Nice morning ....



10th November 2025 (Monday)      07.45 .... We've had some rain overnight, but the sky,

although mostly cloudy, has some clearer patched.   'Light rain' is forecast' so I'm looking for sunny spells later in the afternoon.

I'm ready for the trip to Kirkcaldy... and even remembered my hearing aids.    Ans the car keys.   I'm feeling 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' this morning.    It has taken a while but the good news is;   I think the bug has gone.

19.00     This has been a busy day;  and an interesting one.   Sandy came for me at 09.00, we then went to Alice's where we had a cuppa, before going on to the Victoria Hospital.  Sandy dropped us off at the hospital (in plenty of time) then went off home.   

I got booked in, then Alice and I walked from Main Reception to the scanning dept, where patients are injected with thee radio active stuff.   We then had three hours to wait before the actual scan.   We passed that time in the Costa Cafe;  where we had morning tea and passed the time chatting.   As well as tea I was drinking copious amounts of water to flush the injected stuff through me.   All that was followed by lunch (toastie) then back for the scan.  That took 24 minutes, and we then wandered out of the hospital, and round to the bus stop.   We did a lot of walking!   Which is probably why I am tired now. 

The car?   I remembered to hand in the keys and , on the way home, saw it moored up in the garage area.   I'll phone tomorrow and find out when it will be ready.

We ended up on, what appeared to be the tourist route, on the way back to Leven by bus:  travelling

through different bits of Kirkcaldy, Buckhaven and Methil.   The bus felt like it had solid tyres (or no suspension) and, going by the noise of the engine, we should have been moving much faster... and vertically.   

Alice was brilliant today.... and I really appreciated her being there.   And a big "thank you" to Sandy who got me to my appointment on time.

It has been an eventful day, but I think tomorrow will have to be a 'rest day'.  I have phone get a date to have the boiler serviced;  that might be the extent of the 'work'!

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.
