Lovely, quiet morrrrrrrrning ....

24th March 2022 (Thursday)     08.00 .... A big “Thank You” to everyone


who made my birthday one to remember (even though I’m trying to forget birthdays);  I had a very enjoyable day and feel ‘loved’.... and I love you all. xxx

There’s a bit mair cloud around this morning....but it’s interesting cloud, and has to be photographed, but not until after breakfast.... when the air will be warmer.   It’s actually chilly just now: And I’m hungry... and so is ‘Blob’.

The ‘plan’ for today?..... it’s going to be another rest/play day.... though I will potter about around The Hutte.    I see that the pollution levels are at ‘M’ at last;   any asthmatic living near the East Coast could have told them that.... days ago.   Must ‘go’... slight flap on;   Jean is coming to pick up a key;  I’m orf to comb my hair..... oops... I'm orf to put the kettle ‘on’.


21.00    It’s been another cracker o’ a day;  sunny and ‘hot’;  there was a light breeze that took the edge off hot.  I went up to Chapel Green after Jean came for the key.  Combing my hair was a waste of time;  I was wearing a woollie hat when Jean turned up for the key.  Oh .... I worked with Jean’s Dad on a building site in Glenrothes.

The ‘broon’ bucket, with my clematis in it, is being emptied tomorrow.... which is a surprise.  The ‘broon’ bucket was emptied last week; I didn’t expect it to be emptied for at least another week.   I’m assuming this is because Easter is coming up and they expect to be busy over the Easter period.   Anyway I’ve got rid of the clematis.... so I’m a happy boy.   It spread faster than ivy.... and it’s fast!   

I wanted to discharge the bike battery completely, so took another trip up to Chapel


Green later in the afternoon;  I had planned to go to Lundar Law but someone was already there; so I went and spent a relaxing half hour  on one of the seats overlooking Elie Bay.  On the way home the bike battery went to zero, just as I passed the 19th.... and is now fully charged ready for tomorrow and Saturday.

I have George’s ‘Celebration of Life’ service tomorrow afternoon in the Caledonian Hotel (Leven).   This will be a sad time for me;  George was the best, and craziest, painter friend I ever had:  ye Gods we had some laughs together.   The memories remain to cheer me up.

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
