Breezy with sunny intervals ....


7th August 2025 (Thursday)    09.30 ....It's a bright and breezy morning;  and I'm feeling "bright and breezy" too!   There's a low chance of a light shower in the morning:  actually when I think about it the light rain that was supposed to water the tubs never made an appearance!    That's a disappointment.
I don't  want light showers now, but, it would be useful if one did come our way.  Low and behold!..... a light shower has appeared right on cue!     I'm a happy boy.  l'll hang the washing out after the tubs have been watered!


11.00   The tubs have been watered and the washing is on the line;  the next mission is to get the buggy battery on charge.   I can do that inside it's wee 'garage', without worrying about it being hit by rain. An occasional light shower might come our way, though I don't need one now.

The top photograph is of the Wellington motorway (NZ).   'M' and I were on our way to visit friends in Wellington.

15.00    There's a shower pattering it's way over just now but it's OK;  the washing is in and the buggy sheltered in it's 'den'.   A bit annoying if you're down on the beach though.  I won't go out on 'the buggy' this evening;  not while there's the chance of showers.   I was contemplating venturing to the Broomlees end of Ferry Road for a longer run.   

20.30    The Buggy battery is fully charged and ready for a longer run;  but I won't tackle Elie until after the worst of the holiday season is past.    Going along by 'The Old Post Office' , in a car is an obstacle course at this time.   Anyway the battery is charged up and I will be ready to go up the Ferry Road sometime soon;  I feel that I could cope with that.

It has been a lovely day, but  noticed a drop in the temperature when out at the bucket a few minutes ago.


22.15   With this being the height of the holiday season, Elie and The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry are busy villages just now;  it's good seeing the villages being enjoyed by visitors, and I enjoy meeting folk from different places.  

Tomorrow I'm going to Leven and Methil to annoy Alice and go shopping.   Alice was at Glasgow today
with the Methil History Society, so she will have much to tell me.
I've enjoyed the last couple of 'rest days' pottering around Ivy;  doing things slowly.   I'm looking forward to going out and about on the scooter once the streets are quieter.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...

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...
