Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

14th June 2023 (Wednesday)      07.30....We have a quiet and peaceful start to


the day: and I have been for the paper (in the car).... and ‘roond the Ferry’ on the bike, enjoying what is for me the best part of the day.    There was a bit of early morning mist but that is being burnt off and we should have a hot afternoon.    I had hoped for a clear photograph of the cruise ship ‘Viking Venus’ as she went up the Firth to Newhaven (Edinburgh).... but it was too misty for a clear photo.   However I got a few photos to play with.




20.45    It’s been a lovely, bright and sunny, day... and hot (24C) in the afternoon.   Too hot for me;  but I’m sure most folks would be enjoy the hot summer sun.   I’m enjoying early mornings.... a siesta in the afternoon and a potter around in the evening.

This morning I cleaned the windows;  with the window cleaning kit that Michael bought me.    It’s really effective;  and I’m now converting an old window cleaning thing to do the wee panes on the kitchen windows.   This saves me climbing the step ladders;  something that I am not too keen on nowadays.   There’s no doubt that COVID has been a life changer for many people.... including me.   We’ve just got to adapt.... hence the new way of cleaning the windows.

'Viking Venus' leaving the Firth.
I checked the bike gears by having a trial run round ‘The Ferry’ and they seem to be working OK:  I might try a longer run tomorrow.   

This morning I’d hoped to get a clear photo of ‘Viking Venus’ on her way up to Newhaven (Edinburgh) but it was too misty;  however it’s a lovely evening so I went to Nana’s Seat and  got a few of her leaving the Firth on her way to Kirkwall (Orkney).

I don’t have plan for tomorrow; I thought it was the Colinsburgh light lunch tomorrow but it’s the following Wednesday (21st).   The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘more of the same’ so I’ll get up early, have ‘50’ during the heat of the day, and be active in the evening.

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
