Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrrning.....

26th February 2024 (Monday)    08.30....There's a light frost on the car windscreen, but

Innerleven Gospel Hall.

thatshould rapidly melt with the sun;  so it's a bonnie start to the working week.  It's funny how it always happens at this time..... I'm thinking of having a Spring cleaning sort of day.    I suppose this annual urge goes back many millennia to when the 'cave' had to have a good clear out after a hard winter.    Not that I intend actually doing very much, but I'll begin by cleaning the inside of the windows.   A touch of de- man caving wouldn't go amiss! .... I could de mancave and transfer DVD's at the same time.   I'll have another cuppa before rushing into action.   

11.00    The DVD transferring is moving along .... but the de - man caving is still at the contemplating stage.  I've been doing the kirks that we (Jim and me) recorded and they are proving to be an interesting distraction.   It's morrrrrrrrrrning coffee time.... a good time to be 'distracted'.   I'll upload a couple of photos later to let you see why it's easy to be distracted.    It's a beautiful day but cool; however, I might take a turn round The Ferry on the bike after coffee and bicci.   Must try to remember the  'ousework thing!

Sunset from the 10th fairway.

20.00    I never got round to the windows because I decided to dust, and polish, the mantelpiece and fireplace;  not a big job but fairly tricky with all the things on the mantel piece.   I might get round to the window tomorrow.    

After such a hard working day, I took 'time off' to bike up to Chapel Green about an hour before sunset, for exercise.   It was quiet at that time, but I did notice a few folk were walking on the beach.  I didn't hang around as it was cold, even though there was only a light breeze.  

22.15   I'm happy with today's 'work' and will continue with the Spring cleaning.  Tomorrow is forecast to be damp.... "light rain with a fresh breeze';  so a good day to be pottering around inside Ivy.

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
