Beautiful mirror oops morrrrrrrrrrning ....

22nd April 2022 (Friday)    09.00 ....I wondered where the haar was this


morning then realised that the wind had backed to the NNE and the haar would be further south.   It’s a nice morning though cool in the brisk wind.   The paper has been uplifted, the harbour checked, the ‘broon bucket’ emptied and I’m feeling ‘almost frightfully frisky’;  all is good at Elie and Earlsferry.  



16.30   In spite of the brisk wind has been a lovely day;  and I have enjoyed it.   It was a bit breezy to go out on the bike so I’ve had a lazy day.... though I might go out in the evening once the streets are quieter.   My asthma (pollen) kicked in about 09.30 so I was confined to Ivy for most of the day:  however the breathing is settling down again, hence the ‘plan’ to (maybe) go out in the evening.  


This morning I had fallen asleep in front of the tele and sort of thought I heard the doorbell.    On answering the door (I must have looked half asleep... in fact more than half) I was pleasantly surprised to find Nicola at the door;  so I had Cullen Skink for lunch courtesy Nicola.   My word it was tasty: “Thank you” Nicola.   (Note to me;  consider combing hair now and again).  

22.00    Well;  this has been a funny day for me..... learning how to ‘manage ‘ my asthma is all new stuff.   Knowing when to stay ‘in’ is the main thing.   Having said that I am getting on with my drawing so I’m happy ‘staying in’....  during the busiest part of the day..... even though it is also the warmest time of day.   

Tomorrow is going to be another nice day;  in fact more or less a repeat of today’s


weather.   I hope to take the bike to go for the paper.... if it isn’t too windy.    My breathing is fine in the early part of the morning.    Must ‘go’ ... ever so slight ‘flap on’;  got chocolate to make.

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
