Cold and overcast .....



26th October 2025 (Sunday)     09.45 .... At the moment the sky is overcast, and there's a cold

Westerly wind;  but, the light rain that's mentioned in the weather forecast has yet to arrive.    That said the Western sky is dark and heavy looking so it (the rain )isn't far away.   Because the clocks were changed last night, Iain will be leaving after an early lunch to get home during daylight hours.   Actually it's still BST in the kitchen;  the kitchen clocks haven't been changed yet!

20.30    Iain arrived back home to a power cut;   but it was fixed  not long ago so all is good at Auchnagatt.

Iain did some work in the morning before the rain came:  I just concentrated on getting food ready for an early lunch.   Which we had at midday;  and Iain set of for home at around about 12.30.   I put the dishes in the dishwasher, then sat sown with a cuppa to have my afternoon siesta.

The rain cleared away to give us a lovely evening;  so I went for a short run in the car (Balbuthie Kinneuchar) but the sun dropped behind the clouds, before I got to Kinneuchar so I never took any photies.    Today's were taken before I took off in the car.    The top one  re the flags on the 'Glenfuir' flagpole.   Top flag;  The British Legion 'Lest we Forget' flag:  The other one. id the National flag of South Africa. 

The bottom photograph is Ferry Road in the lat afternoon sun.

I'm tired after a reasonably busy day.   Tomorrow is going to be 'sunny with a moderate'NW breeze;   a good drying day so I am going to do the washing tonight, and get it out first thing.   There's to be more light rain overnight.

I'm going to make a cuppa... and  find something to watch on the tele while using 'The Pedals'.

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.  ...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.
