Nice morning ....

31st October 2025 (Friday)     10.00 .... The patio thermometer is at 11.7C .... so already warmer

than it was at anytime yesterday.    That is after an overnight low of 5.4C.    We have a lovely, warm and sunny morning, with a chance of light showers at anytime.    There's a moderate SSE breeze but it must be originating from somewhere warm because it's... well ....  a warm breeze.   There's o 'plan' for today so far;   I'll have an early morning coffee, and see what the brain cell comes up with.

19.00    I've had a reasonably busy day;  well did have until I fell sound asleep in the afternoon.   Since then I've been free wheeling.    There's been a change in th air and the auld tubes don't like it.


I can only count 5 chocolate crispies on that plate;  a plate I found at the back door in the afternoon.   I'm sure there were six on it originally.!   Anyway, the five are now in an \air tight container so that I can scoff them at leisure.   A big 'Thank You' to whoever left them at the door.    After lunch I put a Scottish CD in the music centre and fell sound asleep for over an hour. ... so didn't hear the doorbell  And I'm ready for an early night in bed!

Ferry Wynd -2005
Prince ... oops Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor continues to make the 'News' today.   It must have hurt HM King to do what had to be done, to his brother.   However Mr AM Windsor brought all this on himself, and the Royal Family, even though he denies that anything took place.   It will take the Royal Family a long time to completely recover from the damage this has caused.

I went out in the car in the afternoon but iwas spitting rain so I only wen 'roond the Ferry'.   Apart from the top photo the other two are from 2005.


While browsing the Archive  this afternoon, I found some of the the photographs I'd taken when Jimmy and i| were researching the Muircambus Mill  dam, and lade.   I have decided to get it all down on a page for the 'blog';  that's my project for this winter.   I took loads of photies, but finding them could take a while.   I'll start doing that seriously tomorrow.

Once again we're to have rain overnight!   You can guess who is a 'happy boy' about that.   It has been
warmer today.... it was 11.9C at one time on the patio, which is good for this time of year.   We're to have 'light rain' with a fresh breeze tomorrow... and it's to be cooler.

Quiet morning ....

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.
