Nice, misty morning ....

16th October 2025 (Thursday)     09.15 .... Although the sky is overcast just now, the sun is

trying hard to break through.    "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is the weather forecast for KY9.    We should have a bonnie afternoon.     I'm going to have another cuppa before my appointment with Laurie (Nurse).

12.30     It's a lovely sunny day day now, But there is a chilly air.  After my appointment with Laurie I went out to Woodhaven to see what was happening out there.   The first thing I noticed was the house nearest the Woodhaven Car Park is being demolished.    I must look up the planning site to see what style of house is going to be built in it's place.

I nearly forgot;  Laurie told me that Gill, the  Asthma Nurse, has retired;  and has been replaced by 'Jennifer'.    Anyway where was I? .... Woodhaven Car Park.   I took a few photographs , then went to the 'Paper Shop'  where I bought a paper, one of my 'five a day' (Cherry Cake) and milk for the Cornflakes.

As it was, and still is,  a lovely day I came home by way of Balbuthie ans Kinneuchar.   Kinneuchar was looking good from the Balbuthie Road.   The countryside is in 'resting mode';  waiting for the leaves to go into their Autumn colours .... then drop off.    Winter isn't far away now:  You can feel it (Winter) in the air today.


18.30     It''s really chilly tonight... and damp so it feels really raw.    Rain isn't sue to reach us until Sunday.
Ferry Road has been busier than usual today;  must be school holidays in another part of the UK.

We (The Team') are booked for lunch at the Leven Golf Club tomorrow;  unfortunately. although I'm 'on the mend' I've got a horrible cough., and won't be fit enough to go.  I like the Leven Golf Club, but I don't think they'd like me with this cough.   I'll stay in and warm for another couple o' days.   Leven Golf Club was 'the plan' for tomorrow:  that and Kirsty's mystery tour on the way home.

I don't understand why politicians are creating such a noise about China 'spying' on us.   Probably to
make us take our eye off the state of the UK finances just now.  And there's a Budget coming soon!  Politicians seem to be more interested in making enemies than friends.

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 ....

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.
