Heavy rain ....


18th November 2025 (Tuesday)     11.30 ....  I'm late with 'The Hutte ....not because I've been 

malingering or anything like that;  I've been busy.     The 'Master Plan' was to go to Lorraine's, and make an appointment to get my haircut.   However Lorraine isn't working today, so that was the end of that 'plan'.   By this time I was 'fired up', and in the mood to do something;  I took a couple of wet looking photographs in Elie!   Then I made up my mind to go to 'The Store';  it was, at that time, a good kind of day for wandering round a shop! .... and  I''d stop at the 'Paper Shop' on the way home.

'The Store'was quiet, not surprising on a morning like is has been.   Anyway, I wandered round the shop bought  a fair amount of vital needed foodstuff;  and some vitally needed ... er .... 'goodies'.  On the way home I noticed that the rain wasn't as heavy as it was on the way along.    In fact the sky is starting to brighten and we should have dry afternoon.... with sunny spells.    Carole (the weather lassie) didn't mention sunny spells;  but I'm feeling, in the mood for 'sunny spells'.  The paper?..... I completely forgot about that!

16.30    Sunny spells? .... the sky brightened a bit and the rain stopped for a wee while in the middle of the day; but that was it.... no sunny spells!  The rain came back in the middle of the afternoon, and we now have a dreich evening.    Forget the rain! .... it's going to move away overnight to give us a cold and sunny Wednesday.    As a matter of interest, the thermometer only got up to 6.2C today

I never went out with the camera this afternoon, but, I took a load of sunny photographs yesterday.   The top one is 'Today'.... the other two taken 'Yesterday'. 

19.30    It's wet and cold out tonight (I've been at the bin;  and it's to be cold again tomorrow but at least it will be dry and sunny.   I'm really tired tonight, after a fairly busy day;  and the weather has been mostly heavy rain/sleet... and slightly depressing.    

Scotland play Denmark at Hampden tonight;  a game that might see them qualify for the 2026 World

Cup.   The game is on the tele so I'll watch that.   It's a long time since Scotland qualified for the World Cup  (1998).  That said I'll probably fall asleep.

I'm going to have a mug o' coffee,to waken me up before the football.

22.30   Scotland are through to the 2026 World Cup!.... they beat Denmark 4 - 2 in the end, but I'm a "bag o'nerves" watchin' them.   All the goals were good ones (aye, even the Danish goals) but Scotland's first was out of this world.  They did us proud, but dinnae make it easy for their supporters!   Now we can really start dreamim'!

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.
