Cracker o' a mornin' ....

1st September 2022 (Thursday)      07.30 .....Welcome to cracker o’ a


September mornin’.... ‘bright,  sunny  and warm with only a light breeze;   a lovely morning for going out.    There’s  a washing in the machine and  I’m on my second cuppa before getting the bike out and having a birl up to Chapel Green.  

09.30    I had a turn out to the 11th tee for a change o’ scene;  no ...I should say...” for a change of viewpoint of a favourite scene” ....Kincraig Cliffs!   It was magical.... calm, peaceful;  and a million miles away from the havoc going on in today’s world.   Love it. 

21.30     We, Myra, Kirsty, Geoff and I, enjoyed lunch at ‘The Smoke Shed’ (East Pier) in St Monans.... excellent food and company.   I’m allergic to shellfish so chose cod and chips (no starter), with pavlova for dessert.... big helpings of both....and very tasty.   The restaurant was busier than I expected, but it was a bonnie day and a lot of folk were wandering around St Monans.... and the East pier was handy for a hungry walker.

This has been a bad ‘breathing’ day.  I think it was just the still hot air, but whatever was, it didn’t agree with my tubes.   It became easier in the evening with the cooler air, but I didn’t o out on the bike again as I’d planned.

Being at St Monans reminded me that I haven’t been round the harbour for a few weeks.... I’ll have to do something about that in the next week or two;  on a good breathing day.

The bedding is ready to go back on the bed so that will be my mission tomorrow morning.  Apart from my asthma I have had an enjoyable day.... and have even managed to do some ‘work’... albeit slowly.   The bike out to the 11th tee was really enjoyable.... depending how I am in the morning I might do that tomorrow morning:  the forecast is

St Monans.

good... pretty much the same as today in fact.  The air is fresher at that time of morning.... and my breathing is good;  in fact I’m playful early in the morning.

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
