Balmy morning ....

29th October 2022 (Saturday)    09.30 .... it’s a bonnie balmy, warm and

"Good Morrrrning" from Elie and Earlsferry beach.

(unfortunately) overcast start to the day:  the light breeze is from the Southeast so it could bring mist in from the North Sea.   I don’t want mist... I’d rather have ... yep .... sunny spells and bonnie clouds:  that said it’s a bonnie day for going out.   I went to the beach at sunrise time (there was never going to be a visible ‘sunrise’) and enjoyed a slow (what else) wander along the edge of the tide..... very relaxing.   I was thinking of going up to Balcarres but I want a sunny day for that.   It’s breakfast time... in fact it’s almost morrrrrning coffee time.

17.30   The Ivy Cottage clocks are at the ‘new’ time.... it’s been that kind o’ afternoon;  grey and wet.   Earlier I’d been to Leven (‘cos I’d forgotten half my shopping the other day) so, took a chance and went to annoy Alice for a couple of hours, and mooch a cuppa.  Oh... a Big “Thank You” to the kind ‘person who left the bag of apples at the door:  I’ll be making Eve’s Pudding’s tomorrow.

The Rugby is on just now then ‘Strictly’ so a busy evening ahead.

21.30    I’ve had another, enjoyable ‘lazy’ er ... restful day;  though it ended with a migraine.   Actually....if I could chose the time to have a migraine... just before bedtime would be the time;  though I’d rather not have them at all.   Anyway on to tomorrow! .... after I have a couple o’ pills for the migraine.

What is the ‘plan?   Tomorrow’s weather forecast is better than today’s so I might get out on the bike;  I want to get a few autumn colour photos, before the leaves totally disappear from the trees.   Mind you the forecast isn’t brilliant;  nae mention of ‘sunny spells’ but it does mention the ‘chance of precipitation’.   Oh ....‘light cloud and  a fresh breeze’ is the forecast.

The Rugby was a bit of a disappointment;  no, that’s not quite right .... there was nothing wrong with the rugby, just the result.   ‘Strictly’ was entertaining as usual.... the Halloween costumes were something else and it will be hard to eliminate one of the couples, but that will be done tomorrow evening.

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
