Peaceful mornin'....

15th June 2022 (Wednesday)     10.00 .... it’s an absolute stunner o’ a mornin’....


and I have been ‘roond the villages’ on the bike.   It should be a  warm day;  we don’t want it as hot as ‘Sunny Sussex’ .... comfortably warm will do.  I’m going along to the ‘Pav’ to the ‘istory Society coffee/tea morning.   I don’t know if I’ll do the Colinsburgh Lite lunch.  I’ll see how I feel: and  I have a table top that needs painting.


19.30    This has been one of the best days we’ve had in a long time;  we could be doing with a decent spell of this weather.    I actually went out on the bike again;  only as far as Chapel green but it was brilliant being out....in warm weather.

I did the ‘istory Society coffee morrrrrning;  that was really enjoyable.   When I got up to leave Graham signed ‘hat chair behind you’;  I knew what he was signing but thought I’d left my hat and scarf in the car.   I eventually got the message... after Carol pointed to my hat;  obviously I hadn’t left it in the car!   I’d been sitting on it.  Actually I must brush up on the sign language.... Maggie and I used it.    Anyway I have my hat.

East End - Colinsburgh.

Back at Ivy I gave the top of the table a coat then went up to Colinsburgh for the Lite Bite lunch:  only to find it isn’t on until next week.   I took a few photos of Colinsburgh Main Street then bumbled my way home got the bike out and did Chapel Green.

By this time I was starting to feel peckish and made a couple of sandwiches for lunch.   The doorbell rang just as I began my lite bite lunch;   it was Shona.   I made another mug o’ coffee and we went out to The Hutte and had a ‘lite bite’ sandwich lunch.    We spent the afternoon catching up with each other’s news.

The ‘lite bite’ lunch soon wore off so I got two Sweet and Sour’ chicken ready meals out of the freeze .... bunged them through the microwave and had an early dinner.

I haven’t done all the ‘work’ I intended doing, but, my word....I have enjoyed 'today'.

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
