Bright, breezy and slightly warmer ....

1st June 2022 (Wednesday)    10.00.... There’s much activity at the harbour this morning;  the first batch of concrete is being poured today.... the second batch in two weeks;  after that we should have a


new sea wall at the Sailing Club.   Oh .... things weren’t as they should have been yesterday morning.... someone tried to break into ‘Nosebag’ and the ticket machine;  they were unsuccessful in both cases and the culprit was ‘captured’ on the security camera.   All is where and how it should be this morrrrrning.

It’s a bonnie day.... and not as cold as it was yesterday;  alas, the wind is from the Easterly direction(not my favourite direction) so we’ll have a few degrees of wind-chill.   I met Irene, Paul and Diggory at the harbour again;  they visited the Falkirk Wheel yesterday and are going to Cambo today   It’s good that visitors are enjoying exploring, in spite of the .... er .... slightly unseasonably cool weather.

19.00   Em and John have had a busy day;  they went to St Andrews in the morrrning, did a wheen o’ work in the garden in the afternoon then had a walk up to ‘arbour ‘ouse.   What they’ve done in the garden is absolutely amazing:  I have to be honest the garden was beginning to depress me;  now I will enjoy it... and to keep it as it now is just by ‘pottering’.   Thanks to their hard work I’ll sleep soundly tonight.    I’ll paint the table for the ‘romantic corner’ (hereafter ‘RC’); something that is well within my capabilities.   Anyway.... "thank you" Em and John for all your hard work;  you could never guess just how happy you have made me.

It has been a brilliant day today .... even the cool easterly breeze was warm.   I didn’t go out, choosing instead to scrape the ‘RC’ table.   Painting it is going to be a problem;  ‘Blob’ being the actual ‘problem.

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
