Crackin' mornin' ....

19th April 2022 (Tuesday)      08.30 ....It’s a magical Elie and Earlsferry


morning;  I’d go out on the bike if I wasn’t going for the booster jab.  (if I went out on the bike I’d promptly forget about the ‘jab’).   The weather  forecast is good for the whole day so I should get out in the afternoon.    I’ll take a few shots of Methil when I’m at the Randolph Wemyss.   Jim and I recorded a number of churches along there but, apart from the docks, I’ve never looked at ‘Methil’ through the lens of the camera.   I’ll see how I feel after the ‘jab’;  might need to find a coffee stop.   In fact I'll take a mug of my own 'Supreme Quality' with me.   The only coffee stop I know in Methil is the Heritage Centre and I don't think it will be 'Open' today.


16.30    I had a good trip to the Randolph Wemyss:  I actually arrived 20 minutes early but being early didn’t make any difference and I was ‘boosted’, and resting in a waiting room for 5 minutes before bumbling my way to the car.... as long as I didn’t drive until 15 minutes after the ‘jab’.   I sat in the car 10 minutes (it took me 5 minutes to get back to the car... so I didn’t drive until 20+ minutes after the jab) drinking my tea, before bumbling down to Sainsbury’s to do a shopping .... and  back in Ivy by 12.30.   I have lunch, sat down to watch something on the tele and ... yep fell asleep.   I’m going to go out on the bike after this update;  probably just ‘roond the villages’.   I’ve had no post jab effects so far.

20.30    Feeling frolicsome I went to Chapel Green on the bike, then up to North Lodge (Elie Estate), through the estate and home by way of The Terrace and South Street.   Oh.... the estate road is off limits for the next three days as they are doing ‘deer management’. 

I have an appointment with Laurie (Nurse) tomorrow followed by the ‘istory Society


coffee morrrrrning at the Pav.  The weather forecast is good for tomorrow but what wind there is, is going to be orf the sea.... so it could be cool on the beach.   Easterly winds dinnae agree with me so I’ll probably potter around Ivy; there’s plenty to do in the garden.... and it’s sheltered from easterly breezes.

Although I don’t feel any after effects of ‘the jab’ I’m going to have an early night in bed.

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
