Light cloud .....

26th November 2025 (Wednesday)     09.15 ....  We had a bright sunrise but sine then the sky has

clouded over, and light rain is forecast.    I'm going to Lorraine's to make an appointment to have my haircut;   a badly needed haircut I might add!   

It's a nice morning, not as cold as it was yesterday, and less windy so little wind chill.    I need another cuppa before going up to Elie.

15.30    Having had my haircut haircut, I am feeling in an 'almost playful' mood.    Which is a bit of a bummer because the weather (the light rain that was forecast), is not of the 'going out to play' kind.   It's actually really dreich now,   Anyway I've had my haircut, and feel much better for it.

When up at Lorraine's I went then 'paper shop' to get  a paper, and a few bits and pieces.   I didn't go to the harbour, but did remember to get a paper.   Two papers in fact, because I bought the East Fife Mail.   It's a day for reading papers.  

This is 'Budget Day' in the UK so I decided to watch that.   When I woke up, (about an hour later), I couldn't believe that I'd fallen asleep.   However I had.   Since then, and after a mug o' coffee, I have had a look at the general opinion of those that know about those things.   As far as I can see it's more or less as had been leaked over the past few weeks.      

That is an horrific fire in Hing Kong;  when I first saw it on the News I thought it was 'fake news' generated by AI.


19.30     The top photie was taken today;  the other two were taken 11 years ago.   I had the camera with me in Elie but it was damp and bitterly cold by then so I never took it out of the car.

I've had a restful day;  after the busy day I had yesterday itb was what I needed.   Having just seen the

weather forecast for tomorrow, I don't think it's going to be a 'play day'.  'Light rain with a freshening wind' is  forecast.   I think it is going to be considerably warmer than it was today!

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.
