Nice morrrrrrrrning ....



16th September 2025 (Tuesday)      09.45 .... It's a lovely, sunny, and peaceful Autumn morning. 

A morning for doing things.... so I did a small washing.   When I emptied the machine I wondered where some of the 'washing' had gone.   I'd forgotten to put it in the machine... so it was a 'smaller than planned' washing.   

The sun is bright, and I'm in a productive mood, so I'm going to attack another bit o' the bathroom .... after a mug o' coffee.   After the sun has warmed the air up, I might try for a daunder down to Nana's seat.  But...before I do any of that I must charge The Buggy battery (after the coffee).   

12.30   Having had a run up to Chapel green on 'The Buggy', I have now got her 'on charge,  ready for the next  mission.   I didn't stay out long because shower clouds are starting to appear from the West;  showers aren't mentioned in the forecast, but I didn't chance The Buggy being caught out.   It can stand some wetness but it's best to keep her dry.

The workmen are digging Ferry Road up, at the Sub Station:  the finishing date is the 18th so they must be on the last lap.  'Slight Flap On' .... I need a cuppa.

18.30    The wind has moderated and we have a lovely evening;  actually sunny and warm, evening.   I thought about going out on 'The Buggy' again but changed my mind when I remembered 'd put the kettle 'on'.    Anyway 'The Buggy' has a fully charged battery so the next time out I might go up towards Elie.   That depends on how busy the roads are of course.

22.00   'Air Force One' with President Trump and entourage aboard landed at Stansted Airport (London) half an hour ago.   He is here for a State Visit (his second) over the next two days.   The president and The First Lady will be staying at the US Embassy tonight, then moving to Windsor Castle tomorrow for the Royal Ceremonial part, with King Charles and Queen Camilla.   All the 'pomp and circumstance' is taking place with the Castle and grounds, for security reasons.   

This will be a different State Visit; with no cheering crowds on The Mall and around Buckingham
Palace.   I'm sure it will all be on the TV tomorrow.    I watch the World Championships from Tokyo:  I hope it doesn't clash with that.   I will watch the State Visit:  I can always get the World Championship results later.   I'm not a fan of President Trump;  but I do like the 'pomp and circumstance' of such an occasion.

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.
