Overcast ....

12th January 2017 (Thursday)...  first full moon of the year.
09.30     Hmmmmm .... we have a ‘completely overcast and definitely not sunny Sussex’
Wild Greater Knapweed flower
this morning.... and it looks like it could be raining on the South Downs;    and that (the rain) is coming our way, in fact the rain may turn to snow showers later if the weather forecast is anything to go by.

I’m feeling brighter this morning, and, might go out for a short walk.... before the rain gets to Uckfield.
22.30     The rain mentioned above arrived at Uckfield at 10.30, becoming heavy rain by afternoon, and turning into snow by evening time.    The forecast is for it to freeze by tomorrow morning, so travelling could be tricky;  including walking on Uckfield’s pavements, very few of which are in fact level!    However the weather forecast for tomorrow is bright, with sunny spells and cold.    At this time the snow is lying, but there isn’t much, however if it does freeze, it makes plan to walk downtown  not be the best ‘plan’ I’ve ever had.

Peaceful Elie  and Earlsferry.
Today I have been recuperating.... with the aid of a “Janice Toddie” .... there’s nae cold germs could survive one of them!    I am already feeling much better, and should be back to ‘normal’ by the weekend.

With me being mostly inactive again today, there’s not much to report;   but I have been browsing some of my earlier photographs... and have loaded three of them, taken in the East Neuk, onto ‘the Hutte’ for today’s photographs.     Tomorrow’s ‘plan’ is on hold until I se the state of the pavements etc.

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
