Peaceful morrrrning ....

14th June 2022 (Tuesday)    10.45 ....After breakfast I went to B n’ Q’s (Leven)


to buy yellow gloss paint:  not much choice in the gloss line (mostly pastel shades) so I ended up buy ‘Marigold’ spray paint.     I don’t know how it will do but it dries fast so the ‘Blob’ problem is well taken care of.    The roads were busy.

The sun is trying hard to burn off the cloud so I am going to have another cuppa, then paint the underside of the table.   It’s warmer today .... and not before time.

20.30    I had a proper look in the shed and found a 250 ml tin of ‘Canary Yellow’ gloss paint; this is normal with me.   I have a tin of ‘Marigold’ spray paint;  now I’m looking for something to spray.   The table is starting to look the way I want it;  it should near enough be finished tomorrow.    I’d best get a couple of chairs organised for the corner;  perhaps a bench would be better.    I’ll see how it looks once I get the table on site.


It has been a good day for pottering about with paint:  actual painting isn’t strenuous.... the preparation can be.

I made a batch of ‘Cottage Pies’ for the freezer in the afternoon;  so I’m slightly tired tonight.... but it’s a bonnie evening;  I might just have a run out in the car after this update.... and after a cuppa.

21.45    I’ve had a look at the weather forecast for tomorrow and it looks like we going to have a nice day.  I’ll get another coat on the table top,  then go to the ‘istory Society coffee ‘get thegither’ at the ‘Pav’.   Also, I think tomorrow could be the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Bite’ Lunch;  if it is I won’t have to bother about making lunch.

It’s a really quiet evening;  I’d go down to the beach but I’m feeling tired and mair ready


for bed, than going out.    I’ll make the chocolate and get orf to bed:  well content after a busy day.

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
