Beautiful morning ....

 11th October 2023 (Wednesday)    08.00 ....We have a gorgeous Autumn morning;  the air is cooler (more


where it should be at this time of year), but not as cool as it is forecast to be at the weekend!    I haven't been for the paper yet, but the washing is on the line (it's a good drying day)....and I am feeling much friskier; the after effects of my trips to the attic are wearing off.  I'll go for the paper after this update... and another cuppa (got to keep hydrated... even in the cooler weather).

I was watching a lassie being interviewed on the BBC News last night (I don't remember her name) and she said there are no winners in a war.;  and she is right.  That said the Arms manufacturers and dealers are laughing their way to the bank.... in every war.   (They have much to answer for).  There's too much hatred being stirred up around the world: and we can't un-invent the guns and and bombs... with all the weaponry around the world  we'll probably blunder WWIII.  The human brain should be better than that.

09.30    I've been for the paper  and had breakfast;  my next mission is to The Store in Ainster, then on to Crail to have run around in the car.   Oh her (car) name is 'Myrtle'!


11.30   I enjoyed a browse round The Store this morning... and managed to get everything I wanted, but had to skip the Crail part of the plan, because I bought frozen stuff.   I have a dental appointment tomorrow morning so I'll do Crail after that.

I came home by way of Kellie Castle and Arncroach because I thought it would be quieter:  it was.... but I don't think any of the East Neuk back roads are really quiet now.   I've just remembered that I have to put the bike battery on charge.


15.00   The washing has dried ... and been ironed;  actually I think I deserve a cuppa for all the 'work' I've done!   The bike battery should be nigh on fully charged by now;  I don't intend going out on it again today, but I am thinking of a longer trip in the next day or so;  depending on the weather of course.   Orf to put the kettle 'on'.

20.00    It has been a lovely day;  I enjoyed my run to the Store in 'Myrtle';  she could be a nippy mover,


but I'm getting the hang of her... and can well contain her enthusiasm. .   Tomorrow I am in Ainster (again) .... this time for a dental appointment at 09.20.   It has to be in the morning because I'm too tired in the afternoons.  I might go to Crail then hame by the 'back road to Higham Toll, then Largoward, Balcarres and Colinsburgh.

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
