Cloudy and damp .....

14th December 2025 (Sunday)     12.00 ..... I've been a busy boy this morning;  it's not a morning for me bring outside so I've actually been doing 'ousework.    The weather is of the gloomy kind , but at least it's dry and the sky is showing slightly promising signs.    We could have  a few sunny spells in th afternoon. The "News", of a multiple shooting in Sydney (Australia) is horrifying;  and that's just after a multiple shooting in Rhode Island (USA).   'Hatred and war' instead of 'love and peace'  is on the rise all round our beautiful Planet;  and it should, not only be a beautiful plane, but also a peaceful one;  if only we had politicians that used the word 'Peace' more often!    We even have European politicians talking of  making ready for war. (with Russia).  Actually, I'd be interested to hear what kind of protection will be put in place for the civilian population(s), in th...

13th December 2025 (Saturday)     10.45 .... It's easy to 'sleep in'  with the dark mornings we  have at this time of year;   I didn't get 'up' until 08.15!    It's a nice enough morrrrrrrning now, but, with the kind of air we have today I'm glad that I went to 'Nana's Seat' yesterday.    I'll write the rest of the Christmas cards today, then do some 'ousewotk.     I'll have a run out in the car in the afternoon;  and probably deliver a few cards.   Right now, it's 'morning coffee' time!     The run in the car depends on how heavy the rain is, that is forecast for the afternoon!   There's a 'Possible Yellow Warning'  (for heavy rain) that includes Fife.    14.45    The wind had freshened, but at least the rain has yet to arrive;  which is good for anyone on the golf course today..... although it would feel cold in the wind.   I went for ...

12th December 2025 (Friday)     10.00 ..... My word;   it's hard to get going on the dark  mornings we have at this time of year, especially cloudy mornings.   That said, it's a nice morning (not raining), with sunny spells to come;   and I have already been almost busy.    In fact I'm going to have morrrrrrrrrning coffee after this update;  after which, I might have a daunder down to Nana's Seat.      17.00    We've enjoyed a really lovely day,;  with sunny spells, and warm for the time of tear.   I had my daunder to Nana's Seat, which was wet.   I always carry a bit of kitchen roll, so dried a bit of the seat and had a relaxing 10 minutes watching a few dog walkers on the beach.      There was a bonnie 'light' about so I ended up with a load of photos to play with later.   Since then I've been doing a wee bit of 'ousework:  but I really enjo...

Quiet morning .....

11th December 2025 (Thursday)     09.00 .... It's much quieter now that the wind had moderated;  and, it  'sunny spells' are mentioned in the weather forecast.   that means my washing will dry!   I'm a happy boy again.   I'll have another cuppa then toddle off to Methil  to annoy Alice. With the dark mornings just now, it would easy to 'stay in bed' or another half hour or so;  however, I get up... but I wouldn't say I was really in the mood for doing things.   Off to make that cuppa mentioned above. 19.15    I enjoyed my trip to Methil to 'annoy' Alice.   As ever nowadays the roads were busy, both going to Methil and coming home. Alice wanted to deliver Christmas tree lights to the Balmaise Centre, so, after a cuppa, and a catch up with the local 'news'.   The last time I was at the Balmaise Centre was with Bert Cation (Site Agent with Bett Bros);  that was 50 years ago. ...

10th December 2025 (Wednesday)     10.45 ....  We have a nice, sunny and breezy morning;  and it's not as cold as I expected it to be.   There's a drying wind so I've hung out a small washing (it will probably get an extra rinse from the showers that are forecast).   The 'drying'  wind is mopping up the water that  was lying around;  but there's more rain to come.   It's the 'Atlantic Lows' season.   I'll have a cuppa before going for the paper.   15.30    It had been a breezy old day;  with heavy showers now and again.   Yes .... the washing had had another couple of rinses.   It's only a small washing so I'm not that bothered;  it's to be a better 'drying day' tomorrow.   I think ... er hope! AS planned I went to Elie to pick up my prescription  and get the paper.     By the time I left the Chemist I'd decided to go down the ...

9th December 2025 (Tuesday)     09.45 .... Hmmmmm .... We have a dreich morrrrrrrning.   The Fife Weather cams all show grey and wet;  except the Kinghorn one! .... which has a breaking sky to the South West of Edinburgh.    At the moment there's not much wind, but it will  freshen, to give us a wild and wet night ahead.   Perhaps the breaking sky will come our way for a wee while., but I'm not going to bother with the sun cream.    On a positive note;  dust levels are low! 17.00     As you can see from the top photo we had a lot of rain overnight; even  Chapel Green was wet.   This was taken just after the rain stopped and the dog walkers, like me, took advantage of that.   I met Grizelda up  at Chapel Green, walking her daughter's Jack Russell, and we could see other walkers on the beach.    It was actually quite warm.   I had another walk up to the p...

8th December 2025 (Monday)     08.45 .... Although raining just now, the Fife Weather Cams are showing a clearing sky ;  do the rain should stop soon to give us 'sunny spells'.    I'm disappointed with the rain, because when I went to bed last night the rain had stopped.   Obviously that was just a temporary 'blip'.    Anyway it's raining just now, but not as heavy as it was yesterday evening.    I'll go up to the paper shop once the sun gets going. 12.30     We have lovely sunny day now... and there's a drying breeze that will mop up the puddles after last night's rain. I've been to the 'paper shop', bought stamps, and remembered the paper.    I then went to the car to wait for the Post Office van coming.    The 'plan' was to take a few photies while:  it was when taking the first one that I discovered that the camera card was still attached to the laptop.    I had loads o' ti...
