Bright and breezy ....

3rd November 2022 (Thursday)       08.30 .... thankfully the wind has


moderated overnight and we have a calmer, but slightly colder, day.  I’ve been to the harbour and the car is back at the gate so Ferry Road is ‘GO’ again.    The workmen are removing the roof of the old kitchen at Ferry Lodge so its ‘GO’ all around this morning.   I’m enjoying the sound of building work; though it will be quieter once the demolition part of the work is done.  




18.30    What a beautiful day we’ve had....the wind dropped away to zero and we ended up with ‘bright sunny and balmy’ afternoon.    I went to the beach and nearly fell asleep on Nana’s Seat.... I sat there for almost an hour just watching people strolling along the beach.   It was a perfect afternoon for strolling. 

Work is going on apace at Ferry Lodge;  the wall outside, what was Maggie’s ‘Office’ window has gone; I’ll get better photographs tomorrow.   I went to Sainsbury’s (Leven) then up to Alice’s to have lunch, that was followed by chatting to Alice and her friend Joyce for 20 minutes before I left the girls to enjoy their girlie couple of hours.   I was back in Ivy by 14.30. and had a quick cuppa before going to the beach.


Tom and Natalie’s laurel hedge is already looking good; and will give them back the privacy lost when the previous hedge, a mix of Russian Vine and other bushes was removed.

22.30   All I have done this evening is doze in front of the tele...watching bits of different programmes;  including one about the Great Wall of China that I wanted to watch from start to finish.  All the fresh air I have had today must have made me tired;  it certainly wasn’t work. 


The Master Plan for tomorrow is; to go up to Elie (on the bike) for the paper.... and buy

two scones at the Bakers, before charging the bike battery.   Then... after lunch I will bike up to Kinneuchar, with the aforementioned scones, to visit Shona.   Right now 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

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
