Overcast ....

 7th October 2025 (Tuesday)      2nd Anniversary of October 7th attack on Israel.

10.00    It's a drab start to the morning... heavily overcast, and cooler than yesterday.   I don't have a

'plan' for today;  but I cancelled my blood test appointment at the Surgery, and have a new one on the 16th, by which time I should he well clear of the cold.  The car will be picked up sometime today, and taken to the garage;  I'll be glad when that is done.   I'll have morning coffee, while watching the News.

19.00    Ian came to uplift the car at 10.45 so I'll be able to sleep tonight without worrying about it.   I didn't particularly like where I'd parked it last night.    I do needless worrying on a grand scale.

The sky gradually cleared throughout the day;  and we now look like having clear night.   The 'Harvest Moon'  Sarah (Keith-Lucas the weather lady) said it will be the biggest and, brightest super moon of the year so far, and should be spectacular;  if the sky stays clear.  A moderate breeze is forecast so it could be cold.    I'll take my photos  from the patio. 

Being at a loose end, I decided to make the Eve's Pudding this afternoon; using the exact measurements according to the wee cook book I use.   Unfortunately I fell asleep while it was in the oven,  so the sponge topping was darker than I like.    Sometimes know as 'burnt roond the edges'.   It tastes good. ... and I should get three for the freezer.

23.00   I find it impossible to imagine what goes on in the heads of terrorists, when you see the evil of the Hamas attack on Israel two years ago.   Evil was on the rampage that day.  It saddens me to think that human beings can do that to fellow human beings.  I hope that commonsense prevails at the talks in Egypt.   

The sky is clear and there's a chilly air when I was out taking photographs of the Harvest moon just
now.   If I didn't have this cold I'd have wandered up to the seat at the 17th green to take a few photos.   It's a bonnie night....and it's going to be  nice day tomorrow.   Happy me!

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.
