Lovely morning ....

23rd August 2023 (Wednesday)      08.30 ....  We have an almost wall to wall

Mr 'B' on Sundance.

blue sky, with only a light breeze; a lovely start to the day.... and a perfect day for ‘gaun oot tae play’.   I am in “slight flap on” mode; today's mission being a trip to Leven (shopping) after breakfast.... and another cuppa.

19.15    The shopping mission was reasonably enjoyable.... there was a pre-COVID ‘retail therapy’ feel about it.  I got everything I wanted .... and some things I ‘wanted’ but did really need.  ‘Goodies’!    I couldn’t go to Alice’s as she was going out in the morrrrrning;  I had morning coffee at home.

After putting the messages away I watched the World Championships while having the aforementioned ‘morrrrning coffee, before doing some ‘work’.   I’m pleased with the way the Kinneuchar Project is coming along, and enjoying being useful (to myself) again.

the 'new' Chapel Green House.

In the evening I went up to Chapel Green to get a few photos of the green from Maggie’s seat.... and other viewpoints.... now that work on the ‘Chapel Green House’ site is finished... for my archive.  The only noticeable change is of course the new ‘Chapel green House’.   I got round to thinking while sitting on Maggie’s Seat that someone might take a photo from Maggie’s Seat (if it’s still there) in a hundred years and the photo will look more or less the same as the one I took this evening.   I have put one of the old Chapel Green House that has been photographed for the past hundred years.

I spotted Mr ‘B’ out on Sundance.... and ‘Sundance’ has a new set of sails.   When I think about it this was a good evening for a sail;  Steve  (Mr ‘B’) was pottering around the harbour area when I saw him, but I imagine he would go out into the Firth once he got the sails up.

22.30    I’m well ready for bed tonight after a busy and satisfying day.   Tomorrow I’m

The 'old' Chapel Green House.

going to Methil to ‘annoy’ Alice; I’ve done the shopping so we won’t have to do that.... Alice does her main shopping of Friday with her daughter Karen.

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
