Breezy .....

25th November 2022 (Friday)    07.00 .... It was spitting rain when I put

Robin Gray's cottage.

the green bucket out this morning; ‘strong winds and sunny intervals with a low chance of precipitation’ is the weather forecast, so it could be a bonnie enough day.  I don’t want rain if I’m pottering around Leven. 

20.00   There was a change o’ plan:  instead of pottering around the Bawbee Brig, Izzy (Alice’s daughter) picked me up from the garage and I spent the day with Izzy.   First thing, on leaving the garage, we took Alice to Kirkcaldy to catch the Edinburgh coach:  she was going to meet her granddaughter and husband in Edinburgh to go to the ballet at the Festival Theatre.    Izzy and I then went to Asda’s where Izzy did her weekly shopping and I browsed the prices.    We then went to Izzy and Alan’s house in Windygates where we had lunch and passed the time of day until it was time to go to the garage to pick up the car;  which was getting the bits fixed to get through its MOT.... and at a reasonable cost.   I am a happy bunny.


In Kirkcaldy Izzy, who is a nurse, went to check on Irene, her mother in law, and I went in and had coffee with them.   Irene is a lovely lady (a Kirkcaldy girl) and former teacher.   Alan (Izzy's husband) was having one of his motor bikes checked by another biker friend;  Alan is a Harley Davidson boy.

Although I had the camera with me I never used it all day;  too busy with other things.   So nae photographs today.... well not 'today' photos.

By the time I left the garage it was nearly dark so had to drive home in the dark;  the first time I’ve done this since before COVID.

21.30    I’m having an early night in bed;  and tomorrow is a ‘rest day’.   Alice and I are

Bank Street.

going to visit a mutual friend from Colinsburgh.   This will be a reminiscing session.  

“Thick cloud and a moderate breeze, with an increasing chance of precipitation in the afternoon” is our weather forecast.

We have three photos taken from the top deck of a ‘95’ bus a few years ago;  including one of the former Lundin Links Hotel.

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
