Lovely morrrrrrning .....

13th October 2022 (Thursday)     08.30 .... It’s a beautiful start to what is

..... this one is for Honor!

going to be a sunny day.... albeit cool.   For some unknown reason I slept ‘in’ this morning so haven’t been out anywhere.   Anyway the ‘plan’ is to line two drawing boards and to do that I need the paste table.   I shall ‘play’ and have fun around Ivy today.... and maybe even take time out, on the bike, in the afternoon.   

We have the ‘Drop In Cafe’ in Elie Kirk Hall this afternoon and there’s going to be a presentation from Age Scotland on ‘How to Heat your Home for less’.   So... a cuppa, a friendly blether and advice on how to stay warm .... it should be a fun afternoon.  


20.00    The ‘Age Scotland’ presentation was interesting and informative;  it’s a pity I missed the first 30 minutes of it, having arrived late I only heard the last 15 minutes.... however, I had ‘joined’ Age Scotland’  a while ago (online) and was up to date with the latest info.    I chatted my way round the hall and came out with a room temperature thingy and a pen.   A very pleasant afternoon ... and there was a ‘full house’!    Why was I late in getting to the hall?.... I’d fallen asleep in the Hutte.

The two ‘drawing boards’ I intended lining aren’t plywood as I thought they were, so I’ll have to buy a couple.  However the day wasn’t a complete loss;  Alistair (Balvonie) rescued the apples that were on the tree;  before the blackbird pecked holes in them.   They’re not the tastiest of eating apples but they make good Eve’s Pudding!

I didn’t go out on the bike today, but did have a walk to the beach via the golf course and


Siward Lane.    The was a good number of people scattered all along the beach so there we must still be getting visitors, and from all over the UK going by the registration letter on the cars;  mind you that doesn’t mean that the occupants actually come from Birmingham (or wherever).... only where the actual vehicle was registered when new.

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
