Cool onshore breeze ....

5th June 2022 (Sunday)    06.30.... There is a lot of cloud  blown in from the


North Sea, on an F3 North easterly breeze, so it’s cool.    Hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud, and leave us with a bonnie day.   The ‘plan’ was to go out early on the bike but that might be foolish;  I’ll wait until the temperature rises, though it’s never going to be high with the onshore breeze.   Must go ...slight flap on;  I'm 'ungry.   Fingers crossed ....  I'm feeling brighter this morning I might be shaking off the cold I've had for the past couple of days.

09.00   The paper has been uplifted, and the harbour visited.... and I came home by way of Kinneuchar.   The sun has burnt off a lot of cloud giving us more ‘bloo’ bits .... and therefore more sunny spells.   Orf to have an early ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’.


22.30    The ‘Boy’ (that’s me) is tired after a busy day.    I made myself a picnic lunch and went up to Chapel Green (at midday) to have lunch on Maggie’s seat, then met Barbara out on her pony.   Back at Ivy I had a shower then made myself ready for ‘work’...  at the at the History Society Exhibition.    As with all the History Society Exhibitions a lot of behind scenes research (and physical work) went into producing what was another very interesting exhibition.   It’s surprising just how much fascinating history has been accumulated by Elie and Earlsferry already.   I enjoyed ‘working’ (I opened the celebratory tin of chocolates after the exhibition closed).  

The villages have been busy over the Jubilee Holiday;  I had great plans to enjoy every


day out with the camera, but the bug I had, plus the cold East wind prevented that.   Nevertheless I have enjoyed the celebrations, though not as I would have liked.    Things will seem ‘dull’ now that the Jubilee celebrations are over.

It’s back to normal tomorrow; and I have a plan:  I intend going up to Beaufort Cottage to have ‘morrrrrning’ coffee, with Heather, Ray and Alistair.    And I am not going to allow myself to be diverted from that ‘plan’.

Well ... I am well ready for bed tonight.   It’s a time for a mug o’ chocolate then  off to bed to read a bit of my book.

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
