Lovely morrrrrrrrning .....

11th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.15 .... We have a lovely morning at Elie and Earlsferry;  there's a

Only 257 days till Christmas!

warm, frisky, South Westerly breeze with a mix of mist, clouds and sunny intervals .... the start of a good 'play day'.    I'm going to make an appointment at the hairdresser, then go to the 'Store' (Ainster) and spend some of 'my' Dividend that has built up over the past few years;  it has to be spent by the 31st of December.   Must 'go' slightly exciting 'Flap On' this morrrrrrrning.

10.30   At 'Store' prices it won't take many visits to 'The Store' to get rid of my accumulated Dividend.   Next week I'm going to do the same shopping list in Bargain Store (Leven) and compare the prices.   That said ... I enjoyed the run along the coast to Ainster;  I didn't go down to the harbour.... but came home by way of Arncroach.   The plan was to use the Colinsburgh Straight but there was a diversion sign at Newton of Balcormo.   I enjoyed the trip home .... and fuelling up the car at Colinsburgh.   The messages have been put away and I'm  now enjoying a cuppa, before loupin' on the bike to go and make an appointment to have my hair cut.


12.30    The streets were quiet when I biked up to Elie to make my haircut appointment;  (which is tomorrow morrrrrrrning).    That mission completed I decided to go up to Kinneuchar and found the main road busier, but not 'Flap on' busy;  so I got a wee bit of exercise ... and a few photographs to 'play' with tonight.   It's windy out but it's a warm wind and I enjoyed the freedom that comes with the bike.



17.15   As is my norm I fell sound asleep about 14.30.... after watching a WWII film based on the bombing of Hanover.   I'm not a great fan of 'war' films, but this had  a few good Lancaster bomber scenes in it and I managed to watch most of it before dozing off.
When out at the gate having a general browse I noticed that the clouds are beginning to have a more threatening look about them;  light rain is forecast to arrive  about midnight and move away by breakfast time. 

.... and before.

22.15   The rain has arrived but isn't very heavy... though heavy rain is forecast.   I enjoyed being out on the bike today and look forward to a longer spell of decent weather so that I can get fit enough to go further afield;  up to Balcarres etc.   Right now I'm going to have my 'orlicks and get off to bed.   I'm looking forward to having my hair cut in the morrrrrrrrning!

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

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

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
