Low cloud ....



20th August 2025 (Wednesday)     08.15 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast

sky;  the Lochgelly cam has some promising breaks in the cloud, but the wind is from the East so those breaks are never going to come our way.   We are relying on the sun burning off the cloud.... which it should do soon.  'Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze' is the forecast for today.   I'm feeling 'brighter eyed and bushier tailed' this morning;  which is good because I have things to do before Iain arrives tomorrow.

12.15    The sky is slowly brightening up, with big patches of blue sky to the West of us;  Methil for instance!   We'll have blue sky soon.  

I forgot to tell you about the pillow case ironing!   As usual I read a bit of my bedtime book, then put the light out at 23.45.   I woke up at 01. 05, had a 'comfort break' and back to bed.   I then woke up at 02;11 and had another 'comfort break'.  Back to bed and slept until 03. 02.   Went to the loo ... 'comfort break'!  Sod this I said to 'me';  I got the ironing table out and ironed the pillowcases.   Back in bed by 03.25 and slept through until 07.12.  Moral of the story? .... don't iron stuff!    Or... don't go to bed with ironing to do!

The the cloud is vanishing and and being replaced by blue sky;  it could be hot in the afternoon.   Mind you, there is a cool breeze off the sea, so it shouldn't be overly hot.   

22.00    It has been a nice enough day;  and Iain almost has a bed to sleep in.   Although feeling brighter, I spent a lot of time dozing in the afternoon;   and ended up with a migraine.   So an early night with the book tonight:  and there's no ironing to bother about so I will get a good night's sleep!

As you can see from the bottom photograph 'Blob' has adopted The Buggy'.   Although very realistic looking, it's not the real 'Blob, but a very lifelike sticker, that Karen, Alice's daughter found on Amazon.  I have no doubt that the real 'Blob' will regard the scooter as a handy perch now and again!   'He' personalises The Buggy!

The 'plan for tomorrow?.... get organised for Iain arriving in the afternoon.   That reminds me;  I need to take mince out o' the freezer;  I'm making mince and tautties for dinner 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.  ...
