Breezy ....


1st February 2020 (Saturday)     09.30 .... we've had a wild windy night
Kinneuchar loch and kirk.
and it is windy still, with the threat of rain.... not a great day for being out and I have no intention of going out.   I am feeling brighter this morning but intend staying in and warm;  I have plenty to do on the computer.... and there’s always ‘ousework .... no ... I won’t bother with that.  

18.00    I’ve had a restful day... so restful that I nearly forgot the rugby.   Luckily Michael phoned to remind me that Scotland were playing Ireland and the kick off was about to happen;  I was in full ‘flap on’ mode at the time:  I couldn’t find the phone (which was eventually found on my bedside table) the tautties were boiling over and the kettle had just boiled.   Having found the  phone I was able to answer it on Michael’s the fourth attempt to get through to me, and I fired up the tele and have been watching the rugby .... Ireland is leading 13-6.
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
19.00    Ireland won 19 – 12 in the end.... and I guess they deserved to win what was a bit of a battle;  Scotland gave away too many penalties in the second half:  I am tired after all that and will be in bed early again tonight.
Tomorrow is going to be another ‘stay in and warm’ day for the boy.... working on the computer.    There is ‘ousework things I could do but I’m not in the mood for that yet.   The camera has never been in my hands today so I am going to browse and find a couple from a few years ago to brighten up the Hutte.

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.  ...

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.
