Bright and breezy ....

28th September 2025 (Sunday)     10.30 ....  we have a nice sunny morning with a light Westerly

breeze;  a perfect morning for drying the downie cover.    I will have a daunder down to the beach after morning coffee;  I don't like taking photographs in the middle of a sunny day.... unless we have  big clouds building up... and that's not happening just now.      

20.00    I've been really busy all day;  that includes taking time out to have walk up to the golf course in the morning.... where I met, and chatted to Irene, who was busy in her garden.   I had hoped we could  sit on a seat at the Thistle Clubhouse, but they were still damp after last night's rain;  so we had to staun and chat.   Irene plays bowls and golf so is a fit lady.    And looking well I might add.

From, 'stood staunin' chatting to Irene I ambled back to Ivy, and had a cuppa.  I then organised the pots and pans to make a batch o'  mince and tautties after lunch.   In between I did a wee bit o' work to JB's bed.   (Put the pillows inside their covers).   After a lite bite lunch I had a cat nap:  woke up after about three quarters of an hour.   The cuppa I'd made before I fell asleep, had to go into the microwave for 40 seconds, and was enjoyed with a shortbread biscuit.   I was now ready to make the mince and tautties.


22.30   I'm looking forward to 'JB' coming, tomorrow he expects to arrive round about 11.00.   The downie just needs to be put into it's cover and that's his bed sorted.    I'm well ready for bed tonight:  tomorrow will be a 'rest day'.   I get the car back tomorrow, so that will bez our mission in the afternoon.   Off to make the 'orlicks after a tiring day.

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 and damp ....

27th December 2024 (Friday)     09.15 ..... from the look of the sky, the place to catch 'sunny spells' is the Borders.   We have another grey and damp morning.   However, the sky is slightly more promising looking than it was yesterday, and sunny spells might drift our way in the afternoon.   If sunny spells do come our way, I might drift down to the beach.    Right now, after a long and good nights sleep, I am well ready for breakfast!   I'm going to grab the 'Radio Times' from Gromit, and see if there's anything worth watching on the TV today! 11.45    I've been up to the baker then home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.   The sky was mostly overcast at the time, but is beginning to break up now;  so we should get sunny breaks in the afternoon.   I was surprised to find the villages quiet;  with only a few holiday makers wandering around.    21.30     W...
