Overcast with a light breeze....

24th October 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... We had a quiet moonlit night, that ended with a "red
sky in the morning Shepherd's warning"  sky!   Storm Boelo has yet to reach us but is on it's way;  at the moment we have a threatening grey sky with a moderate  WSW breeze but is freshening as I type.  Iain and I  haven't made up our mins about going to Kirkcaldy;  need another check on the weather.    Oh... Iain went down ro the down to take the sunrise sky!


16.30    We went to Kirkcaldy and bought a lightweight 'hurdy gurdy' (Rollator).    It's round about the same size as the one I have, but is much lighter, and I can lift it into the car boot.    The main difference with this one is that it has proper brakes,   It might be hard to believe but Rollator can 'tun away' when going down hill.     And the brakes can be 'locked' when sitting admiring the scenery ;  which we have a lot of in KY9!   

'Fairprice', where we bought the Rollator, is next door to Asda, so we went in and did a wee bit shopping.   Asda (Kirkcaldy) is a big shop, and now said on auld legs.   Legs that enjoyed a long browsing session a few years ago!.... can't do that now.

The roads were busy, as they always are nowadays.    And the weather was 'overcast but sky with a light wind.    'Storm Boelo' was off  the North Wear of Scotland! ... and had yet to make it's presence felt.   On the way home the first drops of rain hit the car windscreen as we were coming down  Ferry Road.

20.00    The wind has freshened (F6 WSW ) and it has been raining, so I think we could say that Storm Boelo has arrived in KY9.    The strongest winds are going to be  in the middle of the day tomorrow;  which coincides with  high tide  at 14.06.    However, by that time it should only be wind;  with the chance of sunny spells.   I don't think I'll be going out with the new 'hurdy gurdy' tomorrow;  perhaps a few turns round the patio in the afternoon.

I'm odd to put the kettle on to make a cuppa.   It's chilly out this evening, probably because of the wind; 
thankfully it's warm inside.    Anyway a cuppa is called for;  and a cuppa we shall have!   
22.30    Off to bed on what is a wild night.   I suspect I might have a broken night's sleep!

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...
