Misty ....


18th October 2025 (Saturday)     10.15 .... The sky is overcast with a light Southeasterly breeze

just now,;  but 'sunny intervals' are forecast by midday.    I was disappointed to find the 'sunny intervals'  AWOL at sunrise time.   I went back to bed for another hour.   The sky is beginning to brighten now.    It's  about time I had 'morning coffee'.

16.30    The sun managed to break through around 14.30, and we now have a warm, and  sunny, afternoon.   By the amount of traffic on Ferry Road it would appear to be a 'change over weekend.   I think the Glasgow folk are going home, and the Edinburgh ones arriving.   It's all 'go' on Ferry Road just now. 

I  set off for a walk to the beach but had only reached Ferry Corner when the camera battery went flat.   I went back to Ivy and had lunch.   I'd get 'The Buggy' out, but there's a car parked where I set up the ramp to get of the pavement.    I'll put the kettle 'on'.... and think about going out on the bike.    No... I'd better not do that.... the wind is from the SE.

20.15    Instead of going out I've been sorting out the computer station (Iain moved it into the big bedroom;  I have now moved the external hard drives, so that I can browse the 'Alberto Archive'.   After I'd done all that I enjoyed browsing aforementioned Hard Drives.    I've had a restful day!

I notice that the barometer is falling;  the first big fall in a week.   Anyway rain is forecast for tomorrow so I won't be going far., but will look out for the geese (Pink Foot) feeding on the stubble fields.

We have a small section of road works outside St Margaret's  oops .... 'Earlsferry House' Care Home in Williamsburgh.    It feels like there's been roadworks going on around the Ferry Corner area for years.   I can't complain;  there's  always someone to talk to.
 
I'm absolutely shattered tonight.  It must be the change in the weather:  it's certainly now the works I've been doing.   External hard drives aren't heavy!

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.
