Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrning ....

10th October 2025 (Friday)     10.00 .... It's 'bright and breezy morning, and I have

taken advantage of that by doing a woollen wash (jerseys).    The car is being delivered late morning or early afternoon, so I should be able to  so the run 'roond the Ferry' that ended so disastrously on on Monday morning.   I think I deserve a cup o' coffee!   

19.45    The car is 'in Residence' on Ferry Road so I'm a happy boy.   It's brilliant being 'trapped' in The Royal Burgh', but I have to get out to other places such as The Gateway to The Royal Burgh (Elie) now and again.    Ian and Kathryn brought it (the car) back for me in the middle of the afternoon.

It has been a nice sunny day, albeit with a frisky breeze in the morning, but it calmed down in the afternoon.   The jerseys I washed have been ironed and are ready to put away.   Apart from doing the woollens, and some work in the kitchen I've had a lazy day.

Tomorrow is going to be another sunny day but slightly, colder.  Kathryn was saying that this is the beginning of the mid term holidays.   Which means busy villages, and tricky parking.   I hear a lot of vehicles going down Ferry Road.... and a few going up.                  Now that I have the car back in action I'll be able to get 'out and about' even m in colder weather.                                                                                              On the 'News' the Palestinians are seen moving back to where they lived before they were moved to 'safer'zones; they had to get out of the cities.  Now they travelling 'home'in their thousands., but the homes they left are just heaps of rubble.  It must be heartbreaking.   However, at least  they can move without being shot.   Hopefully  the ceasefire lead to a permanent 'Peace' but there's a long long way to go yet.  'Peace' in the Middle East "hangs on a shooglie nail "!

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...
