Beautiful morrrrrrrrning .....

17th May 2023 (Wednesday)      09.30 .... It’s an absolute cracker o’ a mornin’


so I was out on the bike at 05.30 this morrrrrrrrrrrning.    The sun had appeared above the low cloud so it wasn’t cold and there was very little wind.... and the only wind chill  was when I was on the bike.  I might go out later in the morning;  after morrrrrning coffee.   Thankfully, my knee doesn’t bother me when I’m biking;  well it does but only when I’m getting on and off.


19.30    I enjoyed my run round the villages this morning.... and not having been on the bike for nigh on a week made it doubly enjoyable.  Early morning is the best time for me to be out.... in fact it’s the best time of the day:  the roads are quiet, the birds twitterin’ and it’s a good time to be out with the camera.   I ended up with a load o’ photographs to ‘play’ with.    I’ll finish sorting them out after this update.

My main mission for today was renewing my Blue Badge;  which was easily done after I’d sorted out the bits and pieces needed.   I did it online.... and now wait for Fife Council to do their bit and send me the bill.... and the new badge.


Cruise ship 'Viking Venus'.

I had thought of going out on the bike this evening but the change in the weather has put me off that idea;  anyway I have enough photos to play with tonight.

I did a bit of drawing ‘work’ (in between catnaps) in the afternoon;  progress, though slow, is steady .... and very satisfying.   Tomorrow I’ll take ‘time out’ to go to Methil and ‘annoy’  Alice .....she is bound to need some ‘annoying’.

21.00   Tomorrow’s weather forecast is .... 23 second pause ... ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’;  it could be a bonnie day;  and a good drying one.   I’ll get ‘up’ early and see what the weather is doing at 05.30;  if all is good I’ll go out on the bike.   Alice has informed me that her birthday cake needs to be eaten; and ...yes.. I have volunteered

Grange Road from the 17th tee.

to help her.   That’s the mission for tomorrow.

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
