Bright and breezy .....

28th June 2024 (Friday)    08.30 .... After a windy night we have a bright and breezy morning at

Elie and Earlsferry.... but it's cool for this time of year.  The wind is moderating, but it's still F5  going by the white caps on the water.   There's a chance of showers in the afternoon, but I might go out on the bike ..... when it's calmer.    

12.30   I biked up to the Post Box and posted my 'Vote', then up to Chapel Green to 'converse' with 'The Boss'.   I have to do some 'ooverin' and dustin'!   I met a couple from Leven, having a walk round The Ferry, when I was at the post box:  we ended up chatting about when the Co-op was one of the major employers in Leven..... they could both remember their mother's Co-op number!   

22.30    Heather, Ray and Alistair came down for a blether.; so we are up to date with each others 'News'.  One common piece of 'news'' was;  "the weather at Durham has been much the same as the weather at Elie and Earlsferry".

Ferry Road  has been busy today.... which is not really surprising as this is the start of the busy summer holiday period.   I meet a lot of interesting people during the 'oliday season.


I had great plans for doing 'ousework today but fell asleep in front of the tele for nearly an hour.   I'll get 'up' early and run roond wi' the 'oover in the morning.   I did a small washing 'cos it was a good drying wind.... and ironed it.  It may well have been a good drying wind.... it was also a cold wind, certainly colder than it should be.

The  international News has been taken up by President Biden having a poor showing in the USA Presidential debate last night.   He was tired .... at least his brain was tired, ..... and it showed.   At times he was seriously struggling.... and I felt sorry for him having been put in that situation.   

The wind has moderated and is now around F2 - 3.   Tomorrow is forecast to be 'sunny with a fresh breeze' so it shouldn't feel as cold as it has ben today.   I might go out early for the paper in the morrrrrrning to avoid the holiday traffic.... and be back in time to do some 'ousework before Iain and

Hazel arrive.   I'm also making a batch of 'Cottage Pies' for the freezer so could be a busy boy tomorrow.

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
