Overcast ... but dry ....


28th February 2019 (Thursday) ....  09.00   Hmmmm ... I was enjoying ‘wall to wall sunny Sussex’, but , as was forecast, that has all changed this morning , and now we have ‘wall to wall overcast Sussex’ .... in fact it could be ‘wall to wall overcast UK’.  At least it isn’t raining.     As you’d expect it is cooler , and there’s a light wind;   all a bit disappointing after the past couple of weeks, though it is still warmer than it should be for this time of year.   The last couple of weeks have been exceptionally warm/hot;  and enjoyable.


19.00    It may well have not been raining when I wrote the above update.... but it has been a mix of Scotch Mist and rain on and off for most of the day, with a few short sunny spells  in between.   ‘JB’ and I went to Eastbourne, where the weather was slightly better than inland.    We did the shopping, had food in our favourite Italian Restaurant, then went to ASDA’s for a few messages, before going for a run along the coast road to Norman’s Bay.... and somewhere else further along that road.    The weather was at its best at this time.

Tomorrow we travel to Somerset for Emily and John’s wedding on Saturday;  it’s a pity that the weather has broken down;  we could get rain showers on Saturday.    I won’t be taking the laptop with me, but will have the camera, so there will be plenty wedding pictures on Sunday evening.    We drive home on Sunday.

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
