Spring like mornin'....

13th February 2023 (Monday)     11.00 .... We had a light touch of frost first


thing, but all that has gone and we now have a beautiful, calm Spring like mornin’.... and it’s warm.    I’ve been up to Chapel Green (on the bike) and intend going out again later.   This must be some kind o’ holiday as the beach was busy:  I think this might be a ‘play day’.





20.30   The villages are busy because this is the ‘half term’ holiday south of ra border;  which explains why the beach was busy.   It has been perfect holiday weather today.... and is forecast to be the same tomorrow.   When I went up to Elie in the morning there was a queue outside both ‘paper shop’ and the baker’s.   So I went down to the harbour and got the baker on the way home.  I couldn’t get parked up until I was in Bank Street... so nae paper;  but I now knew why the villages were so busy.



With me having this cold it didn’t take much for me to fall sound asleep after lunch.  When I woke up I sorted out the photographs I’d taken in the morrrrrning and it was when doing this that I thought about going out on the bike again;  by this time it was almost 15.00.   I was refreshed after the 45 minutes or so catnap, the sun was warm and I wanted to enjoy the bonnie weather.   I ended up going up to Elie then through the estate to get photographs of the loch;  on a day like to it always looks idyllic.    I don’t know how many photos of Kinneuchar kirk reflected in the loch I have in the archive but it’s a lot.   I just can’t stop when confronted by that scene on a day like today... so... 73 ‘clicks’ later I decided it was time to go home to see what I had.   I wasn’t disappointed... though I did dump about a dozen of OOF shots.   I’m a happy .... but awfie tired boy tonight.

 Myra has the car going for its MOT tomorrow morning.... and I am picking Myra up


from the garage at 09.30... and that’s the ‘plan’ for tomorrow morning.

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
