Wall to wall bloo sky ....

19th April 2023 (Wednesday)   07.00.... We have ‘wall to wall bloo sky, with a

'Saipem 7000'.

moderate wind from the East out in the Firth (Saipem 7000) just now.... a bonnie morning but cool in the easterly wind.   I might go for a short run up to Chapel Green (to flatten the bike battery) once the air warms up around about morning coffee time.   In fact I might take the coffee with me.   

09.00    ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has been busy;  I’ve been for the paper(s) and hung out a washing.  Though still feeling slightly under the weather, I’m feeling brighter; and hoping that the side effects from the booster jab are past.  We have one ‘almost playful’ boy this morrrrrrning.  

15.30    I’ve been up at Kinneuchar kirk, sorting out the family burial places that have been attached to the remains of the old kirk,  since the Reformation.  All this is keeping the brain active. 


The ‘almost playful’ feeling evaporated fairly rapidly and I feel that the ‘jab’ has kicked in;  as it has done every time.   I had hoped to be frolicking aboot like new born lamb tomorrow....but ‘frolicking’ might not happen for another couple o’ days.   And .... I pranged a finger with the car door this morning:  that woke me up I can tell you.  I was surprised to find that my blood isn’t ‘bloo’.   I mean... come on .... this is "The Royal Burgh"!




21.00   I’ve been reasonably active today....and we’ve had ‘wall to wall’ sun most of the time;  in fact I don’t remember seeing a single cloud.  However I did doze off in The Hutte and probably missed the one cloud that did pass over.   The workmen have been busy next door;  a concrete delivery arrived and they were busy getting that poured.   It’s all very interesting.... and brings back happy memories.  It’s good watching an efficient ‘team’ at work.

My ‘work’(Kinneuchar kirk) continues.   The only reason I’m doing it is because the


remains of the pre Reformation irk my mind and I need to explain them to myself.   I’ll put a page up on the Hutte once I’m done.   That could be a wee while.   I’m kinda thinking I should have done the drawing on the computer instead of on paper;  but paper is how I was taught and it’s relaxing.   I’m happy... in spite of the booster jab bothering me.   ‘Slight Flap on’.... need to make the bedtime chocolate.

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
