Autumnal air ....

28th July 2025 (Monday)     08.30   I went for a paper this morning, and was pleasantly surprised

to find that we have a fresh,  autumnal feel to the early morning air;  but that will disappear once the sun gets going.   However we might lose the hot mauchless air that we've had in the afternoon for the past week or so.    Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze, and the low chance a light shower, is the forecast for KY9 today.   Could be a good painting day.

21.30    After the clouds cleared away and the 'autumnal air' warmed up, we had a gorgeous summer's day.   It was a brilliant day for painting (and doing a washing).   'The Troops' went along to Crail for to have a walk along a bit of the Coastal Path .... they ended up at Caiplie Caves (Coves locally).   While they were out I finished painting the individual parts of the shed, so that 'we' (mostly Michael and Janice) could start to assemble it in the afternoon.

Janice and Michael arrived back about 13.00, by which time the painting had been done, and all was ready to  go.   Janice made salad rolls for lunch, before I went to have a catnap, (the air was hot by this time) and they set about organising the shed for assembly.  When I woke up they were starting to put it together.

22.30   The 'scooter shed' is 90% done:  just finishing touches to do and felt on the roof.   It looks neat, and won't take up much space, so I'm happy with that.

Tomorrow we're going to 'The Ship Inn' for lunch, I hope it isn't too hot.    There's a change in wind direction tomorrow (to the SE) so it might be fine;  and I hope we don't have to walk too far.

We've had a busy day;  I know I'm tired and I didn't do much of the work.   Then again, I'm  olde... er .... more 'mature' than the 'troops'.

I see that President Trump is in Scotland, as is his friend our PM.  President Trump built a huge fence round Turnberry so that Mr Starmer wouldn't have a problem finding a 'fence to sit on'.  That was very thoughtful of President Trump.   

The President and his entourage (including Mr and Mrs Starmer) then flew, in Air Force one', the 250 miles to Lossiemouth.   The
runway at Aberdeen isn't long enough for 'Air Force One' to safely land.   From Lossiemouth they flew in the helicopter ('Marine One') to Trump International Golf Course (on the NE coast of Scotland  north of Aberdeen) where the President is opening a new 18 Hole golf course tomorrow.

The 'collie dog' patio solar light lit up.  I don't know how long it stays lit at night,   Will have a look if I'mm wandering about in the middle of the night.

Overcast with light rain .....

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and f...

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.  ...
