Lovely morning ....

1st May 2023 (Monday)    08.30.... we have a ‘bright, sunny and warm morning


with a light breeze; a bonnie morning for the last day of the ‘Scarecrow Festival’.   Light rain showers are forecast for the afternoon.;  and the breeze, from the West just now, is going to veer to the East and freshen.   And .... the garden thermometer is at 12C just now!

12.30    I was feeling ‘good’ and  managed a wander onto the beach this morning....my breathing was ‘good’ with the wind being from the West.  There was a bonnie ‘light’ (and clouds) about so I have a load o’ photos to ‘play with this evening.  The golf course was busy, with brightly coloured golfers all over the course.  It’s a bonnie morning for doing the ‘Scarecrow Trail’. 

19.45    The morning was the better part f the day as far as the weather went;  as predicted it clouded over in the afternoon and we caught at least one shower (I fell asleep for about an hour), but it has been a pleasant day, most of the time, for doing the ;Scarecrow Trail’.   And I saw a lot of families going around the Ferry doing just that.   As for me my only exercise was my morning daunder to the beach.   Since then I have been ‘working’ around Ivy.   By ‘working’ I mean sitting in The Hutte drawing;  and I did


a wee bit o’ ‘ousework.  I suspect that I overdid the ‘walking’ this morrrning 'coz I  now feel stiff and sore.   Tomorrow is  a ‘rest day’... (I keep thinkin’ that at night, then immediately forget about it in the morning).   Ye Gods.... when I think of the distances I’ve walked, jogged, ran .... and biked without after effects.  Growing older comes with a lot o’ attachments right enough.  I must admit that I enjoyed my morning walk;  a hot chocolate and an early night in bed with my book, should ave me ready to ‘go’ again tomorrow.  

‘Light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast for us tomorrow;  with no


mention o’ precipitation.    The wind is going to be from the Easterly direction... so it’s unlikely to be as warm as it was this morning when I was out.  My ‘plan’ (for tomorrow) is to get ‘up’ bright and early to go for the paper (in the car) and to hopefully intercept the postie when he’s emptying the Toll Green Post Box.   After that I’m having a ‘rest day’.   Maybe.

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

 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
