Lovely morning


5th March 2019 (Tuesday) .... 08.00    The sun is up and shining brightly
Vintage bus for the wedding guests...
.... we have a ‘sunny Sussex’ this morning.    I’m about to bumble down to the shops;  and hopw to be back before ‘JB’ surfaces.   We had thought of going to Ashdown Forest, but the paths will be muddy after yesterday’s heavy showers.... as will be the Buxted Park paths.
I’m ready to travel tomorrow morning;   all I have to do is post my washing!    ‘JB’ is taking me up to KingsX station.

     

Chris, Joyce and Jean at the 'top' Church.
19.00      ‘JB’ and I went to Beachy Head, the Eastbourne this afternoon ;  it was a bonnie day..... but it is raining now.   I think the rain will get me acclimatised for Bonnie Scotland tomorrow;   where it is going to be wet .... and cold with snow on the mountains.

There much activity at the top of the Beachy Head cliffs.... above the car park we normally stop at.... so we moved on to the Belle Tout park.  
I’m ready to travel north arriving at Kirkcaldy at 15.15;  Geoff is meeting me there.    With Jim being unwell, Myra is going to be otherwise engaged.    ‘JB’ and I have an early start tomorrow..... we want to catch the 07.03 train from Uckfield.    That gets us
'JB' with Belle Tout beyond.
into London in time to have a cuppa at Kings X Station.

The next update will be from ‘Ivy’ tomorrow .... most likely late in the evening.    The laptop is going into the case immediately after this update....  I’ll then go downstairs to have a cuppa and a blether.

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
