Nice morning ....

23rd September 2025 (Tuesday)    08.45 .... It's a peaceful kind of morning;  sunny with light

winds, and a chilly air.   A bonnie Autumn morning.   I'm going to Methil to visit Alice and Leven to do some shopping.   The early morning air is chilly but it should be warm  in the afternoon.   At the moment the breeze is from the SW but its backing to the SE in the afternoon.

19.00   Because we've had very little rain recently, I've had to water the floo'er tubs;  some overnight rain every second night would be ideal.    Anyway, the tubs have been watered;  and the kettle is 'on'.   It was either water the tubs or go for a run in the car to take a few photies;  the tubs won.

It has been a lovely sunny day... and warm.  Warmer than I expected when I put on a heavier jersey this morning.   It was so warm in the Wellesley Community Centre that I had to take it off!

At Alice's we were having a cuppa when Sandy and Teresa dropped in on their way to Culross; m so we had an interesting time chatting, before they went off to Culross and we went to Sainsbury's.

21.30    The car goes in for an MOT on Thursday;  I'd better tidy it up a bit tomorrow;  that's the mission for tomorrow morning!   Iain's coming down later tomorrow afternoon and we take the car to Mercury Motors first thing on Thursday morning.   I'll be in 'Flap On' mode.


Today's photos are from the Alberto Archive.   Although I had the camera with me today I didn't take any photographs.    I couldn't believe it when driving into Leven this morning;  temporary traffic lights on Largo Road again.   That road has had some work done  on it over the past few years.

When I got back from Alice's, and put the messages away, I sat down to watch the News.   President

Trump spoke soon after the UN Secretary General (Antonio Guterres).   It was embarrassing watching the 'Leader of the Western World' speaking to the UN General Assembly.   He, President Trump, talked in his usual 'Oval Office' self praising MAGA manner;  not what the General Assembly expected.  And not what most of the people of the World wanted to hear.   We live in worrying times.

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...
