Bonnie morrrrrrrrrrning ....

31st October 2023 (Tuesday)    08.00.... it's a nice morrrrning with a chilly, NE breeze;  a good



drying day.  I might do a washing, because it could be a few days before we have another decent 'drying day'.  I don't have plan action for today;  Actually that's wrong because I'm going to wash some towels etc, but I don't have a proper 'play' plan.  The temperature is unlikely to be in double digits so I doubt if I'll go biking.   Actually, that's a bit of a sod, because I'm feeling playful.   I'll put the kettle 'on' .   Oh, nearly forgot; 'Port Servicer' has left Methil and is sailing across Largo Bay.... must still have work to do at Woodhaven.

13.30   I've had a productive morning drawing;  now I'm having an after lunch cuppa before going for a wee run in the car.    I did a washing which to take advantage of the drying win.... and before the wind and rain of the next Atlantic low arrives tomorrow.  Wednesday and  Thursday won't be good drying days.

The roofers are nearly finished with the roof on the new build next door (Ferry Lodge);  I'm wondering if the scaffolding in the back garden will be coming down.  The stonemason will need the high scaffolding on the gable, but I don't think he'll need the lower section (the bit that's in the back garden.


17.15   Would you believe it... the stonemason began delivering the stones to be used for the cladding; so the scaffolding will be coming down soon.   It's all happening next door.   I won't be sorry to see the scaffolding in the back garden go;  it's sort in your face as soon as you go out of the back door.   It's all very exciting watching it happen.






21.00    I had a run out to Woodhaven for a change but it was cold in the frisky Easterly wind.   The villages are still busy with well wrapped up people wandering out to the lighthouse and East Links.  I took a few photographs (of 'Port Servicer' working in the bay, but, with the air being so cold I was glad to get back into the car and back home.  You would have thought that the owners of 'Port Servicer' might have smartened her up a bit before working  off Elie and Earlsferry;  she looks a bit tatty.  And the person that came up with the name didn't 'iggzactly' use much imagination.  I daresay she does the job... and she ain't no chicken.... being built in 1990.   That's 'Port Servicer'  (Inverness) sorted out.

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
