Feeling lively ....

13th March 2024 (Wednesday)    08.00 ....The auld bones aren't exactly enthusiastic this

The 'Elie road - minus trees on the West side.

morrrrrrrning: However, once they start to cooperate with each other we'll be ready to go 'oot tae play'.   The weather is of the slightly damp kind just now, but the sky has a more promising look than it's had for the past few days.... (there was a big bloo patch towards the south earlier) and sunny spells are meant to come our way after midday.   The old saying.... "a clear sooth drooned the plooman"... means more rain to come.   After the sunny spells!

10.00   I haven't been out and about but I have done some 'ousework... not much, but enough to claim that I have actually done something.   I'm sort of hoping to go out on the bike when the sunny spells do arrive because the air is reasonably warm.... and we like warm.   The sky has an interesting look with 'bloo' bits starting to drift over.   In the meanwhile my arm muscles would benefit from the effort of lifting a mug o' tea!





19.00     My word... Spring has arrived.   The weather turned very Spring like this afternoon.... and I was feeling in the need of some exercise so went up to Broomlees on the bike to photograph the West side of the Elie road (A917).   The trees have been removed because they are old and past it;  unlike me I'm old and still trying to reach 'it'.... whatever 'it' is!   It was really good to be out on the bike again.... and the battery is being charged up for a longer run.   I'm not sure when that will be because the weather that's forecast for the next few days is ....not bike friendly if the forecasters have got it right.

I have no intention of going out on the bike tomorrow;  I am going to have a VIV (Very Important Visitor).   Emily and John are coming up to attend a funeral and they are bringing Henry, my

Irene and Andrew.

Great Grandson, for a cuppa.  The camera lens will be cleaned... and a fully charged battery in the camera.  The reason for them being here is sad, but I am looking forward to seeing Henry... and Em .... and John.

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
