Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

5th February 2023 (Sunday)    09305.... There was a light touch of frost this


morrrrrrrrning...it is definitely cooler that it has been for the past few days:  but it’s a bonnie start to the day, and I was on the beach to catch the sunrise.   The beach was quiet with only me and a dog out exercising its owner.   It’s a bonnie morning and I hope to get out on the bike once the sun is higher... and the air warmer.   It’s a ‘play day’.



16.45    Despite the cool air the villages have been busy;  the Coastal Path seemed to be popular today.   When I went for the paper a group of walkers were getting boots and rucksacks out of cars for a day on the Coastal Path.   It doesn’t seem long ago since Maggie and me were doing that .   It has been a good day for walking.


I didn’t do any more walking after the beach this morning;..... and I didn’t go out on the bike.   What I did do was hang the shed door that blew off in a gale a few weeks ago. That was a tricky jo (for me) and, between doing that and making sure that I was taking in plenty liquids, it took  a couple of hours.  ’Blob’ was on permanent mooch mode so I had him to contend with.    The door is back where it should be, and the hinges oiled, so everything is working smoothly. 

22.30    I’m tired after a reasonably active day;  the ‘plan’ is the do a bit more to the


garden tomorrow assuming the weather is OK.  I saw the weather forecast earlier and it’s going to be much the same as today.... but not as cold.  It’s the ‘broon’ bucket next Friday (10th) so I can fill it tae the gunnels wi’ garden rubbish.   I intend to take time out on the bike around the middle of the day.

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
