Bonnie, frosty morning .....

22nd January 2017 (Sunday) ..... 09.00      Jings, I must have been tired last night, I seemed to sleep forever!    Anyway I eventually wakened up to a frosty,

with fog in the valleys etc, bonnie, if cold, morning .... which should turn into a nice day.     Going by the lack of activity, and sound, everyone is having a ‘lie in’ this morning .... even the ‘dawg’.      
I’ve been looking at the “Fife Weather” webcams and it looks grey and overcast in Fife .... which would make for interesting photos from the beach. .... but not quite as cold as it is here in “Sunny Sussex”.     I don’t know what ‘the plan’ is for today, though the ‘Troops’ will be have to go back home at some point..... hopefully the fog, which doesn’t appear to be too bad, will have cleared away by then.

22.30     The ‘Troops’ left just before lunch, Emily and John back to Somerset, and ”JB” to Pevensey..... after what was a really  nice ‘family’ gathering.     “JB” is

picking me up tomorrow morning and we’re going down to Brighton for a few hours.     The weather forecast for tomorrow is... ‘early fog, with bright spells coming across later’;   I’m hopeful that it will bonnie when we’re in Brighton.
‘Today’ has been bonnie, but cold;   in fact the frost never lifted in the shade.     I had a ‘lazy day’ though I did get out for a walk to stretch my legs, in the afternoon.
Julie and Bob visited in the afternoon, closely followed by Colin.     Colin is off to Spain for a five week holiday soon....  I think he is leaving on Tuesday.    We had a quiet, but nice ‘chatting’ kind of afternoon.    Funnily enough I am tired, and will be glad to get orf to bed.

It appears that USA President Trump is using George Orwell’s novel, ‘1984’ as his ‘How to’ guide, when it comes to the running the USA:    politics is set to be very different, and full of surprises, for the next few years.

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
