Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

7th January 2024 (Sunday)    10.15   My door bell has it's 'ding' ... and 'dong' back.... but


fitting the batteries is not easy;  however, after a short conversation with said batteries, all is good again.   It's bad enough when you lose your 'dong' but losing the 'ding' too is seriously bad.   I rely on the door bell to wake me up if  catnapping.    

I've been for the paper, milk (and batteries;  plus took time out to visit the 'arbour).   I'm now ready for morrrrrning coffee.


20.30    With Ferry Road going to be 'Closed'  tomorrow (to sort out the flooded sub station), I decided to go to Leven to do a shopping while I could get the car parked at the door.   I don't know how long it will take to sort the drainage at the sub station, but I imagine it will be a few days.   Anyway I won't have to carry heavy shopping  bags for the remainder of this week.


I went up to Alice's for a cuppa, before we both went to Leven (Sainsbury's) to do the shopping.... then back to Alice's where Alice had prepared a stew for lunch;  followed by low calorie Profiteroles for sweet. Yummy.  I then bumbled my way back to Ivy and sorted out the messages before my afternoon catnap.   

This has been a lazy day; at least most of the afternoon was.   I've been watching a 'Shaun the Sheep' film but ... oh dear... it must have been made in America because it's way below the original 'Shaun the Sheep' standard.

I see that The Post Masters (and Mistresses) are finally getting justice, and there's an Official Enquiry into how it all happened:  (it will be interesting to see what that comes up with).   If it hadn't been for Mr Bates they (the Post Office) would have got away with it.  

The weather for tomorrow looks like being much the same as today's was;  I think I'll have a 'work' day

The 'Old' and  the 'new'.

around Ivy:  and I should have some activity up at the sub station.   Could be a busy day for me.

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
