Bonnie mornin' .....

4th March 2024 (Monday)    08.30.... It's a lovely mornin'.  There was a light touch of frost earlier


but it rapidly went with the rising of the sun at 06.54.... this could be a 'play day'.   I should really do some 'work'.... like clean the windows;  in fact I might do that in the afternoon.   'Blob' and pals have been fed, and the porridge is in the micro .... oops... the pan.... and the kettle is hot.   

18.30   It was a lovely morning so I decided to have a run along to Methil in the morning and have morrrrrrrrning coffee with Alice.   We had 'mc and cake' then sorted out the planet, and had a look round Alice's garden (which reminded me that I too have a garden).  By the time we'd done all that it was lunch time... and Alice had been making Scotch broth!    we had after lunch coffee before I made my way back to 'The Royal Burrow'.   The workmen are clearing the roadside ditch across from North lodge (Elie Estate) but they let us (two cars) through.   I suspect they might still be there tomorrow.

Recently renovated 'Katherine Bank'.

Back at Ivy, and after a catnap that lasted nearly an hour, I had a cuppa, then, because it was a lovely afternoon I biked up to Chapel Green.   There was a moderate SE breeze so not overly warm.  However I was well togged up and the only part of me that was cold was my nose.   If I was a dog I'd be a healthy one!


22.30    I couldn't believe my luck.... I decided to watch Episode 1 of a new crime thriller set in Brighton.  DCI Grace is the main man, but the exciting bit is that the area it covers takes in Lewes, Crowborough, Uckfield Newhaven and loads of places around Brighton that I know.     I'm not a great TV watcher but will watch all the Episodes of this.    As soon as they mentioned Uckfield and Lewes I was hooked!

I've had an enjoyable day today;  tomorrow I'm going do some 'work' around Ivy.   Might even clean the
windows;  I've been threatening to do that for a few days.   Weather permitting I'll have a short run on the bike.   'Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze (SE)' is the weather forecast .... with the chance of light precipitation at round about sunrise.

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
