Bonnie "Sunny Sussex" morning ......


11th January 2017 (Wednesday) .... 09.30    We have a “Sunny Sussex” morning ..... not quite ‘wall to wall’ blue but  near enough;   and it isn’t that cold.     The word ‘cold’ reminds me;   I am in ‘dry dock’ having come down with the cold bug
Afternoon sky.
that’s doing the rounds.    I’d been feeling sluggish for a couple of days, but yesterday the Uckfield braes seemed even steeper, and longer, than usual;  if I do go out today it will be to circumnavigate the top of the hill!
21.00    There is not much to report;  owning to me having spent most of the time in bed.     Janice, bless her for bothering about me, when she has all her own problems to deal with;   but that’s Janice.    She made scrambled egg on toast, and I must admit to feeling ‘better’ after I scoffed it.    I’ll have a Lemsip then get off to bed early;  with a big glass of water on my bedside table.

I never did go out today, though it has been a bonnie day,   having said that the temperature did drop later in the afternoon as per forecast.    “Sunny Sussex” might even have  a few light snow showers over the next couple of days.    I  imagine they will be heavier snow showers up home.

There’s ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow;   originally I was going over to Pevensey, but the way I’m feeling that will have to be cancelled.  My ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to shake this cold orf;   even if it means staying in bed most of the day.

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
