Bonnie sunny morrrrrning ....

24th March 2024 (Sunday)    09.00 .... We have a bright and sunny Sunday morrrrrrrrrring... and


the wind has moderated so it's warmer:  however, the wind is going to veer round to the East by late afternoon and that might bring a change in the weather.... colder and maybe even damp.  I enjoyed a good night of unbroken sleep;  and feel almost playful after a long hot shower to slacken aff stiff muscles.... after a busy  and enjoyable birthday walk round Kellie Castle garden.  I'm thinkin' it's breakfast time.

16.00   The wind has moderated and we have a quiet day now;  apart a light shower o' rain that, unfortunately for me, coincided with my plan to have a walk up to the golf course.    But it's only showers so I'll  have another cuppa then see what's happening.    So far today I have had the 'rest day' that I intended having.   Now I'm beginning to feel playful!   

Although this has been my birthday week I have been keeping up with the News.  Up there, with all the unpleasant news from around the world, was the news from the Princess of Wales that she is having treatment for cancer.  That news came as a total shock to most of the world, but it must have been absolute devastation for the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their young family.  I realise that around the world families have to cope with such news... and do so privately, with courage and dignity, and that the Princess is not alone.  The Princess made the announcement, about her 'nae weelness', herself on the video that we have all seen;  now that took courage of the highest order.  It's probably the most courageous announcement I have ever seen a young woman, with a young family ever do. They, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their young family, and all who suffer from such illness, are in my thoughts and prayers:  The Princess should now be allowed the privacy to get better.

19.30   I eventually had a walk up to the golf course late in the afternoon;  there was a busy sky, and golfers on the course to make interesting photographs.   I don't know what was in the air but my breathing was not good, but that didn't stop me enjoying my short walk with the camera.   I think it is the change in the weather that is the problem;  according to the weather forecasters we're taking  a step back to winter weather! 


22.30    As planned I have had a good 'rest day' .   I did some computer work then sorted out a few more photographs but most of the time I was reading (research).   Tomorrow I am visiting Alice;   the weather forecast isn't very good for tomorrow so a good day to do any shopping if we want to do that.

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
