Lovely morrrrrning .... ....

22nd September 2025 (Monday)     Autumnal Equinox.

09.00 .... We have a lovely Autumn morning;  sunny, with a light south westerly breeze.    The temperature

is 6.1C just now but it will be warm, once the sun is higher in the sky.   I don't have a plan of action for today yet;  I'll come up with one,  while having another cuppa.   I might go down to Nana's seat after morning coffee.

19.15   I've had a strange day;  for some reason I couldn't get fired up.   Anyway I eventually decided to wash a couple of body warmers, which would appear to be just another washing job.   Oh no it wasn't;  I had  badges  (Veteran's badge etc) to remove;  and found out why both warmers were heavy: I found £25.45p (in coins) from the numerous pockets.   The doldrums were consigned to history..... I was beginning to enjoy myself! 

My next mission was picking some apples,for Alice to turn into Apple Crumbles;  and some for me to turn into Eve's Puddings.   Although the apples look really bonnie, they taste more like cooking apples;  so I use most of them for that, and nibble away at one now and again.

The furthest I went today was up to George and Dorothy's to take in their bin, then to the phone box to get photo to get a few photies tae play with in the evening.   I thought about going up to Chapel Green on 'The Buggy' but the Ferry Road was busy, so I decided to leave that until tomorrow afternoon.

22.00    I'm going to Methil tomorrow to visit Alice, go shopping, then have lunch in the Wellesley Kirk Community Centre.   A busy morning.   Iain is coming down on Wednesday, hence the shopping.   The car is going for it's MOT on Thursday so it's a busy couple of days.  

 Iain has to go back home to Auchnagatt early on Saturday morning.   'JB' is coming on Monday for a

week so I'll have to  a couple o' days to make up the bed for 'JB'.

It has been a nice day, mostly sunny but with a chilly breeze.   The body warmers washed perfectly.   The badges are back in place;  the money  in a dish, for when I need change.

I meant to water the tubs this evening;  that will have to be done tomorrow.  It's time for the 'orlicks.

Quiet morning ....

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.
