Nice morning ....

13th September 2025 (Saturday)     08.15 ..... There's been some light rain overnight, but that is

clearing away to the East to leave us with 'sunshine and showers' and a moderate Westerly breeze.   It must have been chilly overnight because the heating came on this morning.   (That reminds me I must set the heating to its ...er ... winter settings).    Anyway it looks like we are going to have a repeat of yesterdays weather;  so there could be some interesting clouds in the afternoon.

12.00    It has been a mostly sunny morning, albeit with a cold breeze;  but shower clouds are starting to creep over from the West.   I haven't been 'out and about', but might have a short daunder after this update;  I'll have a cuppa while I think about 'short daundering'.   It's much colder that it has been lately (15.2C);  I might have two cuppas!

15.00    After the cuppa (and a goodie) I louped intae the car and had a run up to Kinneuchar.   The roads were busy... even the Kinneuchar Station road.   I took a few photos then went home.   I might have that short daunder later;  we've just had shower o' rain.    It's time for a catnap.   Being that I don't have cat, I have to do the catnapping  myself!

20.15    We've had some heavy showers but they are slowly clearing away;  and the air is turning colder.

I've had a lazy kind of day.  I suppose I could call it 'restful and not feel so guilty.

I was worrying about the USA having problems with ultra Right Wing politics ;  but, after watching the marches in London this afternoon, we too have our problems with Right Wing politics.   In fact, most of the 'West' democracies are having big problems with Right Wing political parties.  We live in worrying .... and dangerous times.

Although it's colder, we still have White butterfly's flying around.    There has been an abundance of the White butterfly's (Large, Small and Green Veined).   I've seen a lot of Red Admirals, but only a few Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Painted Lady's.

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.
