Lovely sunrise sky ....

19th January 2023 (Thursday)    08.15....We have a bonnie start to the day...


but it’s cold (-2C).... with a light breeze.   I hung out a washing, which was frozen stiff before I’d finished (as were my fingers).   Once the sun gets going the washing should defrost and dry:  that’s the theory anyway.   I’ll go for a paper after breakfast.... and after the sun has shifted the rime off the car windscreen!




21.15   It has been bitterly cauld all day.... but my bed linen dried so I ain’t complainin’.    Well ... that’s no’ true;  I am complainin’.... I’m not overly fond the cold weather.

I’ve had one busy day.   After going to Elie for the paper I went to Leven to visit Alice, and, after a cuppa we went to the ‘Cheap Shop’ to do some shopping.   The ‘Bargain Store’ (or ‘Cheap Shop’ as I call it) is well named and definitely helps to bring the cost of living down a bit.   ‘B & M (Leven) is expanding into the former Argos site; when that is done it will be about the same size as the Glenrothes (B & M) store.   Levenmouth has


always had shops that were not in the ‘Rip Off Britain’ league.   After a bowl of soup at Alice’s I came home and had loads of time to go to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the kirk hall.   Honor was telling me that Jock was busy making a steak and kidney pie for dinner.  Honor is so lucky having  Jock (sometimes John) spoiling her all the time!

On leaving the ‘Drop In Cafe’ I went to the harbour then up to Kinneuchar to get a few sundown time photographs.   I was glad to get back home and get the kettle ‘on’.

Having gulped down the aforementioned cuppa I made another one and then set about


making a small batch of Cottage Pies for the freezer.   That has been done and they are cooling off as I type.

‘Nae plan’ for tomorrow;  but, if the sky we had at sunset is anything to go by, we should have a bonnie day, albeit a cold one again.   I think I’ll have a ‘rest day’ tomorrow.

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
