Bright and breezy ....

31st August 2025 (Sunday)     09.00 .... The rain has moved away and we a lovely, bright and

breezy,  morning, and cooler than it has been for the past few weeks;  a lovely morning for going 'out and about'.  I fancy having a short hirple round the Woodland Walk (Balcarres) in the afternoon.    Right now I need an 'early morning' coffee.

10.15   I've been doing stuff (and haven't had my 'early morning' coffee yet):  anyway, I just remembered that I am waiting for a DPD delivery today:  and I've found out that the parcel is on it's way to the Dundee Depot.   We have a'happy boy' at Ivy Cottage.   Orf to have that 'early morning' coffee at last.   Oh ... the Balcarres trip has been postponed until .... 'sometime'.   I'll get update(s) on the mobile phone, so I might have an idea when it (the DPD van is going to be in the area.   Finally .... I'm going to have the coffee;  and maybe even a 'goodie'.

12.30    I've had, and enjoyed the morning coffee;  and chatting to the bloke putting up the notices re Parking Restrictions while the work is going on upgrading the electricity supply.   From the notices that have been put in place, and the 'No Parking' cones it looks like Ferry Road  is not part of the actual 'closure, although 'No Parking' notices are  on Ferry Road.   According to the map Cross Wynd is going to be closed totally, with parking restrictions on the High Street.  Exciting morning .   Oh... and the work is starting 'the morra'.


22.00   In the early evening I took The Buggy out ;  it could be the last I get it out for three weeks if  Ferry Road is being dug up again.   It was a lovely evening so I went up to Chapel Green;  quite a few  folk were out enjoying the evening sunshine.  Actually, although breezy it was pleasantly warm;  there was a bonnie 'light' about so the camera was well used.   

I was keeping my eye on the weather because there were showers around.... and a rainbow.   Eventually
I set off home, stopping a few times en route to get more evening photies.   I arrived back at Ivy, and got 'The Buggy' ensconced in it's nest, just before the edge of the shower I'd been keeping my eye on arrived.    The rain only lasted a few minutes. 

I must remember to move the car tomorrow morning, just in case  the Traffic Wardens's do appear and bung a ticket on it.   As you can see from the photograph there's No Parking in the 'Disabled' space at the Toon Hall.  That's where I normally go.

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.  ...
