Overcast, breezy and cold ....

4th October 2025 (Saturday)     12.45 .... 'JB' set off for 'Sunny Sussex' at 11.45.   The weather is
good for driving and should improve as he travels South.   

The power cut we had last night only lasted for 45 minutes;  so we got of lightly compared to other parts of Scotland.   'JB' had a walk to the beach before he left, which is why I have some 'today' photographs to 'play with.

It was a windy old night, but the wind moderated about and it was quiet by breakfast time (07.30).
I was surprised to find that there's still a few apples attached to the tree.   I saved some of the ones that fell overnight, and  might make an Eve's Pudding in the afternoon.

19.45   I intended having Lazy day;  bit I ended up doing housework.   I'm going to make the Eve's Pudding tomorrow[  the plan is to take it easy and shake off this cold.   Im fact a 'JT' at bedtime is part of that 'plan'.

When I went out to the patio  this morning, I noticed that a big tub I have;  (empty at present and upside down) was nowhere to be seen.   Also missing was an empty watering can.   I thought they would be in some corner of the patio or the front garden.    I eventually found both, on the pavement  almost at Ferry Corner.   There must have been some funny old changes in wind direction overnight!

The wind also lowered 'Glenfuir' Union Flag, and a couple of beach huts were on their blown over.


22.30    Tomorrow is going to be a good drying day so I'll wash the shower towels, and make the Eve's
Pudding.    Most of the time I'll be staying in and warm.   I've had a 'Janice Toddie' so should feel brighter in the morning;   in fact I might have a lie in.

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.
