Bonnie fresh morning ....

16th May 2023 (Tuesday)      

08.00 .... there’s a nice fresh feeling in the air this
morning;  a good morning to be doing the Coastal Path.   Maggie and I did bits of the ‘CP’ but not the whole length;  it’s good to see that it is even more popular now;  and I get a lot o’ pleasure chatting to the CP walkers I meet at Chapel Green.    Changed routine for me now of course, but I’m happy with my more leisurely lifestyle:  that reminds me.... I must go up to Kinneuchar Kirk sometime today.   

12.00    It’s a nice day, but the breeze was cooler than I expected when I went up to Kinneuchar; it’s from the NW.   I got the photographs I needed and had a potter round the arches trying to sort everything out:  there’s the post Reformation ‘cleansing’ to contend with, followed by the building eventually being adapted for the new Protestant religion.

Although all ‘fired up’ when I got out of bed..... I then had a migraine, and that has  curtailed my activities.   I'll most likely fall asleep after lunch.


20.30    It has been a bonnie day but we did catch the edge of a couple o’ showers...and there were a lot of showers all around us so loads of interesting clouds to photograph.   Unfortunately I had my ‘wings clipped’ when  I had the migraine this morning:  there’s nae guid time to have migraine but first thing in the morning is the worst!   It didn’t stop me drawing... but I kept falling asleep;  and that did stop me drawing.

The ‘plan’ for tomorrow?....well ....I normally feel really good the day after a daytime migraine so I might catch up with some of the stuff I’d hoped to do today.   I might go out early (on the bike) for the paper (s) because the weather forecast is good;  ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ (Westerly direction).... in fact I might even do Elie Estate on the way home.   I’m assuming it is going to be reasonably warm first thing.

I’m tired after a reasonably active day so I’ll take a couple o’ pills and have and early


night in bed with my book.  The last few nights I have been sleeping right through;  that’s one thing I’m really good at.... sleeping.

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
