Peaceful, fresh morning ....

26th July 2022 (Wednesday)      06.30 ....I’m feeling rested and ready to play

Kinneuchar.

 work, on what is a fresh morning.  There’s a cool light breeze from the WNW with a few clouds about:  the forecast is for showers to bubble up in the middle part of the day.... as they did yesterday.   I’m going to have another cuppa then, once the air is slightly warmer, I'll get the bike out.    It’s 10C just now.

12.30   Ye Gods;  bumblin’ around on the bike is tirin’.   I had an enjoyable, early morning run up to Kinneuchar then home by way of Elie (forgot the paper) and was well ready for breakfast when I got back to Ivy.  I played with the photos I got then fell fast asleep for three quarters of an hour after breakfast.    It must be all the fresh air I got when out.   Anyway when I surfaced I thought it was Wednesday, and promptly went into ‘Flap on’ mode because I had a prescription to hand in.   I had a cuppa then louped into the car and went to the Chemist, to find it was only Tuesday so there was plenty time for the prescription to be processed:  I’m a happy boy.   The roads are busy even the ‘used tae be quiet’ Balbuthie road.   Now that I’m active I think I’ll do an online shopping;  I'd go to one of the shops but there's a touch of 'the mauchless' in the air.


13.30    The online shopping has been done;  and migraine has kicked in, so a quiet afternoon ahead.

20.45    I’ve had a very quiet, and lazy, day...and intend having an early night in bed.   England (Women) are playing Sweden in one of the Euro 2022 semi finals this evening;  I might watch the second half of that.   Women’s football hasn’t been tainted with the childish antics that you have on the men’s circuit;  women play the game the way it should be played.

It has been a nice day today and it’s ending with a bonnie evening.   I intended going out


on the bike again this evening but the migraine ended that plan.  We’re going to have ‘sunny intervals and a gentle breeze’ tomorrow.... in fact it’s going to be a fine morning for me going out early:  the roads are too busy for me once the traffic gets going.

I had big ‘plans’ for today;  going up to Beaufort Cottage for morning coffee being one of them;  however I should be ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ tomorrow morning... so I'll try to take a run up to Chapel Green at the appropriate time.

00   England beat Sweden 4 – 0 in the semi final;  and it might well have been 5.  The other semi final is between Germany and France tomorrow with the final on Sunday.  There’s no doubt that England  are well capable of winning Euro 2022.

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

 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
