Feeling frisky ....

17th May 2022 (Tuesday)    07.00.... we have a fairly thick fog that has drifted


in from the North sea this morning,  but the sun is trying to burn it back... and it looks like it could be successful.   In fact I am considering biking along to the ‘paper shop’

10.00   We have a cracker o’ a mornin’.... and I have been for the paper and ‘roond the villages’ on the bike:  in fact I intend going out on the bike after morrrrrrrning coffee;  it’s a ‘play day’.   I got a load of fog photographs this morning, but I’ve only sorted out a few of them;  I want to take advantage of the kind of day it is so there will be a lot more to sort in the afternoon.    Must ‘go’... ever so slight ‘flap on’.

18.30    The sky changed so I didn’t go out again;  but I eventually sorted out all the photos I took this morning.   Although I say the sky changed it was a bonnie day for being out, it was the mist that evaporated a little too quickly for me.  Instead of going out I did some more research on the computer, then fell asleep as per normal nowadays, ....


oh and did my first ever ‘Extreme’ Soduko (Daily Telegraph book).    They are hard blighters and I am really pleased.   I have had a happy day; although shaking off the virus is taking longer than I thought....however, if sleep is the way to shake it orf it shouldn’t take too long;  I rest well enough after lunch!





21.00   Jings...I’ve been busy on the phone this evening;  I’ll need to get myself a Secretary.   Emily and John are coming for a couple of nights on 30th May so I’m looking forward to that.... and I had a phone call from Alice who has been for a break up in Aberdeenshire;  and ended up visiting various castles including Crathes Castle.   We lived on the Crathes estate for four years.... and I went Crathes School.  It’s a small world.

I see that rain is forecast for us overnight but tomorrow should be fine;  and the wind


(fresh) should be from the Westerly direction.   I need to go to Kinneuchar either tomorrow or Thursday.... to have another look at the old kirk wall.

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
