Love is in the air ....

10th March 2022 (Thursday)     07.00....Hmmmmm... we have a grey


morning;  one of those morning’s when you rely on smiling people brightening up the day.   That said it’s not cold, so I’ll bike up to Elie for the paper as I’m feeling fairly frisky.   Oops;   I sneezed just now .... hope that’s not a bad sign.  

10.00 I’ve been for the paper and did the ‘roond the villages tour’;  all is well and looking good at Elie and Earlsferry.   I’d have gone through the estate but the bike battery was low;  it’s now being charged up for a sortie out in the afternoon.    Oh .... nearly forgot;  I have sneezed twice this morrrrrrrning.   Mind you I’m feeling frisky ... but I will stay away from the ‘Hope Cafe’ this afternoon.... just in case.   I’ll test myself tonight:  it’s ‘play time’ just now.


15.00   I’m having a cuppa before going for a turn out on the bike;  I might not go too far as the sky sometimes looks like it could give us a shower.  Oh....on my way round Chapel green I noticed that the slab for Jim’s memorial seat has been put in;  we should get the seat in a few days.  Jim’s seat is near the gateway to the Dome Park.... and Lundar Law.... a perfect place for me mooring up the bike and having another coffee stop.





20.30    My head has kept well below the parapet today... I didn’t go out in the afternoon at all.   Dod phoned and I caught up with his news;  he too is staying low, to avoid catching the bug.    Michael and Janice (Sussex) say it was just like having a heavy cold..   I haven’t sneezed again today, but I am awfie sleepy!   I  feel fine but I’ll test myself tomorrow.

Spring is well underway now;  I saw three pair of Mallard on the harbour beach this


morning....‘Blob’ is seriously ‘in love’.... and the daffodils at Chapel Green are starting to bloom.   I have yet to see a Bumble bee son the flowering currant;  this is definitely odd.  

Tomorrow will be a computer day according to the weather forecast;  which is ‘strong winds and rain’ off the southeast.   There will be no ‘roond the villages’ on 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
