorrow’s ‘work’;  I’d enjoy cleaning the bike.

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
