Bonnie frosty morning ....

16th March 2024 (Saturday)     09.00 ....  We have a beautiful frosty start to Saturday;  'Blob'

'Shona'.

looks happier.   I might go out on the bike once the air warms up, but the 'plan' is to have a quiet rest day.... doing whatever comes to mind and right now that's breakfast!    

15.30    We've had a bonnie spell of Spring weather o far today.... so much so that I had thoughts of getting the bike out to go for the paper.   However I was short of milk so went in the car instead.  (Note to me;  I must get a new carrier bag for the bike.   The zip is broken on the one that's there at present).  I met Shona (who I haven't seen since before Christmas) when I was up in Elie, so we had  a good old natter by the Bus Stop.  When I think of it I didn't ask where Shona was heading for, but when we did go our separate ways I came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.  Shona had bought herself a coffee so probably sat in the car to scoff that.   Anyway it was good catching up with her .... and I arranged to have coffee up in Barnyards someday next week.   

Six Nations rugby is on the tele today.... that takes care of the afternoon. 

19.30    Scotland lost 17 - 13 against Ireland in Dublin.... and Wales lost 21 - 24 against Italy at Cardiff.   It was a good way to spend some of the afternoon.   The France v England game is being played just now.   I'll watch that after this update.

I've had a busier day than was planned;  I did a washing and an ironing, but never went out on the bike.  Shona is asthmatic and like me is not going out biking just now.   I must admit I was tempted to go out today, but thought better of it.

Heavy rain is forecast for KY9 tonight, turning to 'light rain' tomorrow morning.   I'm going to visit Alice and we're going to a Craft Fair in the Old Manor.   It will be interesting to see what is happening in the Fife crat world nowadays.   Like most activities it is has taken a while to recover from the pandemic.

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
