Light rain ....

15th September 2025 (Monday)     08.00 .... The overnight rain has moved away, to give sunny 

spells and showers.   At the moment we have a light breeze, but it will freshen by morning coffee time, though not up to the levels that it will be down south.   I'm going to have a quiet day;  doing some 'ousework and general 'pottering' around Ivy.   When the sun gets going, and after I have morning coffee, I might go down to Nana's Seat:  because I'm feeling 'fairly frisky'. 

17.00   It has been a day of mixed up weather;  mostly sunny in the morrrrning, then clouds and heavy showers in the afternoon.   A nice enough day as long as you missed the showers.

I had a daunder down to Nana's Seat (top photograph) and thought about walking along the bents, path for a bit but it was too windy for me.   I met Chris who was out walk her dog;  it might have been the other way round... the dog walking Chris!   Dog and Chris were going to the actual beach;  I'd decided to go back home and have a cuppa.

Did I mention doing some 'ousework?   I did!.... and set about cleaning the bathroom, with some fancy cleaner that 'JB' invested in.   Actually it makes a good job of the bath and sink etc.  The bath is the hardest item to clean so I did it, then looked at the sink and thought, "I'd better leave something to do tomorrow".

22.30   Tomorrow is going to be 'sunny with a fresh Westerly breeze' .... and it could be warm on the patio.    I don't have a 'plan' other than finish off the bathroom.   Depending on how busy the roads are I might take The Buggy for a turn up to Chapel Green in the morning;  before I put the battery on charge.   

I've had my bedtime Horlicks, and now ready for bed.   It could be a cold night according to the weather

lassie.  Actually my Central Heating has been coming on in the morning so it has been colder overnight.

The villages are still busy with holiday makers;  and a lot of people are walking the Coastal Path.   I can't get over how much the East Neuk has changed  in the last few years.   The 'East Neuk' was the place where we lived, and sort of bumbled around;  now it's a busy holiday destination .... like  Cornwall.   Amazing how quickly it's changed:  and that's hard to come to terms with.

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.  ...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.
