Nice morning .....

8th August 2025 (Friday)     08.45 ....  There's a nice, fresh, autumnal breeze just now.    In fact it'going to be windy  all day, with the chance of of showers in the morning.   It will be warm in the afternoon, albeit with a cooling breeze.    At the moment it looks like the tubs are about to be watered!  The Fife Weather West facing cams are showing shower clouds, but they should clear away by midday.

20.30    As planned I went to Methil to visit Alice and do some shopping.   I actually enjoyed driving today,  but the road was quiet on the way to Leven:  except for a hold up in Lundin Links where a broken down vehicle was being loaded onto a breakdown truck.   Police were directing the traffic so the hold up wan't lengthy.

After a cuppa at Alice HQ we went shopping, then back to HQ for an excellent lunch, home made Gammon and egg pie.... followed by a lemon pie for dessert.   I'm on a diet 'ra morra'.    

 


Alice enjoyed the Methil History Society trip to 'Glasgow Women's Library'.   It's 'different'.   Click on the link to read all about it.   
This 'link thing' is a new 'improvement' (presumably AI) to writing up The Hutte.  I don't think I've quite got the hang of it yet!   However I'll stick with it and see how it goes.  

 I could give you links to Methil, Leven and Lundin Links .... and even the 8th August.   It gives me a whole heap o' possible links.... but I'm being selective.


22.30    As I am sort of 'ouse bound just now, the photographs I'm using on The Hutte today are from the Alberto Archive, so I have thousands to choose from;  taken when I was fit as a Spring lamb.   Actually, browsing the Archive is interesting, and brings back a multitude of memories.   It isn't boring.   Anyway what am I going to do tomorrow?    I have some small jobs to do on the patio so I'll spend tomorrow mostly out there.   It's going to be breezy in the afternoon.... but dry.

After a busy old day I'm ready for the bedtime 'orlicks;  and catch up with the News.   The News from Gaza is

shocking;  it's hard to 'believe' what humankind is capable of what's happening there..   BBC Verify helps to sort it out.   Robert Burns was right when he wrote the lines "man's inhumanity to man... make countless thousands mourn"... in the poem 'Man was made to Mourn'.    

Warmongering politicians, and evil terrorists, have thousands of innocent civilians (including women children and babies) on their conscience.  How do  they live with that?

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.  ...
