Lovely morning....

13th July 2022 (Wednesday)   07.30 .... there’s a lovely fresh breeze this


morning, at the start of what is going to be another bonnie day.... but not as hot as it has been for the past few days.   I have Leven this morning, then Stage 11 of ‘the Tour’ in the afternoon.   ‘The Open’ starts tomorrow with Paul Lawrie teeing off in the first group at 06.35;   so from tomorrow, through to Sunday, I will have a choice of viewing. 

19.00    Thankfully we had a cooling breeze today;  even then it was hot in the sun.   The car has had its knee cap fixed plus something else they found when in there;  I am a happy bunny.

I went to Janet’s while the car was being done... and Lesley came round so we did a lot of catching up.... and we had a lot to catch up with.   We then went to Lesley’s (next door) to check out the decking that Lesley had painted;  and made a really good job of it.  I like the colours.   No snaggin’ line required!   We then admired the garden  and Lesley’s


bonsai trees.   Next door’s friendly cat appeared and cast a few cat hairs over Lesley.   Janet and I then went back to Janet’s and had a bowl o’ soup, before I eventually set off up the road to the garage.   I had to wait about an another hour and a half because they had to wait for a new bit to be delivered.    I had a browse round Banbeath industrial estate... well a bit of it.   All is good at Banbeath.

This morning I found a huge spider in the bath, so I picked it up, tossed it out at the back door.   ‘Blob’ (bless his feathery butt) promptly went down seized the spider and went off to feed it to one of his second brood of cat snacks... er fledglings.   It’s a cruel world right enough.

I am well tired tonight;  however I have nothing planned for tomorrow so I’ll manage to find time to ‘rest’:  with the Open golf and Le tour to keep an eye on I think falling asleep at some point is nigh on a certainty.

20.30   The North American Indians called the July full moon (tonight) the ‘Thunder


Moon’.... because it’s the thunder season.   The moon doesn’t rise until 22.36 and the sky is clouding over, so we might not see it.   I’ll check the sky nearer the time.

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
