Lovely morning .....

16th November 2025    "Happy Birthday" to 'Sorley' who is 1 today!

11.30 .... It's a bonnie, wall to wall sunshine, kind of morning;  but it is chilly.    
It was only 4.9C when I checked the patio thermometer half an hour ago.   There's only a light breeze so hardly any wind chill, so he air doesn't feel as cold as it was yesterday.

I went to Elie for the paper, then to the harbour:  and was surprised to find it busy.   One of the skiffs  (Sea Queen) was out, and some hardy folk in for a swim  The swimmers were making for the sauna when I saw them.  

The Cafe, "Elie Coffee Hatch", at the Sailing Club was 'open', and I thought of having a coffee;  but the skiff was being rowed round from Woodhaven Bay to Elie Bay, and I wanted photographs of it.    The 'plan'? .... make a mug o' coffee now,  then have a look at today's photies.

17.00    There's a wintry feel to the air tonight;  there could be frost inland ....  maybe even if Fife, if the sky remains clear..  Although cold, this has been a bonnie 'play' day.   When at the at the harbour I had a we wander around, but that was all.   

I did a washing;  and that will be  ironed in the evening, when watching something exciting on the tele.

After a warm looking sunset it should be another bonnie day tomorrow;  and a cold one.  There's only a light breeze forecast  (NW) so very little wind chill.   I might make a start at tidying out 'The Hutte'.   There's still a lot of stuff from the shed in The Hutte ,and, of the two chairs there's only one that can actually be sat in! 

The thermometer got up to 9.7C this afternoon.   When I checked it 5 minutes ago it was 5.4C 

  19.40    The only 'plan' for 'tomorrow is the sorting out of 'The Hutte'.   That will be done over a few mornings.   It will be sheltered from the NW breeze.

It's time I had my 'orlicks;  and an early night bed after a fairly busy, and enjoyable, day.

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.
