Rain .....

19th October 2025 (Sunday)     10.15 ....  As per weather forecast, it's raining., with a moderate

breeze.   The Fife Weather cams are all showing a heavy sky, with a few brighter bits towards the SW.  However the rain is forecast to be heavier in the afternoon, so 'sunny spells are unlikely.   This band of rain is to clear away by tomorrow morning, to give us 'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze'.   I think this could be a 'browse the Alberto Archive' day.;  in between doing some 'ousework.

20.30    I say honestly say that this has been  one of the laziest day's I've had for years.   Luckily I found a Davis Attenborough nature programme to watch.... and Hamza early in the evening.   Oh ... I had a migraine (weather) so I don't feel that guilty about having a lazy day.   In between watching the tele I used made an  Eveline's Pudding;  the photo at the top of the page.   It is really tasty.

That will be the last of this years apples off the tree.   I lost a lot of them to a Jackdaw.   She perched next to an apple and had a few pecks at it, before it fell to the ground.   What did she do?.... moved across to another apple and did the same;with the same result.   Luckily I'd saved most of the apples before she began doing that.

Newark Castle.
The weather deteriorated after lunch and we've had a wet afternoon, so I was happy working in the kitchen.   The 'plan' is to be 'active' tomorrow.    Right now I'm going to make a cuppa and take the pills.

22.00    I've been reading about Prince Andrew and all his self inflicted problems:   having lost all his Titles,  if he loses the 'Prince' bit, he could be known as 'Drew' Windsor.   It's a friendly kind o' name.

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.
