Peaceful morning ....

16th April 2023 (Sunday)    10.00 .... we have one of those peaceful Elie and


Earlsferry mornings;   there’s only a light breeze and it’s warm and humid.... in fact I had to put the camera away when we had some spits and spots o’ rain.   Nothing to bother about.... and it should be a bonnie day with ‘sunny spells by mid morrrrrrrrning.

I went for the paper, in the car because of the threat of light showers, but intend going out on the bike later.  It’s time for breakfast and morrrning coffee.   At the moment I have no effects from the ‘jab’.... though I expect I’ll be sleepy in the afternoon.   

11.00 The ‘plan’ is to go out on the bike after morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.... not too far yet but further than I have been doing over the winter.   I’d like to make it to Balcarres next week sometime.  I managed a hirple to the beach this morning so the sair knee is slowly recovering.


19.38 (that was a good year).    When I went up to Chapel Green on the bike (after morrrrning coffee) I was well wrapped up;  but I needn’t have bothered .... it was too warm and I had to discard the scarf.   However I enjoyed the short run meeting various folks on the way round.   I have been busier than I expected to be on the first day after the booster ‘jab’;  having said that it is normally on the second day that I have mild after effects.... a slight headache etc.   Alistair and Barbara are recovering from COVID at present,  so the ‘bug’ is still active in the community.

It has been a bonnie day for the camera and I have a number of photos to ‘play’ with after this update.   There was a bonnie ‘light’ about today.

Tomorrows 'plan is going to be a sort of ‘rest day’ working on the


Kinneuchar kirk drawing ....accompanied by numerous cuppas.   ‘Light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the forecast.... the ‘moderate breeze being from the Easterly direction.  I might go out on the bike early (before the breeze freshens) but only if I’m feeling ‘frightfully frisky’;  the main ‘plan’ is to ensconce myself in The Hutte to draw.

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
