Lovely morning ....

30th September 2023 (Saturday)      09.30    There’s nae wind!     It’s misty,


but peaceful.... and the sun should break through before midday.   I went for the paper (in the car because I was out of milk) and visited the harbour.... now I am ready to play, watch the golf intermittently.....and work(?).    ‘Work’ will be making a batch of Melting Moments.   That’s the ‘plan for today; now I’ll have another cuppa, then birl round the villages on the bike.



16.00   Although the sun never broke through for any length of time, it has been a pleasant enough day.  I eventually went out on the bike;  up to and through Elie Estate then home by way of Elie and Chapel Green.   With the trees overhanging the road, going through the Estate was like biking through a dark green tunnel;  and a popular one.   As expected, the loch was like a mirror so good for
reflections ....but not as good as it would have been had the sun broken through.   It was bonnie in a quiet way.... so I was enjoying myself.  The tide was in at Elie so I got a few more reflection shots before going up to Chapel green; I didn’t go to the harbour as the Toft road was busy.  I think this is the Fife holiday weekend so the villages could be busy with day trippers; if the weather is fine.



18.30   I didn’t get the Melting Moments done;  I got all the ingredients and baking trays organised;  but the golf was too exciting, to go and work in the kitchen.   Tomorrow is the last day of golf so the Melting Moments will be done on Monday.

I see that the rain has arrived ..... and might still be with us first thing tomorrow


morning;  the forecast isn’t that exciting for Sunday.... ‘drizzle and a moderate breeze’ in the morning, and the chance of sunny spells in the afternoon.    I’m going to visit Alice in the morning;  she was at Gretna Green with  her daughter and son in law (Theresa and Sandy) 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
