Early morning fog ....


22nd February 2019 (Friday) ...09.30     Yesterday afternoon I walked round to Leeann and Martyn’s, taking a wrong turning on the way and walking about twice the distance that I should have;  however I enjoyed the exercise..... and was in plenty of time to enjoy food and goodies at Sully’s party.... and to have a blether.    I very nearly took another wrong turning on the way home, but found the ‘twitten’ I was looking for and was back on track, and well on my way to “No 1”.

This morning we have fairly thick fog but it is warm, and it will be a bonnier day once the fog lifts..... which it is starting to do now.    I’ll go for a wander when the  sun breaks through.


17.30     Michael and ‘JB’ set off for Bournemouth about an hour ago:   they are going to John’s (Emily’s fiancée) stag party.    It’s a case of driving down there today, doing ‘man things’ tomorrow, then c home on Sunday..... ready for work on Monday.    They might have the odd refreshing drink.
The early fog we had cleared away about 13.00, and it has been a lovely afternoon.    I did the ‘round the block’ walk, taking in the local Tesco’s shop in the passing.... where I bought toothpaste .... and, ‘needed like a hole in the heid’ ..... Mr Kipling Almond slices.
I’ve had a quiet afternoon;   actually not really.     Janice brought Darcie back with her (they had been to Eastbourne shopping), and Jeanette arrived so we had a spell of playing with Darcie before I had to abandon that and go up to my room to have ‘50’.   

The sun is beginning to set on what is a quiet Uckfield;   .... which is surprising because there are cars, being driven rapidly (and usually impatiently), all over the place.    Nobody browses their way along the roads here.    I’ve managed to waken up again, so I’ll go downstairs and have a cuppa.

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

 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
