Bonnie morning ....


24th July 2022 (Sunday)    10.30 .... Light showers (possibly thundery) and a fresh breeze are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9 today;  the thundery showers will be ‘later’...  I have a washing on the line!

‘Two Wheel Care’ (Pitscottie) has uplifted my trusty steed and is off to have a new tube and tyre fitted.   I shall be doing a ‘roond the villages’ tour in the next few days.  I think this is a good excuse ...oops.. reason, for a celebratory shot o’ caffeine.

12.00   ‘Maggie’ must have been down on the beach when I was at the harbour;  we have sandy footprints all over the living room carpet!    I’d better do some ooverin’.... and perhaps some dustin’.


We have a good drying day and the washing is almost ready dry:  I’ll get it in and on the ironing table soon.   Up to now I have been doing some ‘ousework and sittin’ in The Hutte doing a Sudoku and feeding two fledgling robins.  I’m hoping these two make it through to adulthood.   Feeding?.... that reminds me ‘Puku’ is feeling neglected.

20.30    There’s a heavy shower rattling its way across us just now... which is what was forecast for tonight:  they (the thundery showers) are to move away by morning leaving us with sunny spells and occasional spells light rain.

I’ve had an enjoyable day having had a mix of ‘ousework and watching the last Stage of Letour.   This year’s ‘Tour’ has been exciting and thrilling to watch.   A huge change from Team Sky days when viewing figures must have been low:     Even then I kept my eye on how the race was going, but only the last half hour or so of each Stage.  Viewing figures must have rocketed in the past couple of years.

I must be shaking off the after effects of the virus.... I am enjoying ‘ousework again!   I


might even clean the windows tomorrow;  since having the virus I’ve  only been clean the bottom sashes.   I’ll be staying around Ivy  tomorrow in case ‘Wheel Care’ bring the bike back;  which event will bring a quick end to the ‘ousework.

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
