Quiet morning .....

1st May 2022 (Sunday)     08.30 .... I haven’t been anywhere this morning


because, although dry, it was dull and damp looking.... but I have been busy backing up photographs.   I suppose I should have washed my face in the May dew first thing .... but it was drab and dull looking at that time.  The sun is starting to break through now so we should have a bonnie day to ‘play’ with.    I’ll go out on the bike after breakfast:  can’t go far ‘cos the battery is half full.... full enough to circumnavigate the villages.

11.00    I spent a relaxing half hour up at Chapel Green (note to me;  take enough kitchen roll to dry a whole seat) where I ended up chatting to Ann...a near neighbour.   It was warm in the sun... but cool when the sun went behind the clouds.

The bike battery is being charged up... the ‘plan’ is to go out in the afternoon; in warm sunshine (I hope).   The Town Hall is doing morrrrrrrning coffee today so I’m going to bumble down there in a wee while.   I meant to go yesterday but ended up ‘playing’ with photographs.


16.30   I enjoyed my ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee tea’ in the Toon Hall;  and it was a popular place to be.   I actually bought a ‘hot dog’ to take home for lunch;  that was a tasty change for me.  I think the last time I had a ‘hot dog’ was when ‘JB’ and I visited the Christmas Fayre in Edinburgh a few years ago.

It has been a nice day.... and a busy one:  in fact the roads were too busy for me  and I didn’t go out on the bike in the afternoon.   Oh well ....I have a fully charged battery for tomorrow morrrrrning.

21.00   This has been a quiet but enjoyable day.   Backing up my photographs was an important job and .... there’s room on the computer for another batch now!   The villages have been busy with folk following the ‘Scarecrow Trail’ round the villages.   Tomorrow


is still a holiday so the villages will be busy again.   I ‘plan’ to go out early to miss the traffic.  The weather should be much the same as todays.

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

 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
