Balmy and overcast ....

4th November 2025 (Tuesday)     10.15 ..... I decided to have a walk up to the phone  box, and

contemplating doing the 'Rotten Row' walk but it began to rain.   I took a few photies then scampered(?) home.   I think the rain should clear away to give us 'sunny spells' by midday.    There's no wind and it's warm so we could end up with a nice afternoon.    The Fife Weather cams show a clearing sky to the West of Lochgelly.

18.45    It stopped raining around midday, and we had a nice afternoon.    It was good to see the sun after what had been a wet morning.

I did a few chores around Ivy when it was raining;  including hooverin' up my tae nail clippins.    By this time I was ready for lunch.   It was a lite bite lunch because I was looking forward to sausages and mash for dinner.    The 'after lunch siesta' lasted for 45 minutes.   I was well ready for a warm cuppa when I woke up.

Now that we had sunny spells I thought I'd go for  run in the car;  and ended up going to Ainster, and dropping in to the 'Store' when I was there anyway.   I bought a 4 pack o' flee cemeteries' (fruit slices), and that was the only goodie that fell into my trolley.   The shop was quiet with no queue at the till.

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.
