Bright and breezy ....

1st October 2022 (Saturday)      08.30 ....we had a bonnie sunrise to begin a


bright and breezy day, but there is the chance of light showers later.... and there’s a frisky wind but not nearly as frisky as it was yesterday.    The beach was quiet this morning.... in fact I was the only one on it as far as I could see;  no dogs walking their humans, which was unusual for morning time.





20.00   It has been a good day for being out with the camera;  slightly breezy right enough.....so cauld on the lugs, but very enjoyable.   There was a bonnie light’ about, so, after breakfast I went for the paper and had a run down to the harbour, stopping at the Toft on the way home.  Alice phoned with a ‘plan’ so I louped intae the car to get her, and we took a quick trip to Anstruther.   The wind was fresh so we didn’t hang around;  we drove home to Ivy via the back roads.... and had lunch;  followed by a cuppa and blether in The Hutte.    I then took Alice back home .... where we had another cuppa before I bumbled my way back to The Royal Burrow.


The Ferry Road ‘oles haven’t been filled in yet so the car is moored up at St Margaret’s.   It will probably be Monday before the ‘oles and done, and Ferry Road back to normal.   




22.00    There’s nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow so far;  however the weather forecast is good so I might go out on the bike ...and the bike battery is fully charged. 

I saw the News earlier, and have decided that I shall always have the buttons in my hand when watching the News in future:..... I think ‘that woman’ (Truss) is the most deceitful looking female I have ever seen (on TV)....(apologies to anyone who thinks otherwise).  I will never mention her again.

This has been a happy day;  the light was excellent for photographs, Alice made

Anstruther Wester kirk.

individual sized strawberry cheesecakes... and they are totally absolutely scrumptious:  I’d just “line ‘em up”.   Strawberries are fruit so one cheesecake = one of the recommended ‘five a day’.   I’ll be buying the ingredients the next time I’m shopping!   Yes.... I’d say that this has been an excellent day.   It’s chocolate time.

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
