Broken cloud ....

21st August 2025 (Thursday)     08.00 .... It's a nice, peaceful morning, with a mix of light cloud

and blue sky at present.   There's a cool, ESE breeze just now;  however if the sun burns the cloud off, it could be pleasantly warm in the afternoon.   Must go .... 'slight flap on' this morning;  got Iain's bed to make up.  

18.45     Iain expects to arrive at Ivy about 20.00;  and he has a bed to flop into.   Actually, I've had a busy day, and will be glad to 'flop' imtae my bed tonight.   I haven't been anywhere today:luckily Kirsty came in with a couple of books so we had a good old natter'.   We restart our monthly 'Team Lunch' in September, having had a break of two month's during the busy holiday season.   

22.45   Iain arrived at 19.50 and we've been fed, had cuppas, sorted out the Planet;  and now we're tired after all that.   All is good up at Auchnagatt... and at Ivy.   Michael phoned fro the New Forest and all is good down there too.   It's a pity about the lack of peace loving politicians;  more of them and all would be good with Planet Earth too!   

We have a'plan' for the next couple of days that includes taking 'time out' to visit Gillingshill Nature Reserve.   In the meantime I'm going to make the Horlicks then we'll get off to bed.   Iain will be tired after all the driving;  and I'm tired after all the work(?) I've done today!

I've used a couple of photos I took the other day when down at the Toft on the mobility scooter.    I didn't go  out with the camera today!   I'll make up for that tomorrow.

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...

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.  ...
