Balmy morrrrrning .....

29th March 2023 (Wednesday)     10.30.... We had a bonnie start to the day....


but rain is forecast to arrive in the afternoon.   I went to the harbour (in the car) to enjoy, and get a few ‘reflection’ photos, on this balmy and peaceful morning.    The ‘plan’ is to do ‘ousework in the afternoon.   Having said that;  I’ve just had a migraine so I’m not ‘iggzactly’ in a working mood... I think a weak morrrrrrrrning coffee is required.






19.00     The weather has been bit mixed up today.... in fact it wasn’t quite as bad as it was forecast to be.  The sky brightened up and the air warmed up after lunchtime, and I considered going out on the bike;  but when I went out to get the bike it was spitting rain again so I cancelled that idea... and went back to the ‘ousework.

 I chose an easy and restful job today;  I sorted out my sock drawer;  in fact I sorted out two drawers and a bag of old socks etc. is now in the ‘bloo’ bin.  


The Team working on the Ferry Lodge renovation/extension made good progress with the retaining wall today;  they’re a hard working, efficient and friendly team of workers.








20.00   There was an interesting sky as the rain moves away so I decided to take a run to the harbour to have a break from sorting out stuff.  It was good to see The ‘Ship Inn’ busy on what I’d expect to be a quiet evening.    I’m assuming that all the cars at the Toft belonged to folk enjoying The Ship.    I had the harbour to myself....nae surprise there;  even though it is a peaceful evening.

Nar ‘plan’ for tomorrow other than going to the 19th for lunch.   The weather forecast is


good for tomorrow;  in fact I hope to hang out a washing.     ‘Light rain with a moderate breeze’ is the forecast ....I’m thinking positive!  That said;  if we do get light rain, the washing will dry in front of a radiator.

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
