Nice quiet morrrrrrrrrrning ....

6th September 2025 (Saturday)    09.15 .... we have a lovely, quiet  morning;  this might be

the day I get the bike out and go up to Kinneuchar:  once the sun burns off the early cloud.    I'm thinking of doing a spot of light gardening after breakfast;  and I might even have a walk up to the seat at the 17th.   An early 'morning coffee' to wash down the pills and I'll be ready to 'rock n' roll.   Well .... maybe not rock n' roll;  that would be too much!   The short walk?  I'll have the coffee!

20.00    I had a busy morning, mostly in the garden;  there's still room in the 'broon' bucket for some more garden rubbish, so I'll do that tomorrow morning.... if the weather is amenable .   I'm assuming my muscles will be.    It was too hot for me being out in the afternoon so began to watch The Tour of Britain;  fell asleep and missed the end of today's stage (it's not easy being 'me').... so I made a cuppa, and switched to the BBC News.

I ended up watching the end of the 'Reform' party conference.   I wouldn't buy a second hand car from Nigel Farage, nor his No 2 Richard Tice:  in fact I would buy a new car from them!   But I could see why the other parties are worrying about Reform.   It's very Donald Trumpish;  'make the UK great again' and stuff like that.   (No they didn't have golf hats).  The problem is;  it wouldn't be impossible for them to win the next General Election at the speed the speed the Reform Party is 'growing' at ... and the way they 'talk'.  Now that's something for us all to worry about!


22.00    What am I going to do tomorrow?    I'd like to do some more gardening, and maybe go for a short walk to the beach.   That would have to be in the morning because we could have rain showers in the afternoon;  and the last Stage of the Tour of Britain is tomorrow.

Today's photos are from the Alberto Archive (2012).   I'm planning on getting up early tomorrow

morning:  the past few mornings I've been waking up at my usual time, 06.00, then going back to sleep and eventually getting up at 07.30.   Part of my 'rest day' regime.

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.  ...
