Nice morning .....

27th October 2025 (Monday)     09.30 .... Bring on the 29th March next year!   Why? .... because

that's when the clocks change (forward) to BST 2026!   I'm fed up o' 'winter' already!   
Actually we have a lovely, sunny morning, so I'm a 'happy boy' today!    There's a chilly breeze from the NW but it's an excellent dry day and I have a washing on the line.   A 'welcome' (think floo'er tubs) band o' rain if going to move over later in the afternoon/ evening, but the washing will be dry, and ironed by then.   I'm going to have an 'R and R' day today.

19.15   The patio thermometer only reached 9.4C this afternoon;  needless to say I didn't have my afternoon coffee outside.    However, it was an excellent drying day and my wee bit washing dried perfectly .... with the bits that need ironing anyway already ironed.   
I took a turn out in the car in the afternoon;  only up to Kinneuchar to get a couple of photies for the 'blog'.   This has been a rest day for me;  in fact I couldn't get going at all:  although I did have a couple of turns on 'The Pedals'.   It's funny how I start thinking about 'things' when using them.

Tomorrow looks like being a 'Pedals' day.   It's to be wet and windy in the morning;  but, drier and brighter in the afternoon.   And it will be cold.   Not my kind of weather.

22.15    The rain has been with us for an hour or do and looks like being with us overnight.... and into the morning.  It could be a good morning to have an extra hour in bed!

I'll tell you tomorrow,  what I ended up thinking about,when om The Pedals' this evening!

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.
