Feeling lovable ....

21st March 2023 (Tuesday)      “Happy Birthday to Iain (58 today);  jings... that’s the same age as I will be in a couple o’ days.  

08.00.... The light rain has moved away and we have a bonnie morning... with an

'Goldeneye'.

interesting sky.   Actually, I am looking for a good drying day ‘cos I have a washing on;  if the washing doesn’t dry today it will tomorrow;  because tomorrow is going to be windy.... as in’ strong winds’.




22.00    The weather was amenable this morning so I did the Elie Estate bike run again;  and, although tired, I am happy with how I’m feeling.   It seems that it takes me about six weeks to get over a ‘winter bug’.   Once the weather settles down to Spring/Summer I should be buzzin’.    Anyway, after the morrrning trip on the bike, I had breakfast, then went to Methil to visit (and torment) Alice.  I wanted to go to B & M’s so we did that, and met Jock (sometimes ‘John’) who was in ‘flap on’ mode as he had to get back to Elie to get Honor’s lunch organized.    She is a lucky girl!


Now where was I?    Oh aye... Alice and I were in B & M’s;  where we met Jock!   B & M’s didn’t have what I wanted so we went to Starbucks and had morrrrrrrning coffee before going back to Alice’s for a bowl o’ soup.   By this time showers were starting to bumble their way over Methil so I bumbled my way back home to rescue the washing.   It had been caught by one of the showers but was nearly dry so I brought it in.

My afternoon was spent mostly dozing in front of the tele;  which is more or less what I expected would happen.   I hope to get out on the bike again tomorrow, but there’s a lively weather forecast.... wind and rain.   Both wind and rain should moderate by lunch


time;  I might then go out on the bike.  The wind is freshening and the rain (heavy) is supposed to come in soon: Could be a wild night.    

I’m thinkin’ it is chocolate time after a busy and enjoyable day.   I’m also thinkin’ that if it is wild and wet first thing tomorrow morning, I won’t get up until 07.30.

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
