Nice morning ....

25th August 2025 (Monday)     08.45 ..... It's a beautiful 'sunny and already warm morning'

Park Place - Elie
here in KY9;  and it's going to be hot in the middle of the day.   There is a light breeze from the southerly direction, but I suspect that it could be uncomfortably hot for 'mature' people.  Me? ..... I'm waiting for the bin men emptying the 'broon' bin .... so that I can get rid of more weeds.

19.45    It has been a nice, warm and sunny day;  a little bit too hot in the afternoon (26.8C) for me. It's 22.7 just now... and I've just had a cuppa at the patio table.   It really is a lovely evening;  I might take a short walk up the road after this update.    

I had a good work session in the morning, after the bin men had been.   All the pruning that Iain did has been cut to size, and put intae the broon bin ....  and I did a bit more pruning to the ivy.   This was going to be a 'rest day', but I'm going to visit Alice tomorrow so that will be my rest day.

From 12.30 it became too hot for me being out, so I went and had a light lunch, and watched the 'News'.   

If I have got this right; the IDF has killed another 5 journalists reporting from inside Gaza.  The Israelis deny targeting journalists and their cameramen, having killed 5 just a couple of weeks ago.   All they (the journalists and their cameramen) were doing was their job;  reporting what is happening in Gaza.   Apparently they were just unlucky to be accidentally on the receiving end of an Israeli missile strike.  Why don't I believe that? ... because they hit the same part of the target  (hospital) twice.

Everything happening in Gaza, every day now, is just as evil as the original attack by the Hamas terrorists on Oct 7th.   I really feel sorry for all the Israeli's and Palestinians who know that wars don't solve anything.   Antisemitism must be at astronomical levels all round the world just now:  We live on a beautiful Planet, why not try living in harmony, and just enjoy Mother Earth!   

22.30   Tomorrow is definitely a rest day at Alice's.   Actually there's a change on with the weather tomorrow;  we have a

Bridge over the Cocklemill Burn at Kinneuchar Station.
chance of light showers... and the wind is veering to the SW.   It shouldn't be as hot and dry as it has been.   Sunny days on an East wind are excellent drying days, but not good for delicate skin.

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.  ...
