Cracker o' a mornin'.....

4th June 2022 (Saturday)   19.30.... oops.... I forgot to update The Hutte this


morrrrrrrrrning.    Sorry aboot that but it has been a gorgeous day, though there was a cool breeze off the sea..... and I have been pottering around Ivy.   I didn’t go down to the beach but I imagine it would have been busy;  it certainly was a day for the beach.

When I went for the paper, in the car at 07.30, there was hardly any wind....and it was pleasantly warm.  At the harbour everything was where it should be and looking exquisite....picture postcard perfect (that reminds me I need to get some photos onto a ‘stick’) in fact.   I enjoyed taking postcard perfect pictures around Elie harbour. 

Back at Ivy the washing I’d put on was ready to hang out;  in fact I’d better go and bring it in because it has been a perfect drying day.  I’ll do the downie cover to do tomorrow and that will be the ‘troops’ washing done.


I had planned to go up to the ‘istory Society  Exhibition today but I am useless between 11.00 and 17.00 on days like this....when there’s a dry Easterly breeze so the bike has never been out.   I’ll get ‘up’ early tomorrow and ‘do’ the villages before the heat of the day.... and the onshore breeze.    I hope to be fit to ‘work’ at the Exhibition tomorrow.   The virus has certainly changed my routine... and then some.   That said I feel that I am ‘on the mend’... but not as fast as I’d like;  and imagine I'm not the only sufferer that wants tae 'get better' faster.


21.00   The new flowers that ‘M’ and John planted have been watered;  and they’re looking good.   I’ll take a picture once they begin to flourish.   It’s a beautiful evening but the cool breeze stops me from going to the beach.   Before the virus I’d pop down to the beach whenever;  even with an easterly breeze I could go to the beach.   Not now.... but hopefully soon.  I'm thankful that I'm  recovering even slowly;  a lot of folk didn't.

I’m orf to iron today’s washing; then make the chocolate and see if I can find something


to watch on the tele.    What a waste of a good invention the TV is; it’s just a platform for advertising with bits of film in between the adverts.

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
