Breezy .....

12th May 2022 (Thursday)    07.00 ....I did see patches of blue in the sky, but

Stella and Alex - stonemasons.

the forecast is for KY9 to be cloudy all day and cooler;  having said that the ‘bloo’ patches are encouraging and sunny spells could drift over now and again.   I’ll bike up to Chapel Green later in the morning, dropping in to see Heather and Alistair on the way.   I’m thinking of going to Leven to do a wee bit shopping;  I like Somerset honey and ‘The Store’ doesn’t stock it... but Sainsbury’s does.      Must ‘go’ slight flap on now..... I’ve had breakfast etc.... now I need another cuppa before making my mind up whether to go to Leven or not.

10.00    It’s a bonnie day now... and I’ve been to Leven so the remainder of the day is ‘play time’: after I put the messages away.   Shopping is noticeably more costly.... but I got the honey I wanted,.... and my usual shopping.  It was a good time to go shopping as the shop was quiet, so it didn’t take long to bumble round.   I need a cuppa before getting the bike out.


18.30    I so nearly visited Heather for morning coffee;   on the way down from Chapel Green I went down Glovers Wynd, intending to go in via the garden...but I couldn’t get the gate to open so I went back up Glovers Wynd meaning to go in at the top gate;  and that’s where it all went wrong.   I spoke to a visitor for a minute, turned round after our chat, saw the new 'Four Winds’ and  started to take photos of the progress.   And that’s all it takes for me to be diverted;  I took off for Elie Estate, all thoughts of coffee having dropped into some corner of the auld brain.   I enjoyed my trip through Elie Estate and got back to Ivy in time for lunch.   It was now that I remembered my missed ‘morrrrrning coffee’....it was a really nearly ‘nearly’    Sorry aboot that Heather.

I’ve had a lazy afternoon (after a busy morning) and I’ll be in bed early tonight ‘cos I don’t think I have been so tired for a long time.... and that’s after a catnap this afternoon. 

20.30    ‘M’ (New Zealand) is back on Skype after having visitors for the past week;  she

Toll Green - Elie.

sounds happy (I couldn’t see her ‘cos she didn’t have the camera ‘on’).   Colin and Sue (son and partner) are still there so ‘M’ is being ‘waited on’ .... and enjoying the attention.

I see we’ve had a shower o’ rain (I’ve been putting out the green bucket);  I think it should pass over during the night leaving us with a cloudy, dry and very windy day tomorrow.

It's chocolate time.

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
