Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrning ....



11th October 2025 (Saturday)     11.30 ..... The sun has burnt off some early morning cloud,

and we now have a lovely sunny day, albeit with a cool breeze.    I've been out in the car to the harbour then home by Balbuthie ans Kinneuchar.    I had planned on stopping in Elie to buy a paper but there was a lot of cars manoeuvring around  so I skipped the paper and went to the harbour.   Going by the number of vehicles all over the place, the villages are busy.    Even the harbour had vehicles manoeuvring (I'm likin' the word) 'manoeuvring') so I didn't linger too long there.   Anyway it was cold on the lugs.   The countryside is beginning to look really autumnal now and I'm thinkin' a run up to Balcarres might be my next venture.   It's morning coffee time!

20.00   It has been a lovely day, but the breeze was too chilly for me going out on 'The Buggy'.   I tidied the car boot, and put the shopping bags back where they belong.

It has been a good day for a washing and I forgot that I have the single bed bedding ready to wash.   That will be tomorrow's mission.   The weather is forecast to be 'more of the same';  but there could be early morning mist.

Valerie brought me some home grown 'Royal Burgh'  grapes;  they are really sweet.    Maggie and I grew grapes in the greenhouse for a few years and got enough grapes to make a few bottles of wine of wine.   The grapes were sour, but made good wine.

Austin Fraser is my third Great Grand child;  I am beginning to feel slightly older.    Austin was born on the 30th September.... he looks like his Dad!

21.45    I don;y know why ... buy I'm am shattered tonight.   I did some walking at the harbour right enough but that' about it.   It's an early night in bed for this boy.

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...
