Bright and sunny ....

14th March 2023 (Tuesday)     09.30....I’m feeling playful... and we have a


bright and sunny morning; ideal ‘play day weather.  It was -1C on the thermometer earlier but the sun is up and the temperature with it.   I have a washing going through the machine, and have the office shelf to sort out so ‘playing’ won’t happen until after lunch. 

20.45    The gritter has been round so the ‘Cooncil’ must be expecting frost tonight:  the sky is clear so it’s s good night for star gazing.   It should be a bonnie, if slightly cool, day tomorrow.


I went up to Kinneuchar to enjoy the sunshine for a while:  I planned to go round the marsh, but I’d forgotten that it had been raining yesterday so I found it flooded and I didn’t have wellies with me.  I’ll tackle the marsh in a few weeks.

Good progress has been made with the office.... but I have a few individual Folders to sort out but that can be done any time.   I must have made a clearance because I now have a few feet of empty shelf space.   I’ll soon find stuff to store on it:  but that won’t be tomorrow as I’m taking a ‘day out’ .... I need a ‘play day’, and the weather forecast is good for tomorrow:  but wet and windy  on Thursday.   So tomorrow is the ‘play day’.   The car goes in for a service on Thursday so that will be another ‘rest day’;  annoying Alice.

On the way home from Kinneuchar I visited the harbour;  there was an interesting sky


and a big beach (the tide was out) so I was a ‘happy bunny’:  and well pleased with the photographs I got.   In fact I’m going to ‘play with them after this update.

The villages seemed busy when I was out in the car today.... but then the East Neuk roads are always busy nowadays.   And there’s always someone in a hurry.

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
