Romantic morning ....

27th April 2022 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... I had an early morning walk to the

Wedding marquee.

beach, on what is a pleasant, but slightly cloudy morning.   There’s only a light breeze so it isn’t as cold as it has been of late;  but I won’t dig out the sun cream yet.  The beach was busy for that time of morning;  with dog walkers on a huge beach.   The tide was full out.

We have a ‘Royal Burgh’ wedding this weekend;  the marquee is being set up, and I am already in a state o’ excitement, with something new to photograph.   I hope the weather is fine.

17.00    Being ‘confined’ to the house for most of the day is frustrating’ (especially on a bonnie day like today);  but I manage to fine ‘ousework to do (not much) in between doing Soduko’s in the Hutte and research on the computer.   Oh.... and doing breathing exercises (4 times daily) .... and falling asleep in various places.   I’ve been checking the weather forecast for the next few days;  the wind direction is due to change to Westerly on Monday.


We (The Team) are going out for lunch tomorrow (the ‘Rockies’) so I’ll do a ‘test’ this evening.   Having had all the jabs I don’t suppose it’s really necessary, but I’ll do one anyway.

21.30    I did a COVID test and it is ‘clear’... as I expected it to be, so I am fine for tomorrow:  blood test at the surgery (09.20) then ‘play’ until lunch time.   The forecast is good for tomorrow (more of the same) with high pressure over us (1027 on my barometer) so we should have a dry easterly breeze.... a cool dry Easterly breeze I should say.   I’ll take a walk to the beach first thing.

Other than the surgery and ‘The Rockies’ I have no ‘plan’.  I’ll hang around Ivy during the best part of the day.... when the pollen is worst;  then I might go out on the bike, depending on how cold it is, in the early evening.   Biking in a dry easterly breeze is not good for my (wrinkle free) delicate skin.

I’m going to make the chocolate, then look for something to watch on the tele; hopefully


 an interesting documentary.

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
