Cracker o' a sunrise ....

25th October 2022 (Tuesday)      09.30 .... We had a beautiful sunrise time


sky, on what is a quiet and warm (for the time of year) morning;  and I wasn’t surprised to find the beach busy of such bonnie day.  

I was ‘up’ early and did a washing out before going to the beach.... now I’m well ready for breakfast.   I’ll have a browse through the sunrise photos, then...... I think I might have morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee up at Chapel Green.


12.00    I enjoyed having morrrning coffee at Chapel Green; I also managed to add a few more photos to the batch I took at sunrise time.... so will have plenty to keep me occupied this evening.   I only sort out a few (photographs) for the ‘blog’ and FB when I first get back to Ivy.  


Is not the best of drying days.....the wind isn’t as fresh as I’d like it to be;  and I'm having to keep as eye on the clouds.... some of them are starting to look like ‘showers’.

19.30   I’ve been as excitable as a bag o’ ferrets today;  never really stopped pottering around.   The threatening clouds never turned to rain so I even did some gardening.... and the washing wasn’t quite dry when I took it in but it is ready to iron.   The towels I’ll hang out again tomorrow.... assuming the weather is suitable.


21.30     I have some typing to do tomorrow morning;  after doing that I might go out on the bike, if it isn’t too windy.  Mind you the wind will dry the towels. ....the weather forecast is ‘sunny intervals, with light showers and a fresh breeze’... hopefully the showers will be near enough to give us impressive clouds, but far enough away for any



descending contents to miss us.   Oh that’s me bein’ awfie selfish;  naughty boy.  I want the contents to drop intae the Firth!  That’s better.

I’m beginning to enjoy feeling ‘my normal’ again;  does this mean that I’m shaking off the COVID? .... I certainly hope so.  Thank goodness for the protection the vaccine gives.

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
