Quiet morning ....

14th May 2022 (Saturday)   06.00 ....there was a touch of ‘red sky in the


morning at sunrise tine (05.01) but I didn’t go to the beach with the camera.... I was enjoying a cuppa at the time.   It wasn’t a spectacular sunrise.   The plan is to go out on the bike before the traffic gets busy.   Oops.... a car just shot up Ferry Road;  probably trying to get to where they want to be, before early morning cyclists are on the road.  

The sky is starting to brighten and there’s not much wind:  I’ll have another cuppa then get the bike out.

20.30    After a busy (my kind of busy) morning I had a lazy afternoon;   since having a virus I am good for morning activity, but fatigue sets in after lunch and that’s it for the day.   However I feel that I am slowly recovering.   Mind you I was ‘up’ at 04.30 this morning:  I wanted to see how the light was for going out early with the camera.   


Although I enjoyed the bike run up to Kinneuchar just after six o’clock, the ‘light’ wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.  Kinneuchar was quiet.   I came home by way of the ‘paper shop’ then up to Chapel Green.   By the time I got back home the bike battery was flat.... which is what I wanted.   Every so often you have to empty the battery:  anyway it is now full charged ready for tomorrow.    That said.... the wind is going to be from the East... not my favourite wind direction.

I met Jock at the ‘paper shop’ today;  he couldn’t hang around to long for a blether.... he had to hurry back home to get Honor’s breakfast organised.   Jock just loves spoiling Honor.  Then again he might have been going golfing!

I don’t intend getting up at 04.30 tomorrow morning; yes... the roads are quiet but even


at 06.30 the roads are quiet.   I’ll have a lie in tomorrow and get ‘up’ at 06.00.... then bumble up to the ‘paper shop’ about 07.00.   Now that I’m starting to feel ‘better’ I’m thinking of tackling Balcarres on the bike .... sometime soon.   Mind you the nurse did say “don’t overdo it;  rest when you feel fatigued".  I’d best leave Balcarres for another week.

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
