Lovely morning ....

21st September 2023 (Thursday)    08.45   It’s a lovely, ‘bright and

Leven roadworks.

breezy’, morning;  a good drying day.... with no mention of precipitation in the weather forecast.  The air is much cooler than it was yesterday but not overly cauld... I’ll leave any biking until afternoon, when the air should feel warmer.   I’ve hung out a washing, fed 'Blob' and well ready for my own breakfast now.

16.30   It has been a breezy but bonnie day... even though cool when exposed to the wind.   I had a restful few hours with Alice;  I had thought about going to the beach but that was not the place to be today, so we had a cuppa and chatted.... even a former Prime Minister came into the conversation at one point.  We had a bowl of soup and hole made Apple Crumble for lunch followed by another cuppa before I bumbled my way home.

I thought that temporary traffic lights and the associated roadworks, on Largo Road Leven were things of the past;  but there they were this morning.... though I think they might be short term.   Anyway, we had queues; both times I passed through them. I took a photo.

20.30   I’ve enjoyed myself today....a ‘nae flap on’ day: Ye Gods that’s rare.   I have no doubt I’ll find something to ‘flap’ about tomorrow.  Actually I already have something to ‘flap’ about;  I’m thinking about changing the car.  That’s a big decision for me to make on my own;  however a car is almost a necessity living in Earlsferry, especially with the winter coming in.   There you are I am in ‘Flap on’ mode.

I’m uncovering s lot of ‘different’ facts about Kinneuchar Kirk; but I’ll have to sort them out and knit the ones I know are ‘fact’ together.   Thankfully, the Rev Sime sketched the remains of the pre Reformation kirk that was converted for use as a Presbyterian kirk;  and I know what that conversion involved.  Loads o’ reading and drawing to do yet.

I took the latest drawing along to Methil, see what Alice thought of it;  luckily she liked it


so I can begin to finish that one.   I’ll take a break from drawing after that, and concentrate on the writing.

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
