Fresh autumnal morning ....

31st August 2022 (Wednesday)      06.45 .... On the last day of August we have


a bright morning with a light, cool, easterly breeze: in fact we have the start of a bonnie day, with more sunny spells than we had yesterday.   Oh dear... we should have a warm afternoon, and I’m feeling frolicsome again.... this could be a play day.

15.00    We have one tired ‘Boy’ at ivy just now;  after a busy and interesting morning.   I did a ‘dry goods’ shopping first;  then went to get Alice, have cuppa then go to the Letham Glen Activities Centre:  today was the first time it has been ‘open’ since the COVID pandemic began, and was only an introductory ‘Cafe and chat’ get thegither;  the plan is to have weekly meetings when you chat and have a cuppa while doing your ‘own thing’.   Hopefully the plans they have, come to fruition, because they would help a lot of people cope with what is going to be a difficult time ahead.


21.30    Happy happy ‘me’ .... ‘The Team’ (Myra, Kirsty, Geoff and me) are going to ‘The Smoke House’ (East Pier, St Monans) for lunch tomorrow;  it’s a few weeks since I’ve been at St Monans harbour.... and well before the COVID pandemic since I had food there.   The weather forecast is good for tomorrow .... “sunny with a light breeze”.... a bonnie day for being at St Monans ‘arbour.   The forecast also = a good drying day;  I might strip the single bed.   There will be ‘nae breengin’ with this bed..... the whole operation, stripping and putting back together, will be gently done.   It has taken me three days to recover from doing the double bed!   Its five months since I had the virus and, although I am definitely getting better, the fatigue still bothers me.   Mind you the cure for fatigue is pleasant enough;  an hour on top of the bed.

With the weather forecast being favourable the ‘plan for tomorrow is simple;  strip the


single bed and get the sheets etc through the machine and out on the line first thing:  when the washing is going through the machine, I’ll go ‘roond the villages’ on the bike.   Lunch is at 13.00 and that will be followed by a quiet and restful afternoon.  Yep .... I’m looking forward to ‘ra morra’.

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
