Heavy hail first thing ....

5th January 2017 (Friday) ..... 10.30     Happy me/us .... we have a blue sky moving over, after a morning of heavy hail and rain showers.     In fact I woke up to the noise of hailstones on the roof and wondered what it was.... everything was white for a wee while.    Anyway all that has gone, and we have a sunny Sussex again .... and

colder.   I’m in two minds whether to do a washing .... it looks being dry, but I need a bit more of a breeze.
16.30    We’ve had a lovely end to the afternoon;   and I did my washing, which is near enough dry, and will be ironed after I have a cuppa.    Janice is off down to Brighton, with her friend Janette, to take in the ‘Holiday on Ice’ show, ‘JB’ is working, leaving Bonnie i/c Michael and I.    Actually Michael won’t be home for a wee while so I’ll do the ironing first.    

I got caught in the local ‘school run’ when out for my afternoon walk;  there’s a College and Primary School adjacent to each other, so the school run is busy.... and twice a day.    Of course I had crossed over to the ‘wrong’ side of  London Road, .... and had to get back to the other side eventually.   Luckily a school bus came along and held the traffic up.
21.00    I’m a contented boy tonight, having managed to get a washing done, and ironed.    After Tuna Pasta bake for dinner, Michael and I watched an interesting programme  about the “Cambridge Spies”, the first episode of which had been recorded;  the second episode comes on ‘live’ in half an hour. 
  
Depending on what the weather is like, we may go out somewhere, either tomorrow or Sunday .... whichever is the better forecast.   As things are it looks like being Sunday, which is forecast to be sunny and cold:  but not as cold as up in Fife.


Must ‘go’ .... slight ‘flap on’ ..... Episode Two (of “Cambridge Spies”) will be coming on in a few minutes!

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
