Lovely morning ...

9th November 2023 (Thursday)   08.30.... It's a bright and breezy morning;  perfect morning for


being out early for a walk... or on the bike.   This is 'jab' day for me (Randolph Wemyss 14.22);  so I will get back on the bike soon.   This morning I'm going to visit Alice, who lives not far from the Randolph Wemyss, before going for the 'jabs'.  'You will be interest to know that 'Port Servicer' is chugging her way across Largo Bay making for Elie.  I'm going to have breakfast.

20.00   The 'Randolph Wemyss' Waiting Room was full of Elie and Earlsferry folk that had been vaccinated and were waiting the regulation time before making for their transport to go home.   Alice and I met Marcia coming out.  When I got back home I found a message on the answer machine from Marcia, telling me that she was going to be at the Randolph Wemyss;  however I was doing a wee bit o' shopping (fruit that I forgot yesterday) before meeting Alice then going for the jab.   I was in Leven when Marcia phoned, so missed her phone call.   Sorry aboot that Marcia and "Thank You" for phoning.   Actually I didn't realise there was some kind o' system for the jabs, with groups of people from one area, going to Vaccine Centres at the same time.   I thought it was totally random.   Apologies to whoever does organise the Vaccination Centres; it actually, in my case, works.


Anyway the 'jab' session with Nurse Carole was a dawdle.  'Carole' looked at my muscles and said "they looked like the should be on a 35 year old";  I said "hey had been on a 35 year old 50 years ago".   So far, apart from being sleepy (nothing new there) I feel fine.   I'll take a couple o' Paracetemol with my bedtime drink and have an early night.

The stonemason's have made really amazing progress; I thought that the 'stone cladding' would take a couple o' months, but it looks like it could be done by Christmas.... assuming the weather is good.... which it is going to be tomorrow.

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

 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
