Quiet morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning .....

28th May 2022 (Saturday)    07.00....my goodness .... nae wind this morning;


  I’ll get the bike out.   When I say ‘nae wind’ I mean nothing like we’ve had for the past couple of days;  there is a light breeze from the WNW (F2-3) and that will freshen over the morning but only up to F4 or so.  Another cuppa then a quick turn round the villages (on the bike), pick up the paper .... then work.   Then I'll work until the bike battery is charged up and go out again, in the afternoon.    Happy boy. 

09.00    Well .... I had to have a slight change o’ plan;  because someone forgot to charge up the bike battery I was only able to do Earlsferry.... on what is a beautiful morning for biking.   The battery is being charged now so I should get out again after lunch.  The village was quiet, but I met Keith at Chapel Green out walking the dogs... and saw a few people on the beach.   It’s a grand day for working .... and it’s good to be wanting to do things again.

10.00   You’d hardly believe it;   the wind has veered slightly towards the NNE and we now have a layer of cloud between us and the sun.... so is cooler than it was when I was out earlier.  However, the sun is beginning to burn the cloud off to bring us the sunny spells mentioned in the weather forecast.... and raise the air temperature again.   I’m having ‘morrrrrrrning coffee’ before  doing some more tidying around The Hutte.





20.30    It has been a bonnie day...and with only a light breeze so very pleasant.   I worked in the garden most of the day... actually pottered about in the garden would be a better description.   I’m happy with what I managed to do but it’s frustrating not being able to ... well... ‘work’.   I want to ‘work’, and I’m slowly getting things done again. 

In between short spells of work I sit in The Hutte and read or do a Soduko.   This afternoon I’m sitting with the Soduko book in my hand, when ‘Blob’ flies in and perches on the book.   He is really tame now that he’s feeding young.   I feed him (and wife) crumbles digestive biscuit inside The Hutte;  that way they don’t get bothered by most of the bigger birds.

My muscles are slightly stiff tonight;  I think a hot shower is called for, followed by

The new 'Four Winds'.

bedtime chocolate with a dash of ‘something’ in it.

Tomorrow is going to be much the same as today, though slightly breezier.    The bike battery is fully charged so I hope to get round the villages at some point.   I totally forgot about the Salvation Army Band on the toll green this afternoon.  I still suffer from fatigue in the afternoon and cat-nap in The Hutte.

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
