Gorgeous looking mirrah this morrrning ....

1st April 2022 (Friday)   08.00 .... Welllll April has started with  a cracker o’ a


mornin’;  there is a touch of frost, and a light breeze off the Northwest... and it is supposed to be decreasing (though it disnae feel like it) so I’ll get the bike out later in the mornin’:   I'm hoping for 'fairly quiet' around the middle of the day.

10.00    I have solved the increase in the central heating costs.  My heating controls are a set of ‘buttons’ that I can move around the house.... all I’ve done is put them on top of a radiator.   It’s brilliant.... Ivy is warm in ‘nae time’.   Must ‘go’ “ever so slight flap on”.... it’s nearly coffee time.

20.30    I am absolutely shattered tonight;  after a busy(ish) day.   I went out, on the bike after my morning coffee break, picked up the paper and my prescription from the Chemist.... then down to the harbour.   I photographed my way home in time for lunch... and to catch the postie delivering the Fine Line pens.

I’ve had a funny day;  been feeling ‘one degree under’, though I did manage to do all the


things I wanted done: Except make up Iain’s bed... but I have until Thursday to do that.   I’m travelling up to Iain and Jackie’s for a short ‘oliday.    There’s a vintage tractor Rally and procession that has to photographed.   The ‘procession is from Ellon to Cruden Bay so we’ll find a spot to catch the tractors on the move.

I’ve checked out the pens and they are ‘iggzactly’ what I want.   I didn’t get any drawing done today but should get some done tonight and tomorrow.  


Neil’s (Goodwin) photography exhibition is ‘on’ in the Ferry Hall tomorrow;  it was on this afternoon but I was feeling ‘iffy’.   I’m going to test myself tomorrow morrrning... before I have food, and before I go out anywhere.   I don’t think I have ‘the bug’, but I feel like I might have something.   An early night in bed is called for methinks.   It’s time for the bedtime chocolate and a quick browse through the tele Channels.

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
