Feeling excitable ....

17th October 2022 (Monday)     10.00 .... It’s all ‘appening at Ferry Road


this morning;  a fresh set of temporary traffic lights so that Scottish Power can replace a junction box ... on the pavement outside Ferry Lodge.   I imagine this will mean we’ll have ‘power cuts ‘;   mind you, we haven’t had any notification .....  so far.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on;  things could be happening outside.... and, more importantly, I switched the  kettle  ‘on’ half an hour ago....that’ll need to be fired up again!
I’m feeling frolicsome this morning.... and it’s a bonnie start to the day so I’ve been to the harbour on the bike (and forgot the paper);  strong winds with rain is forecast for later in the afternoon.   I might go out again.... after morrrrrning coffee.

18.00   I don’t know where to begin, Ferry Road has been a hive o’ activity all day:  the result of all this activity?.... two lovely holes (well worth a browse), and Balvonie without scaffolding.   There was so much ‘appening that I almost forgot to put the kettle on at morrrning coffee time.   The camera has been recording events and I have a load o’ photographs to play with over the next couple of hours.   Ferry Road is a ‘No Parking’ zone now so ‘sooper buggy’ is moored up at the Toon Hall.

'Permian Lady' - liquid gas tanker.

It has been a lovely day, albeit breezy but we knew that was coming.   It was the wind that made me cut short my ‘planned’ run up to Kinneuchar;  I might do that tomorrow.  I’m well ready for food now... and warm cuppa.  The kettle has been neglected today.

 




21.30    Heather, Ray and Alistair dropped in this evening;  we had a mug o’ coffee and a good old natter.... an enjoyable evening that passed too quickly.

According the weather lassie on BBC tonight tomorrow is going to be a bonnie day;  the wind is to moderate overnight and it is going to be ‘sunny with a light breeze’.... with the wind is veering towards the East in the afternoon.    My ‘plan’ is to go out in the morning


the charge up the bike battery then, hopefully go out again in the afternoon.    I have a wee bit of work I want to do so the afternoon bike run might not happen.   I’ve had an enjoyable day today, and will have the Ferry Road action to record.... so tomorrow could be a fairly busy day too.

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
