Nice Autumnal morning ....

8th October 2026 (Thursday)     09.30  .... We have a beautiful Autumn morning;  definitely of the
'out and about enjoying the fresh air' kind!    A few years ago I'd have been  out on the bike;  this morning I'll be out with the 'hurdy gurdy'!   I can't go far with it, but the air, and scenery, of Elie and Earlsferry is better than any pill!    Must go, 'slight flap on';  got fresh air to enjoy! 

16.00    There has been an amazing 'light' today;   the crystal clear blue of the sky, reminded me of New Zealand.   New Zealand doesn't have the pollution that we have, so their sky is crystal clear most of the time!    New Zealand is, sort of, in the 'middle o' nae where'!   Except when it comes to earthquakes!

I decided that this morning's walk would take me up the Ferry High Street to Marie's (Cadger's Wynd, then down to the bents, wander along to Cross Wynd, and back up to the High Street then home.    This would be (and was) the furthest I have walked  for a while!    Did I enjoy myself? .... I certainly did,  with the camera, and chatting to people on the way.   I met a a couple of cyclists, holiday makers based in Leven, that were biking round the coast to St Andrews, browsing the villages on the way;  and returning to Leven by way of Largoward.    

On my way round I pressed the camera button 116 times, so loads of photies to play with this evening.    Anyway I photographed my way up to Cadger's Wynd, wandered down to the bents, and photographed my way back home.   On the way I met, and had a chat with Stuart, out for his morning walk.   There's a lot of renovations going, on all around the Ferry just now;  and Elie.   In fact the whole of the East Neuk is being renovated!    

The lovely 'light' we had is being replace by a layer of cloud moving in from the West;  rain to water the
flower tubs I'm thinking!   I had thought of going out with the camera again;  but I suspect my legs might object.   I'll have a hot shower before bed tonight.

I've been thinking (not something I do often) that,  when I get the lightweight Rollator, I should be able to wander round The Ferry, photographing everything that doesn't move, so that, when I'm old I can browse my way round and enjoy is all again.  Yes, that's one of my better ideas!

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...

1st November 2019 (Friday)       07.00 .... Mmmmm ... it’s cauld and wet Mmmmm .... not the perfect weather for the beach. as per weather forecast;   a real dreich morning.      I am feeling considerably brighter than the weather and looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse..... then spending the rest of the day mostly working on the computer, and doing Soduko’s.    I might bake Melting Moments..... baking and sampling 'MM's is always a cheering occupation on a dreich day. 09.00    The sky to the West is showing promising changes in greyness;   could we be in for a few bright spells?    “Light rain showers and a gentle breeze” is the forecast for today.... but a bright spell would be very welcome.    I haven’t been anywhere further than the pavement when manoeuvring the bucket into its ‘ready for emptying’ position.   I’ll have another cuppa then ‘loup’ into the car an...

12th June 2026 (Friday)     09.30 ..... It's a lovely morning... and a good drying day!     Michael and Janice will be getting ready to go to Uckfield Station.   Me? .... I had the best night's unbroken sleep in years last night:  I put the light out at 22.45 and woke up at 06.45!     And I had a long hot shower so I'm feeling rested, and  'playful'  this morning.    That said I have the car to 'worry' about;  however the garage will take care of that, and I should get it back in plenty of time to go for Janice and Michael.  Unfortunately I couldn't do the shopping I wanted to do!    That will have to be done tomorrow.     10.00    Apart from putting the downie inside it's cover, Michael and Janice have a bed to fall into tonight!   I'm going to celebrate that by having morning coffee! 11.30     The car is back at the gate.    I...
