Bonnie morning ....

 17th June 2024 (Monday)    08.00 .... We have a nice morning;  warm in the sunshine, but there are


clouds around... and light rain showers are forecast.   I hope the 'light' showers are lighter than yesterdays 'light' showers;  some of which were verging on the deluge kind of shower!   

21.00    'JB' is back in 'Sunny Sussex' .... where the weather is much the same as here in 'Sunny Fife'...... but warmer.   We left later than intended but didn't suffer any major holdups and arrived at Kirkcaldy with 7 minutes to spare.   Loads o' time!   I was in 'Major Flap On' mode until we were actually stood staunin' on the platform.    The platform was busy with passengers for the London train;  and it was busy with a big group of school children going out on the next train.    The kids were happy;  they sounded like a huge flock o' Jackdaws after a cat.    I made my way back to the car, then took the Coast Road to Alice's for a much needed relaxing cuppa.   Having enjoyed the cuppa we then went to what remains of Buckhaven Harbour.   I always unwind with the camera in my hand.... and it was a 'bonnie sky' morning so I got myself a few photos to play with .... probably tomorrow.


Back at Alice's we had lunch and a mug o' coffee before going to Leven.   Alice was taking the bus over to S Andrews to visit a friend in the Hospital;  so we went down early to have a look round the Levenmouth  Station.    A train was getting ready to leave for Edinburgh while we were there, and we then had the platform to ourselves after it went.   I dropped Alice off at the exit to the Bus station the made my way back home.   The remainder of the afternoon was spent 'resting'.


The washing I hung out this morning got as extra rinse with a heavy shower but... and this surprised me; it was dry when I went to take it in.   I'll iron it after this update.

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
