Bright and breezy .... and, so is Sussex

3rd January 2017 (Wednesday) .... 10.30    We have a bright and breezy morning in Sussex;   much the same as it is in Fife: having looked at the Fife weather
The Cavendish Hotel Eastbourne.
Cams.    It’s a braw ‘drying day’;   welll maybe just too windy.  

I’m going to bumble downtown... as far as the Centre where I’ll have a bowl of soup and a cuppa.    John and I are leaving for Eastbourne about 14.00 so I’ll make a point of being home in plenty of time.
13.00    I meandered my way downtown.... walking 3.56 kilometres (2.2 miles).    I did some shopping in Tesco’s, and, as planned, had vegetable soup, and a roll, in The Centre.   Both Barrie and Ted were working, and the Cafe was busy.    I’m finding the High Street easier this year, but I take it slowly.    Orf down to make a cuppa, and to let out Bonnie.
23.30    Both ‘JB’ and I had successful missions in Eastbourne;   ‘JB’ got his shopping .... I got some nice photographs of the Eastbourne Bandstand, and the area around it.    With the wind, and the wind chill factor, Eastbourne  was really cold, but there’s plenty
Eastbourne Bandstand.
shelter around the Bandstand and promenade;  that said I was glad to get back to, and into, the car.  ‘JB’ had to get back home to “No1”, to make himself ready for the Staff Christmas Party, in Brighton tonight..... so we didn’t have time for coffee.     Luckily we got out of Eastbourne before the rush hour.... and ‘JB’ caught the Brighton bus planned.
No plans for tomorrow morning;   it depends on what the weather is doing really.    It turned colder today, but at least it has been dry, and the wind has dried up some of the water that’s lying in the fields.    Tomorrow is forecast to be cloudy with the chance of rain.


Isn’t it braw how a touch of sunshine makes us feel better.    I’m plagued with a cough

that the recent cold has left me with, but it’s slowly getting better;   though sometimes it doesn’t sound like it.     ‘JB’ was talking of going somewhere tomorrow afternoon but that all depends on how the Staff Party went;   he may have fallen ‘in love’ tonight.

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

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

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
