If it wisnae dark I would be in 'sunny Sussex'...


21st January 2019 (Monday) .... 21.00     Myra, and Jim, delivered ‘The Boy’ to Kirkcaldy  Station this morning, and aforementioned ‘boy’ is now ensconced in
Pre sunrise sky this morning.
Uckfield, in ‘sunny Sussex’, after a pleasant and uneventful train journey.     That said, the train was 25 minutes late in arriving at Kirkcaldy,    This was caused by a local Scotrail train breaking down as it left Aberdeen Station and blocking the main line.... for the afore mentioned 25 minutes.    Of course this meant that the London express was out of sync with the timetable, and had to contend with other trains being in front of it:   for instance, We had to wait at Inverkeithing until a Fife Circle train left the station so that we could go on.    So we never made up any time, and in fact were 50 minutes late when we did arrive at Kings X.    The  food was good, as was my neighbour in the seat opposite ;   a gentleman from the Black Isle, returning to Epsom, where he now lives.    Actually we had two seats each ... because  whoever had booked the other two seats never turned up.
oh ... I  nearly forgot... I managed to go down to the beach this morning to catch the gorgeous sunrise at the Centre of the Universe this morning.     But have yet to look at the photographs.    I’ll update this now .... then check out the photographs.

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
