Lovely morning ....

13th August 2025 (Wednesday)    08.45 .... I decided to get 'up' and out (in the car) before 06.00

this morning, to go to the harbour and get a few early morning photographs before it becomes too hot and humid.   There is a touch of 'autumnal mists' this morning, not unexpected at this time of the year..   What I wanted was reflections;  and, with hardly any breeze, the tide in, and calm water ....  I got reflections.   There was another surprise;  'His Nibs' (heron) posing on Apple Rock.   It was a good morrrrrrrrning for the camera.    

20.30    This has been the hottest day so far, 28.3C on the patio thermometer.   The patio is a suntrap but it was unbearable in the middle of the afternoon.   I went out to check the thermometer, because it was warn even inside.   I'd left the back door open so the heat was coming in!   

I've been tidying up outside (in the morning and later in the afternoon.   Apart from sweeping the leaves off the steps and dumping them in the bucket,, I didn't do anymore pruning to the ivy.   All the paint sheets have been folded and put away;  as is the cover I used for the scooter, before it got it's ''shed'.

The time for me to go out on The Buggy is first thing in the morning;  as I did with the car this morning.    The buggy has a range of 32 miles on a full battery, which takes in all the places I want to go.  Kinneuchar being the furthest:  and always have coffee with Shona in Kinneuchar.  

22.00    There's a slight chance of showers overnight, and, as there's a Yellow Warning effective from midnight to 22.00 tomorrow, for thunder, the showers could be heavy.      I watered the tubs earlier so don't need any showers!

It's forecast to be another 'hot and humid' afternoon tomorrow;  this suggest that tonight could be another restless night because of the heat.   Don't get me wrong;   I'm enjoying the good weather, but it's just too hot, for this 'mature' person.

It was peaceful at the harbour this morning.   'His Nibs' was at peace with the world, and there was a
flock of migrating swallows feeding over the harbour.   Migrating south in this weather?   Not the best 'plan' with all the wild fires on the continent.   The photo on the right shows a few of them resting on 'Doubloon'.

I got the bike out in the evening, only to discover that the battery needs to be charged.    That will be done sometime tomorrow. afternoon.

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...

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 ...
