Bright and breezy ....

12th November 2025 (Wednesday)     08.45 ..... There's a chillier air this morning, but it's

dry and we should have sunny spells once the sun is higher.   Actually this could be a good drying day so I'll  do  a washing while waiting for the boiler engineer.   He's due in the afternoon.    Ferry Road is starting to get busy with traffic.    I was thinking of taking  'The Buggy' out but the cold wind has put me off that idea.

17.15    The time given to me for the arrival of the  boiler engineer was 14.30;  and that is 'iggzactly' when he arrived.   That's the best timing ever!    I just left him (actually there might have been two) get on with the job, while I sat down to watch something on the tele.   I was asleep in 'nae time' and only woke up when the engineer called to let me know that he'd finished and needed a signature.   Normally I offer them a cuppa but that didn't happen today.   Anyway the Central Heating is ready for the colder days to come:  they, apparently, arrive tomorrow!  

20.30  The Aurora is going to be bright tonight, but it's cloudy with  heavy rain here so won't be visible.   I'll have a look out before bedtime to see how the sky is, but it certainly isn't very promising looking just now.   Luckily I remembered to bring in the washing just before the rain arrived.   I might do the ironing after this update.

When browsing the Archive I found a batch of folder with photographs captioned  as the two I have used today.    I must have had some 'plan'in mind for them but I can't think of what it was.  The photographs were taken, and captioned,  14 years ago.


I've just had a look at the weather forecast for tomorrow;  the rain we have just now, is to be with us

most of tomorrow.    It will be damp but pollution levels will be low.   That suits me because I'll get the stuff back on the boiler cupboard shelves.   And get some more work done on the computer.

I might get word about the car, and when it will be ready to pick up.    It's a vital necessity in this weather.

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.
