Misty ....


12th October 2025 (Sunday)     09.45 ....  I got 'up' early this morning, ready to hit the road

running;  but that rapidly changed when I went outside, and discovered it was misty, damp and cold.    It's actually a  quiet morning with only a light breeze, but,....  until the sun breaks through, and the temperature rises, I'm confined to the house.  Or maybe the car.    I've done some 'ooverin' and dustin', and will strip the single bed after morning coffee.   I need a good drying day before doing ;  and that ain't today.  

Ferry Road has been busy with traffic, but I doubt if it's families making for the beach!   I don't think I'll do down to the harbour today!  

20.30    We ended up with a nice day in between the early morning fog, and the late afternoon, when the fog rolled in again.    With the fog being thick in the morning I decided to go to the Store to do some shopping.   The sky was brightening up as I ravelled Eastward and, by the time I reached Ainster the sun had broken through.   The Store was quieter than I expected and I enjoyed a slow browse up and down the aisles.

Normally I come home from The Store via the Kellie Castle road but I though it might be too foggy that way, so came home by the main road.  

 Elie and Earlsferry were still blanketed in fog when I got home, but it was thinning rapidly, and soon cleared away to give us the nice day between the foggy bits.

21.30    We are to have a week of quiet, and dry, weather.   That means I'll have to get the watering cans out again.   The exercise is good for me.   I think this cold (or whatever it is) is beginning to get get 'better'.    I felt playful when I got up this morning.   Mind you that soon wore off.

All eyes are on the Middle East just now, waiting for the hostages being released:  I pray that commonsense will prevail and 'Peace' come to the Middle East.    For that to happen something will have to be done about  the different, well armed, terrorist groups.

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...
