Lovely morning ....

23rd August 2025 (Saturday)    12.00.... I'm ate doing 'The Hutte' because we've been up to Chapel Green
on 'The Buggy' .... and over 'the Green' to Maggie's seat.   I was surprised to see how small the buggy looks with someone on it.   When on 'the buggy' it feels huge.   Anyway Iain went up to Chapel Green and went on to the Green at the place I had looked at the other day.  There are no problems going on to' and coming 'off' the Green.  I went up to Chapel Green immediately after Iain ....and across to Maggie's seat.   
We're going up there (Chapel Green)  in the afternoon:  Iain is going to look for insects; including the Wall Brown butterfly.    I'll stay at Maggie's Seat and have afternoon coffee.

Iain has been working in the garden (there's much to be done) and I am going to put some of the weeds in the 'broon' bucket.  It (the 'broon' bin') goes out to be emptied, on Monday morning.It will be half full by Monday night.

19.00     Iain has done a load of work, as Michael, and Janice, did when they were  here a couple of weeks ago.   Iain removed a lot of the weeds today, which is why the 'broon bucket is almost full.  There's enough room for any kitchen rubbish produced tomorrow.

We had another trip up to Chapel green in the afternoon;  Iain by way of the beach, while I went up the \high Street.
Chapel Green was busy!   A group of 20 or so  walkers appeared.  I should have asked them where they had started from,  and where they intended finishing:  but I was feeling shy at the time.   Iain went for a walk round the Dome Park while \i eventually set off for \ivy to put the kettle'on'.  I met my near neighbour Christine, out for an afternoon stroll with her son, on the way home.

Iain is going home tomorrow afternoon;  and he's on a mission!   He has to meet Catriona off the
Glasgow train in Aberdeen ; round about 17.30.   We have one job planned for the morning, so that he can leave in plenty of time.

22.00    Heather, Ray and Alistair came down this evening, so we've had a good old, catch up chat.   They left a wee while ago so I'm going to join Iain with a cuppa then get off to bed:  I'm tired after watch... er... helping Iain this afternoon!.

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.
