Lovely fresh morning ....

5th August 2022 (Friday)     09.30 ....There’s a fresh feel to the early morning


air now;  a touch of Autumn in fact.  It’s a beautiful morning and I was looking forward to going to Kirkcaldy with Alice but had to cancel that plan because a migraine kicked in when I was at the harbour.  (When is the worst time to have a migraine?.... first thing in the morning).    I’ll potter around Ivy for the rest of the day.... and fall asleep in front of the tele.   Right now I need another cuppa.


21.00    This has been a ‘rest day’;   although I washed some bed linen, including a downie cover.... but that was all the ‘work’ I did.   Most of the time was spent dozing... and watching the Commonwealth Games.   At one point I ended up watching gymnasts doing rhythmic gymnastics (I think that’s what it’s called)  with a ball;  that was magical.   When they had the ball close to their body is was as if the ball was still and they were winding themselves around it.   They also did another exercise using a long ribbon on a stick... and another with two clubs.    They must have rubber joints;  not the clubs... the gymnasts.


We have a bonnie evening;  though it is breezy and feels cooler.  Light cloud and a fresh breeze is the forecast for tomorrow;  I should get out on the bike early.... earlier than I was this morning.   I met the ‘bucket cairt’ on the road from Liberty to Elie....the other vehicles behind it.   It was quieter on the way home.

No plan for tomorrow:  but I’ll finish the bathroom.  There isn’t much to do but I’m thinkin’ I’ll buy a warmer looking shower curtain;  I fancy one with poppies,  or some other bright flowers on it if I can find one.   The present curtain in blue with fish on it;  not very warm looking.   I’m thinking of the cold of winter; and it’s going to be cold this winter.  I’m thinking of the energy bills. Must ‘go’... ‘flap on’:  I need to find a bedtime book to read.   You won’t believe it..... I finished reading ‘Robinson Crusoe’ last night;  a lot of years have passed by since I last read Robison Crusoe.   He didn’t have to worry about energy prices!

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
