Sunny and warm ....

11th May 2024 (Saturday)    10.00 .... We have another sunny and warm 'play day', and, because I


was feeling frisky I biked down to the harbour.   The sea was like a mirror so I got myself a few reflection photos: the tide was on the ebb, so we will have a huge beach now!  It's a bonnie day for the beach and it will be busy.  I might have another turn out on the bike after morning coffee;  it takes about ten days for the legs to get back to fitness after a long break.  

12.00    The 'romantic corner' table has been washed and should be in place, on the patio by 15.00:  I might have afternoon coffee out there about 15.15!



Janice sent me the photo of the Aurora Borealis, as it looked over Uckfield (Sussex);  I imagine the Aurora must rarely be as bright as it was over the South East of England last night.

20.30   This has been another gorgeous day; it had the feel of summer about it.  I didn't go out on the bike in the afternoon... it was too hot!   23C on the garden thermometer.   In fact I had ice cream and afternoon coffee on the patio; much more relaxing than biking!
As we've come to expect on bonnie days like this the villages were busy: I saw numerous walkers on Ferry Road, throughout the day.   It was a great day for doing the Coastal Path.    I'll do the Chapel Green bit tomorrow!

22.30   'JB' is coming up by train for on the 8th June, arriving at Kirkcaldy at 15.10.   It so happens that the new Leven Station opens for business on the 2nd June so I shall moor the car at Leven, and take the train to Kirkcaldy to meet 'JB' off the Aberdeen train, and we'll then get the 15,50 train from Kirkcaldy to Leven.   I could of course take the car to Kirkcaldy but I fancy using the new rail link.... and it removes the stress of driving.    The 'plan' may change;  I might fancy driving to Kirkcaldy!

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
