Sunny and warm ....

12th August 2025 (Tuesday)     09.15 .... I don't have to say that it's going to be hot today;  it

Sheffield Park - Sussex.
already 18.5C (shade).   We have am absolutely beautiful morning, sunny and warm with only a breath of a breeze;  perfect day for beach.    Low tide is at 11.15 so there will be a big beach in the middle of the day.  I'd go down to Nana's Seat but it's going to be too hot for me:  I might get 'The Buggy' out if the streets aren't too busy;  but I suspect we will have day trippers on a day lovely like this.   Anyway, let's enjoy this less intense Scottish version, of the  heat wave they are having to put up with down in 'Sunny Sussex' and the South East.    

11.00   I've just seen on the News that there's 'Heat Health' warning out for the whole of England;  different coloured warnings for different areas.   That means it's going to be hot and humid here too.... so the 'Scottish version' of the heat wave might not be much different.   (It's 22.5C on the patio thermometer just now).   I'll do a wee bit more to the ivy, then have morning coffee;  that will be my 'work' activity until later in the afternoon.  

15.00     It's 'cosy' out in the garden (24.5C) .... but I stopped 'working', and came into Ivy Cottage a couple of hours ago.   I'll have another short working session in the evening.   I meant to take a 'before' photo but forgot.   I'll take the 'after' one tomorrow evening!   The ivy that would have been in the 'before' one is in the 'broon' bucket!
21.30    It has been a bonnie, warm and sunny, day and I'm sure the beach would have been busy.    It was far to hot from midday to 18.00 for me to go anywhere.   However I did venture as far as the Ferry Corner in the evening to get a few photos for the Alberto Archive.     

I attacked the ivy as planned.   That's going to have to be a longish job;  the 'broon' bucket is where
garden rubbish goes and it is nearly full already.   There's enough room for the next two weeks kitchen waste.   This means the ivy cutting back is 'on hold' for two weeks.  

We're to have another hot day tomorrow;  and it could be uncomfortably warm for sleeping tonight.  I'd

better find a book to read!  

No 'plan' for tomorrow but I won't be going far, unless the roads are quiet and I go out on 'The Buggy'.

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 ...
