Overcast with spits and spots of rain .....

29th January 2017 (Sunday) ..... 10.00     Hmmmmm ....it’s overcast with spits and spots o’ rain now and again... not “Sunny Sussex” like at all;    that said, it

isn’t cold, in fact there’s a “Spring is around the corner” feel to the air.    If it wisnae for the greyness, and the spits and spots o’ rain it would be a bonnie morning!   I’m i/c downstairs this morning .... even “Bonnie” is having a lie in!   I’ve washed all the glasses etc, had breakfast, and I’m now waiting on the kettle boiling.    Enjoy your Sunday.
23.30     The ‘Troops’, including Bonnie the dawg, emerged at 10.00... they deserved their ‘lie in’ having been ‘up’ until 03.30.    Leeann arrived with “Darcie” for a short visit... and a cuppa.
With the weather deteriorating, by mid afternoon we had heavy rain, I abandoned all idea of going for a walk, and caught up with some e-mails etc.    Marcia sent a photo of ‘my’ beach, taken this morning.... ‘bright and sunny’ with people all over the place!

Very “Sunny Sussex” looking in fact ....  had it been sunny in Sussex!   

I’d say that I have had a ‘restful’ day;   tomorrow I will go out for a daunder, the weather forecast is “cloudy but dry” in the morning, with light rain moving in from the West in the afternoon.    Morning time will be ‘action’ time methinks.    Actually I may go down to the bottom of Uckfield to look at  the “Grant’s Hill House” site, where Lord Lucan was last seen alive.    The house “Grant’s Hill”, was demolished in the 1980’s, and replaced by a ‘Care Home’;   application has been made to have the Care Home demolished and replaced by retirement flats.

Hey .... there is a bit of wind rattling around tonight, .... thankfully the rain has moved

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
