Bonnie peaceful morrrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

27th July 2022 (Wednesday)      10.00 .... The paper has been uplifted... I


remembered to visit the harbour:  and we have a really peaceful and bonnie day.   On the way home from the ‘paper shop’ I went through Elie Estate;  my word... the loch, which  was like a mirror, has been photographed tae bits.   

I suppose I’d better think of ‘work’ now;  thinking about I’m good at....’doing’ ... not so good.   I have another two weeks before Michael and Janice arrive.   Loads o’ time!

22.30   I hope I have ‘loads o’ time’, because I haven’t done much today.... not ‘work’ anyway.    I went up to Chapel Green and reminisced on The Boss’s seat, took a few photos, then went to see if Heather, Ray and Alistair were in residence:  but I’d left it too late, so I missed out on the coffee,.... and blether.   I had ‘morning coffee’ back at Ivy, and fed the Blob family.


After a lite lunch I did a wee bit ‘o housework before giving in to the desire to have ‘50’.   I slept for nearly an hour;  put the kettle on and went up to The Hutte to see how the bike battery charging was going... and did a Sudoku. Then I remembered that I’d taken a few photos up at Chapel Green so I sorted them out.  This has been  restful day.

I.ve been watching the Euro 2022 semi final between France and Germany;  it’s not as entertaining as the England  v Sweden game.....probably because England is the UK team.   Anyway the game has finished 2 – 1 to Germany so it’s England v Germany in the final on Sunday.   A touch of déjà vu;  but this time it’s the girls.  

Tomorrow I must do some work.   I’ll go out for a quick run on the bike first thing then I


have to stay in for a Tesco delivery at 10 anyway, so I’ll potter about with duster and polish until then.  I’m going to use online more often;  but I’ll have to sort out the ‘favourites’ list....there’s an expensive time, and a cauld winter, ahead.   

‘Light cloud and a gentle breeze, with a chance of precipitation’ is our forecast for tomorrow;  probably means scattered showers in the afternoon.

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
