Lovely sunrise ....


12th February 2020 (Wednesday)     09.30 .... The garden thermometer
10 minutes before sunrise.
is showing 4C just now but with the wind chill it feels more like 1C;  having said that it is a bonnie morning but cold.    We had a cracker of a sunrise, some braw colours, but a “red sky in the morning etc”  means Storm Dennis is on his way in.
I did the washing and it is/was on the line when I last looked;  I did put extra pegs on it just in case.    It should dry fairly quickly and I might even get it ironed after lunch.    Must go.... got to get the papers.


11.30    I don’t believe me.   I went to the garage to fuel up the car, but the pump kept switching off so I gave up after £1.20... intending to the car to the garage.    Christine, who was on duty in the shop, said she would have a go:  yep .... fuel went in ‘nae bother’.   I do not know what I do wrong but it appears it’s me that’s the problem .... not the car.   Christine filled the tank so all’s well that ends well;  and I am looking forward to the Friendship Lunch.
Sunrise over Elie Bay.
From Colinsburgh I went to the ‘paper shop’ and had morning coffee with the ‘Troops’.... and I remembered to call Sarah “Sarah”.... sometimes 'Sarah' is “Laura”.

20.00     We’ve had a lovely day... sunny mostly, but it has been cold.    The ‘Friendship Lunch’ was excellent .... as it always is.   It seems that there’s ‘nothing’ happening anywhere....not even in Kinneuchar.

I am looking forward to the weekend;  Iain is coming down (weather permitting) to upgrade the big computer.    It’s the one I use when sorting out the photographs etc.  Tomorrow?    Hmmmmm .... after morning coffee tomorrow I’ll pop along Leven to do
Bonnie afternoon - but cold.
a wee shopping and visit Jim.  I must remember that we have a ‘Valentine Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.... can’t forget that.   I’ve just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow .... and the weekend:   not very promising at all.... Storm Dennis arrives on Saturday and is with us until Monday.    Tomorrow is going to start wet with rain/sleet/snow.

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.
