Beautiful morning ......

20th November 2024 (Wednesday)    09.00 .... We have a lovely morning, but it's much

Colinsburgh Town Hall.
colder, than it was yesterday when exposed to the Northerly wind.  I'll go up to Colinsburgh (with Myra) for the Friendship Lunch, but I don't think I'll be down to the beach.  The photo of the moon was taken when waiting for the kettle to boil! 


15.00    We had a lovely lunch, and chat, at the Colinsburgh Friendship Lunch.   That said when I asked  Sadie and Robbie what was happening at Kinneuchar the reply, in both cases and at the same time, was ...."nothing; nothing ever happens in Kinneuchar"!   



21.00   When you first look at it the hall bit of Colinsburgh Town Hall (Built 1895) it hasn't changed: but the windows have been renewed recently, and I'm sure that the badminton lines have been painted a few r
times in the last 70 years.   The biggest improvements (and changes) have been with the Kitchen and Toilet areas.  The photograph shows the hall at the Friendship Lunch today.

Work on the Ladies 3rd tee.
I've had a good day in spite of the cold wind:  the only time I went out was to walk up to the phone box to wait a few minutes for Myra.   It was cold on the ankles in there.  There's a six inch gap at the bottom of the North and West wall panels ..... and there's nae door.   But definitely much warmer than in was outside!  
22.30     Tomorrow we ('The Team') are going to 'The Rockies' for lunch.   For me it will be Fish 'n Chips, but they do a varied menu.

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.
