Bright and breezy....

29th February 2024 (Thursday)    08.45.... We have a bonnie morrrrrrrrning;  an excellent day

'Toby' and Bonnie'..... on the mooch. (2010)

for doing a bit o' the Coastal Walk.  If the wind moderates I might do the Chapel Green bit at sunset time.  I'd do it just now as I'm in a 'go out and play' mood, but it's to windy.... and, anyway, it's breakfast time.

10.00   Kirsty phoned to remind me that we are going to the 19th for lunch; and, we have a new team member ....George (Harvey).   George will bring us up to date with all things at the East end of the village.  I'm hungry for both food and info already.   Oh... I have the showers towels to hand out... I'll do that then 'ave morrrrrrrrrning coffee. 


11.00   The 'breezy' bit of today's weather is cauld... there's a definite feel of wintry stuff behind it.   I found that out, when I was hanging out the washing, that we have a brilliant drying wind.... but a chilly one.   I won't be going out on the bike.   I'm looking forward to the 19th and  my monthly 'Fish and Chips' lunch:  there are other, mouth watering, choices but it's  my once a month chance to have proper 'fish 'n chips'.


18.30    We 'The Team' enjoyed our lunch at the 19th.    As ever the food, company and friendly banter made for a happy 'time out'... and our new member fitted in perfectly.   Kirsty brought a book, by Donna Leon, for my bedtime reading;  this was perfect as I finished 'The Dark Island' (written by  by Henry Treece) last night.



20.30    I felt a touch of winter in the air tonight, when putting the grey bucket out.   And the gritter went down earlier.  I'll have my chocolate and and get off to bed with the 'Donna Leon'  book Kirsty put through the letter box.  Donna Leon novels are set in Venice.

Tomorrow's weather is going to be much like todays was;  'bright, breezy and cold'...  with the chance light rain moving in, later in the afternoon.

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
