Lovely morning ....

9th December 2022 (Friday)     10.30 .... welll... for the first time in  almost


two weeks I’ve managed to go to the beach;  I’m not quite ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ but I am feeling beginning to feel mair playful.   I enjoyed the fresh beach air.... and chatting to Andrew who was out with the dog;  and I got some bonnie sunrise time photographs to play with.   Oh.... it’s a lovely morning and not quite as cold as it has been, though there was a light touch of early morning frost.   I think I’ll put the kettle ‘on’.




16.00    It has been a ‘bright and sunny day’ (and slightly cold) and I have enjoyed it.    I wouldn’t say that I was ‘100%  bright eyed and bushy tailed’, but  I am feeling more positive and playful.    After an early morning coffee I went up to the ‘Paper Shop’, and instead of going to the harbour I went to ‘The Store’ to top up with vital necessities for the weekend:  In other words...things I forgot to get the other day.   Apart from having to negotiate the tank trap style potholes , across the road at St Monans, I enjoyed the journey.   

I don’t remember that last time I met someone I knew in ‘The Store’; but, both the shop and the car park were busy:  It was almost like being in Tesco’s car park in Uckfield.   That reminds me; Sunny Sussex is going to have a harder frost than us tonight:  we’re forecast to be -2C.... Sunny Sussex -5C.




18.15     Well... I’ve had a better an enjoyable day, but not yet feeling clear of this ‘under the weather’ feeling.    Tomorrow’s ‘plan’ is to try to get back into my normal routine by going to the beach at sunrise time.   This depends on the weather:   the forecast for KY9 is.... (25 minute pause) .... is ....“sleet showers and a moderate breeze”.   I’m not keen on the sleet showers, but like the clouds; as long as they are somewhere else...but within range of the camera.

I forgot about the Royal Mail being on strike;  this means my SSAFA Christmas cards


will arrive ‘sometime’ soon.   I’ll write the ones for posting and get them away at the weekend.

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
