Battle ....


14th February 2019 (Thursday) .... 08.30   14th February 2019 (Thursday) .... 08.30    "Amor omnia vincit" ..... “I send St Valentine’s Day (((((((hugs)))))) and XXXXXXX’s”  to my FB friends all around the world!”    Have a lovely, and loving,  day.   

 ‘JB’ and I didn’t get back from visiting Jenny and Dave in Battle, until late last night,
Battle - the horse is a 'Cob'.
too late for me , a tired boy, to update the Hutte.   With this cold cramping my activeness  somewhat we only had a quick walk into the centre of Battle  where I took a few photographs, then went ‘home’ to ‘Forge Cottage’... where Jenny and Dave live.   We were surprised to see a horse (a Cob) towing a two seat trail buggy, going round ‘The Green’. 
  
The Windmill at 'Windmill Hill' - from the car.
23.00     ‘JB’ and I have been busy today, having bumbled down to the ‘New Coffee Shop, then sussed out a secret mission.... all before going down to the beach at Pevensey, then into ASDA’s at Sovereign Harbour on the way home.    I’m feeling tired tonight;  this having been the most active day I’ve had in a while.     I’m almost feart tae say it;  but I am beginning to feel better.  
We’ve had a gorgeous day today, and the temperature on the thermometer on the outside wall was at 23c at one time.     The forecast is for this weather to continue for
The sunset sky over Uckfield this evening.
another few days.

‘JB’ and I want to complete our secret mission tomorrow morning;  in fact I think we  have to do it tomorrow:   it’s the school half term next week, and our ‘workplace’ will be overrun with young people.

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
