Overcast and chilly .....



23rd October 2025 (Thursday)     09.30 .... We have a grey start to the morning.... with a chilly

wind from the NNW;  a 'stay in and stay warm morning.   'Sunny intervals are mentioned in today's weather forecast so it should be brighter by midday.   'The pedals' will be my exercise today:  at least until the sunny intervals arrive;  when I might venture out for a short walk.   I have a nice warm job to do just now;  ironing a duvet cover and pillow cases.

19.30    Although chilly and overcast  most of the, we ended up with a nice enough afternoon and evening.   In fact the evening was actually the best part of the day as far as the weather went.

I had a busy morning, washing two single bed sheets and a few dish towels.   I spent a bit of time looking for one of the sheets;  one that I thought was ready to fit on the bed!   I eventually found it on the bed.    There were  two bottom sheets (the ones wi' the elastic corners that I don't like) on the bed!   I son't know how I managed to do that but they both had to be washed this morning.   

It didn't look the nicest of days for doing a washing;  but any showers  that were around missed us, so all was well.    The sheets have been ironed (that's another job I don't like ;  ironing and folding up bottom sheets).   One of them will be on the bed tomorrow morning. 

The temperature on the patio only got up to 9.8C today;  the coldest day on the patio ....so far.

In the afternoon I decided to have a run round the Ferry in the car to see what was happening.   It turned out that there wasn't much happening;  in fact I don't remember seeing anyone out at all.   Strangely enough it was actually nice at the time;  the sun was going down, and there was hardly any wind.   I stopped on Links Road to get a few photos, and that was my 'excitement' for today.   Apart from the work I'd done in the morning!

I'm going to make a fresh cuppa and look for something to watch on the tele.   I'll get 'the pedals' out

and have 10 minutes hard (maybe not hard) exercise, while having the cuppa and (hopefully) enjoying something interesting on the tele. 

22.30    'Landward' was interesting (it always is);  Ardross Farm was one of the places visited.   Brilliant.

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.
