Peaceful kind of morning ....

 4th January 2024 (Thursday)     08.45.... We have a quiet start to the fourth day of 2024, but


there's a lot of clouds and they bring the chance of light rain with them: however it looks like being a nice enough day, with an interesting sky.  The sun has yet to break through to give us sunny spells.   Time to put the kettle on. 

19.00    The air was warm first thing this morning but the temperature was dropping by mid morning;  and I was feeling the cold when Alice and I went down to Leven  to get a few photographs of the bonnie sky from the prom.   Leven beach was busy with dog walkers mostly... well wrapped up dog walkers.    I must put a warm jacket in the car so that it's there when required.   We didn't stay very long at the prom because this silly boy didn't have a winter jacket.   We went back to HQ where we enjoyed a lunch .... and did more 'sorting out of the world'.   Alice had a busy afternoon ahead;  Lucas, her nephew, was coming to put the Christmas decorations up into the attic.   

Back home at Ivy I made myself a cuppa then promptly fell asleep, for an hour and a bit in front of the tele.  I made a fresh cuppa then sorted out the photos I'd taken at Leven Prom.   There was a bonnie light about' and I am happy with the results.


At 21.00 this evening we have 'Mr Bates v The Post Office' ... that lasts for an hour, then there's break for the News and stuff before we get another programme about Mr Bates v The Post Office' beginning at 23.10- and ending at 05.00.10.   It's going to be a late night for 'the boy'.  I have nothing 'planned' for tomorrow so will manage a few daytime catnaps.







22.45   'Mr Bates v The Post Office' is the most emotive programme I have ever watched;  it must surely win Awards for the Production Team and for some of the actors who played the parts.   It showed the 'jiggery pokery' that goes on at the highest level;  in fact it's very worrying when you see the lengths
'Viking Neptun'.

that the 'high heid yins' will go to!  I'm having my bedtime 'Chocolat' before watching 'The Real Story' at 23.10.

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
