Nice quiet morning ....

28th August 2022 (Sunday)    08.15 .... Today is going to be a ‘rest day’.  


It’s not a great drying day, and I feel lazy ... er ... in a restful mood.   I’ve been for the paper (in the car) and had a quick trip to the harbour and a walk on the beach.   It’s a quiet morning, with a layer of low cloud drifting in from the North Sea on a light NE breeze;  I’m hoping for  sunny spells later....there’s blue sky showing on the Lochgelly weather cam.  I'm hungry... it’s breakfast time.

22.00    I’ve enjoyed a good rest day.... and tomorrow will be another one; Iain isn’t coming down until the 10th September.  That means I have another week to sort out the single bed.... loads o’ time;  and it means I can have a couple of ‘play days’.... or more. 


We ended up with a beautiful, bright sunny and warm, afternoon and evening;  a really bonnie day for  holiday makers on a Bank holiday weekend.   I went to Methil to have tea with Alice, Theresa (Alice and George’s daughter) and Sandy (Theresa’s husband).... it was a really enjoyable afternoon.   Alice is in the early stages of bereavement, but is keeping active and coping well.  Her daughters live locally and keep her ‘on her toes’;  and she lives in a quiet cul-de-sac in Methil with friends all around.  

My ‘plan for tomorrow has been amended since Iain phoned earlier in the evening;  I think tomorrow could end up being a ‘play day’.  The weather forecast is much the same as it was for today; but there’s a ‘low chance of precipitation’ in the early morning, followed, (I’m feeling optimistic) by sunny spells in the afternoon.   I want to get out early on the bike so that I can empty the battery, then get it fully charged for the afternoon;  and I want the ‘low chance of precipitation’ to happen somewhere else.

 I noticed that the signage for the road closures is starting to make more sense, with


HGV’s being directed away from Lower Largo and the quiet, and narrow, country roads.   

Tomorrow I shall read my Sunday paper (Observer)....and catch up with all the latest re the cost of staying alive this coming winter;  and probably the next two as well.  It is not going to be easy.

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.
