Lovely morning ....



15th November 2025 (Saturday)     We had a sunny start to Saturday, but a whole lot of clouds

have drifted over in the past hour and it now looks like we could have showers.    I went for a paper, then down to the harbour  to take a few 'today' photos .  There's a chilly breeze but I was well wrapped up and didn't find it overly cauld at the harbour.    I came home by way of Kinneuchar and Colinsburgh, to fuel up the car.   

Colinsburgh Main Street is looking very smart after being resurfaced and relined etc.   It looked to me that the 'parking'  bays have been made slightly wider to accommodate the new wider cars.    Maybe it's just because the lines are new and more noticeable.    It could be tricky taking a big grain lorry through Colinsburgh.

 When I think of Colinsburgh Main Street 70 years ago, with only a few carts in the whole village, compared to now.  However, that is progress:  and has happened, not only in Colinsburgh, but throughout the all of the  villages, towns and cities in the UK.   And the World!   No wonder the Planet is struggling to cope with us.   Mother Earth can support us;  but we have to begin taking an holistic approach to how we treat 'Her'.

16.00    I thought about up to the golf course in the afternoon but it has been too chilly for me wandering about.   Anyway I had things to do on the computer.   There has been a lot of people going up and down Ferry Road so 'The Ferry' is busy:  and this would normally be a quiet time of year.

20.00   I was looking for something to watch on the tele in the afternoon, and...  I ended up watching a game of football on BBC Alba!   East Fife v Stenhousemuir.    I've never been to 'The New Bayview' to watch East Fife:  and the last time I went to the 'Auld Bayview,' (it's now housing)  Charlie Fleming was playing for East Fife.  The whole of today's game was on TV,  and East Fife won 1 - 0.    The players were excited with their win!    
Actually East Fife are third or fourth in the Division that they play in.   It's good that the BBC show the less known, local teams.    The Bayview pitch looked like there had been a shower of snow;  and the clouds that have been around this afternoon, had the look of 'snow' clouds about them.    It certainly was cold enough.

I met Dave when up Elie;  it has been a while since I've seen him.    We had a good chat about our how
we are still running around (that could be fake news in my case) and enjoying being ... well ...'us'!   
Dave is fitter than I am, and was hurrying home to get Joyce's breakfast ready! .... (that might de fake news too).

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.
