58th Wedding Anniversary ....


9th September 2019 (Monday)     08.00 .... On this date 58 years ago
Elie High Street.
Maggie and I were married in the old Kinneuchar Manse, by the Rev Robin Mitchell;  so .... “Happy Anniversary Maggie” (alias ‘The Boss’) xxx.    Unfortunately the weather is not the same as it was on this day 58 years ago.   Then it was ‘bright, sunny and warm’;  today we have ‘heavy rain showers and not warm'.   I won’t be having coffee on the seat at Chapel Green this afternoon if it stays like this.


21.00    Wellll .... it has been a dull day but at least bit didn’t rain all day and I was able to go to the beach in the evening.    I was surprised to see some people on down there;  having said that, although it was overcast the rain had stopped.... and it was warm.

Late afternoon.
In the morning, after morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse, I went to Crail to pick up ‘M’.    We had a quick stop at Ivy then went to Leven to do a wee shopping in Sainsbury’s, and had a ‘lite bite’ lunch in the Cafe when there.   ‘M’s mobility is really bad just now, much worse than I expected it to be, so walking any distance is out, even with her stick.  I can manage a bit further (with stick and plenty short breaks) but I wouldn’t call it walking .... hirple would be a more  accurate description of my style of walking.   Anyway ‘M’ is now ensconced in Ivy for a few days (I don’t know how many) so I’ll take her out to ‘my places’:  the ‘Fudge Doughnut Factory’ being one of those.  

Tomorrow the ‘plan’ is to go up for morning coffee, then go out in the afternoon; 
The Ferry beach.
probably for a run that takes in the ‘factory’.    ‘M’ needs to have a short period of R an R because she has been busy with the ‘girls’.... visiting family etc.   Of course what we do all depends on the weather.    Tomorrow is supposed to be ‘light cloud with a light breeze’... plus the chance of sunny spells in the afternoon. 
 
There’s not much else to ‘report’ having had a lazy day really.   I must remember that I have a blood test appointment blood test on Thursday.   There are bits of paper with the time and date all over the place to remind me!

Quiet morning ....

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.  ...

Overcast ....

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.
