Sunny Sussex morning .....

17th January 2017 (Tuesday) ..... 09.00      Half  an hour ago I was thinking “that’s a successful mission completed;   “Bonnie”, pilled, fed and watered;  now I can fire up the laptop”.    I ran upstairs grabbed the computer, and, .... downstairs again ... having  checked my Inbox , I suddenly remembered that I had yet
Sussex sunrise
to ‘pill and breakfast’ myself.    That has been remedied , now both Bonnie and myself are ready to face the day.

We have a bonnie “Sunny Sussex” this morning, and I might take a daunder ‘downtown’ later .... it all depends on the auld bones  operating in  a fluent manner.  
22.30     It has been ‘wall to  wall’ “Sunny Sussex” today.... a really beautiful day.   Bonnie and I spent a bit of time in the garden, but I didn’t go ‘downtown’ .... it would have taken me a long time to creep back up the hill!     This bug certainly does ‘take the pins from you’.    Tomorrow is forecast to be much the same as today ‘bright, sunny and cold’ though it may cloud over later in the afternoon.     

I watched our Prime Minister, Theresa May, delivering her “Brexit” speech at Lancaster House today ....  not the most exciting stuff to watch, but important for the future of the UK... and Scotland’s part in it.    I looked on this as being part of the ‘R and R’ re the ‘bug’;   however  I didn’t feel any ‘better’ at the end of the speech so perhaps I should have found something more therapeutic to watch.     “Sooper Dawg” slept through it!

Sussex sunset
With the weather forecast being ‘good’ for tomorrow I am doing a washing, which I’ll hang out in the sun.    The washing won’t dry much, because there’s little in the way of wind forecast, but it will at least get a touch of fresh Sussex air.     I will make a serious attempt to go downtown at some point during the day....I suspect it will be a long slow walk.... especially on the way home;   I need some fresh Sussex air too!

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
