Nice morning ....

30th July 2025 (Wednesday)    08.00 .... There's the cool, fresh feel of Autumn in the early morning

air;   quite chilly in fact.   However, once the sun gets going, we're to get sunny intervals with a light SW breeze.... and hot in the afternoon.    Much the same weather as yesterday.   There's a big patch of blue sky moving in from the West, and give the sun a chance to warm up the patio!

19.30    It has been another bonnie, and busy day.   In the morning Michael and Janice went to 'The Store' to do some shopping;  and I began to tidy up the patio.   After lunch Michael put a string of solar lights  to light up the steps and patio;  they then went to Leven to buy a fancy plug to charge up a set of 'temporary' hearing aids that Michael bought, for me,to use, until I get my NHS ones in January. 

Janice and Michael are off out for a walk round the village.   The are off home to Sunny Sussex tomorrow.  And are having an early night as they have to be at Leven for the 09.15 train.  They've had a busy holiday and will be glad of the rest on the train.   Janice stocked up my fridge with food so I won't need to do a big shopping for nigh on a week.   I'm going up to 'annoy' Alice after the train departs.   I also need to go to the shops for something;  right now I can't remember what it is.   It seemed vital when I first thought of it!

I've been tired all day;  in fact I slept on top of the bed for an hour in the afternoon.   Michael and Janice have been busy ... and so have I, with the paint brush mostly, so I can claim that it I have done some 'mild work'   It's the hot weather that really tires me.

I think we shall all be in bed early tonight because of the early start in the morning.   I was late in bed

last night;  that might explain why I am so tired today;  that and the 'mild work' I did.   And don't forget the hot afternoon.   No wonder I'm tired.

22.15    We're all off to bed after another busy day.   I'll miss the Troops, but will enjoy the 'fruits of their labour', that's for sure.   

Janice took the photo of the patio solar lights.  they bring the patio to 'life'.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and f...

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
