Lovely, calm morrrrrning ....

17th March 2024 (Sunday)   It's St Patrick's Day so ...."Happy St Patrick's Day" to my Irish friends".... enjoy your Day!

08.15   After a lot of rain overnight we have a lovely calm, Spring morning.... with a mix of sunny spells

Lundin Links golf course.

and light cloud.....and  maybe the odd light shower.    I'm going to visit Alice, have a cuppa then we're going to a Craft Fair in the Old Manor (Lundin Links).   Slight 'Flap On' now.

19.30    I was surprised at the number of craft tables at The Old Manor Craft Fayre:  and the varied crafts on display.  Alice's daughter and son in law were exhibiting but they were the only crafters that I knew.   I don't think 'Fife Craft Association' are active now (Maggie and I were founder members in 1986)... most of the crafters we went to shows with will have retired.   From what was on display I'd say that the craft scene in Fife is definitely getting over the pandemic.... and looking positive.

I Googled 'Fife Craft Association' but they seem to be in abeyance;  'Made in Fife' seems to be active, but not as it was when we were members.   Anyway, we enjoyed our wander round the 'Fayre'  and


bought items.  It was very warm in the Hotel and we had to have a 'coffee break', before restarting the browsing and chatting.   I didn't take any photographs of the Fayre.   

I think that I could call this a 'rest day'.   Tomorrow's weather is 'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze' so I might go roond the villages' on the bike if it isn't too windy;  and call that  'exercise' .   Twenty years ago I'd have jogged up tae Largoward, down to Lower Largo, and home by the beach and cliffs.   Those were the 'good old days'.

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
