Bonnie morning....

18th January 2023 (Wednesday)      09.15 .... it’s 1C on the thermometer this


morning, so not as cold as it has been on the past few mornings.    I haven’t been further than the garden ... feeding ‘Blob’, but it is a bonnie morning,.... and warmer;  but not warm enough.    I need another cuppa. 



19.30    My word I was needing that.... and I can see my lugs!   Lorraine has worked her magic on my silver locks, and I feel comfortable again.   I didn’t go to the Colinsburgh Lunch;  my breathing has ‘iffy’ today, and I thought the hair appointment was vital and enough of a ‘plan’ for today.    I went to the ‘arbour after the haircut, then home to Ivy for a cuppa and a catnap.   Later in the afternoon I went up to Kinneuchar to get a few photographs of the village in the evening sunlight.... and that that has been my day.


Although I felt it was warmer (than of late) first thing this morning that feeling didn’t last long, and I found  it bitterly cold most of the day.   I’ve had to have the  heating ‘on’ most of the time.... but I turn it down when I go out.

The ‘plan’ for the remainder of the evening is to drink numerous cuppas and find something to watch on the tele.



21.30    I found an interesting programme about Orkney to watch;  apparently the ‘builders’ on Orkney were 500 years or so ahead of Stonehenge.    It’s amazing what archaeologists can ‘unearth’ with a wee trowel and scientific instruments.    Prof Iain Oliver was one of the leading scientists on the team.

Tomorrow looks like being a decent ‘drying day’ so I’m going to was the bed linen off the


single bed.   I’ll get that done and out on the line first thing.   I am having an early night in bed tonight;  this hasn’t been one of my better days, but I am glad that I had my hair cut.    Last night I didn’t get to bed until after 23.00 and, nowadays, that is late for me.   It also explains why I’ve been feeling lethargic and under the weather for most of today.   I’m beginning to brighten up now!

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
