Nice fresh morning .....

24th August 2023 (Thursday)     08.30 .... the  light rain we had overnight


 has cleared away to give us a bonnie morning, albeit with a cool  Autumn morning air.    ‘Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’ is today’s weather forecast for KY9.... with the slight chance of a shower in the afternoon; a good ‘drying day’.   It was raining when I first looked out so I haven’t been out on the bike yet; I’ll leave that until the afternoon now.  

21.00    On my way to Alice’s this morning I thought that we’d have a wander to Leven Beach:  two things stopped that happening .... the tide was in and Alice has a sair knee.   We had a cuppa and chatted about knees .... I did my best to cheer her up by talking of knee replacement.   That didn’t seem to work!   No... Alice probably has a sair knee because she was at an afternoon disco with the ‘special needs’ folks that she cared for before she retired.   She still keeps, not only in touch, but still helps them when required.  She is a happy girl is Alice.


Although this has been a bonnie day.... there was something in the air that didn’t agree with my breathing so I never went out on the bike.   I watched the World Championships and did some drawing instead so Thursday has been a busy and happy day for ‘the boy’.

I’ve been taking photographs of Chapel Green since the work on Chapel Green House was finished;  and uploaded some of them onto my FB page.... and the Elie and Earlsferry photos page, bringing ‘mixed’ comments.   What do I think?    Yes I liked the ‘old’ Chapel Green House....but I also like the ‘new ‘Chapel Green House.   Yes, it’s modern and completely ‘different’ from its predecessor....and, unless someone tells me different, it is also unique to the whole of the East Neuk because of the ‘stone’ walls (slate in fact).  

There is no doubt that the East Neuk is changing... and changing at a faster rate than


ever.   Houses don’t bother me to much ....it’s demographic change I worry about.    

Tomorrow is going to be another day of ‘mixed’ weather....‘light rain showers and a gentle breeze’.   I like gentle.   This apparently is a holiday weekend;  so I imagine the road will be busy;  they were today!

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
