Breezy ....

11th June 2022 (Saturday)     08.00 .....It’s windy, and we’re going to have


‘strong winds’ all day .... at the moment it’s F6 out in the Firth;  and there’s the chance of short sharp showers.   The History Society is unveiling a  plaque on the boundary wall of the ‘Earlsferry House’ site (the West end of the Ferry High Street) at 11.30 this morning.... the wind will be bothersome, and, hopefully, the showers somewhere else.



14.00    It was a bright and very breezy’ morning for the unveiling of the ‘Earlsferry House’ plaque.... but, thankfully, it didn’t rain.  In spite of the wind a good number of folk came to the unveiling ceremony.   Which Myra and I did with a flourish.   It was hard competing with the wind and occasional car for the speech but Graham managed ‘nae bother’.    I managed my wee bit but I wouldn’t say it was ‘nae bother’.


After the unveiling we went to the Pavilion to have  tea/coffee and sandwiches for lunch;  very enjoyable it was too.   Lunch was followed by a good old natter.   It has been a very enjoyable morning;  I felt relaxed ... happiness had beaten the shadow of COVID. 

It’s still windy so I won’t get out on the bike this afternoon;  I might tackle Chapel green in the afternoon.


20.30    This has been an enjoyable day;  but I didn’t go out on the bike.   In fact tomorrow will be a quiet day....probably scraping the romantic corner table.  I’d best have a look at the forecast for tomorrow before I decide what I’ll be doing!   ‘Sunny intervals and fresh breeze’ is the forecast so scraping the table it will be.   The wind we’ve had all day has moderated a bit and will be normal tomorrow.   Ivy garden is sheltered so it will be warm.... and a fine day for pottering.   I’ll take time out from the pottering to get a legible photo of the plaque that we unveiled today;  the history is


fascinating and it’s thanks to Graham that it has all been uncovered.   If you go into the Elie and Earlsferry History Society website and Search for ‘Earlsferry House’ you can read all about it.   You will be amazed.   I've put  links to both pages below. 

It’s a bonnie evening but still a bit breezy and cool so I’ll stay in and have an early mug o’ chocolate.  I might find something to watch on the tele.

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
