Quiet morrrrrrrning .....

9th July 2022 (Saturday)    06.00 ... There’s a light breeze, with fair amount of


cloud around .... however the forecast is for us to have ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’, with the temperature rising to 22C.   It’s going to be a bonnie day. 

This is the start of ‘The Open’ week so the villages, indeed the whole of the East Neuk, will be busy;  this is the ‘changeover day’ with the holiday houses, so we can expect a lot of traffic.  I’ve had my ‘first’ breakfast....and will have another cuppa after this update, then go out on the bike before the roads get busy. 

08.30   I haven’t been out yet...  having been waiting for the sun to burn off the cloud;  I can see blue bits here and there now, so it should brighten up soon.   However, I haven’t been wasting time;   after breakfast I decided to check the woollie hat drawer .... and 17 woollie hats have been washed and are now hanging on the line.  I’m a happy boy....  I think it's time for morning coffee.

19.30    We can’t complain aboot the weather just now;  even I’m thinkin’ summer has arrived at last.   Actually it was too hot me going out in the afternoon, but that didn’t bother me:  I’m happy enough with the rest of the day.    I had ‘le Tour’ to keep an eye on anyway... and ‘ousework o potter about with.

The villages don’t appear to be as busy as I thought they’d be;  actually I haven’t been further than the garden today, so I don’t really know how busy the villages are;  all I do know is that Ferry Road has been busy with vehicles and they must be going somewhere.   I’ll go out on the bike tomorrow morning and do a ‘roond the villages tour’.


20.30     I have 17 clean woollie hats in the woollie hat drawer;  a good selection to choose from come the winter.   I didn’t realise I had collected so many.

What’s the plan for tomorrow?   The weather is suppose to be even better than today’s was;  that means my activities will be confined to morning and late afternoon evening.   I was thinking of trying for the beach this evening, but the breathing tubes have been iffy; so  that idea will probably have to be abandoned.   Aggravated asthma and fatigue are the worst after effects I’ve had from the virus.

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
