Bright and breezy (so is the weather)....

27th  May 2023 (Saturday)     08.00....  ‘Sunny intervals with a fresh breeze'

Cruise ship 'Queen Victoria'.

  is our weather forecast for today.... and the fresh breeze is from the West and, though frisky, won’t have that harsh Easterly feel to it.   That said we are only going to get one day’s respite (from the East wind).... the wind is going back to East again tomorrow.   Anyway we have a bonnie, bright and breezy day today;  I’m feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready for a ‘play’ day.

22.00  With the weather being ‘sunny and warm kind the villages have been busy.... and will be much the same tomorrow;  though it might be cooler on the beach if the wind is off the East as it is forecast to be.

I had an enjoyable few hours in the company of Alice, who arrived off the 11.00 bus.  When I went to Elie to meet the bus there was a notice on the kirk gate advertising a Coffee Morning in the kirk hall.... but it was too late to go to that....the  bus Alice was on arrived about 11.35 (it left Leven at 11.00).   However I’d been at the Baker’s to buy goodies.... and I met Myra who had been to the coffee morrrrning and had bought me ginger bread.   I must make an attempt to get back into the habit of going to the coffee morning’s again.


After a ‘lite bite lunch Alice and I sat in the Hutte and chatted about the local history of  Elie and Earlsferry....  and Buckhaven and Methil.  We then had another cuppa before I took Alice along to Elie to catch the bus back to Leven.

Back at Ivy (I’d moored the car at the Toon Hall) I sat down to have a cuppa and fell sound asleep.   When I woke up I was starvin’ so had a bite to eat before doing a wee bit drawing.   Since then I have had a migraine, been down to the car... and home by way of the beach.   David was out at his creels and the Cunard cruise ship ‘Queen Victoria’ was leaving the Firth, having been at Newhaven (Edinburgh) for the day.... and the beach was busy.

I’m going to make a fresh cuppa then get ready for bed, after a busy and enjoyable day.


   ‘Nae plan’ for tomorrow but I’ll bike along for the paper early.... because the roads will be busy later.

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
