Nice morning ....

17th November 2025 Monday)     09.30 .... We have a 'wall to wall' sunny sky just now, with a

light breeze.   The temperature is 5.5C after an overnight low of 1.0C;  and, although chilly, it's really pleasant in the sunshine.  This could be a play day; ....after another cuppa (or two).   

10.30    The golf course was busier than I thought it would be, when I went round The Ferry in the car. 

It is definitely a 'play day';  and I might get The Buggy 'out  in the middle of the day.   I want to do a wee bit o' 'work' before 'play'.   I'll see how the mood takes me after morning coffee.

16.30    It has been a lovely, bright sunny day, albeit a chilly one.   The thermometer only got up to 6.2C, but, with the breeze being light there was very little wind chill, or it might have felt really cold.    The golfers were well wrapped up;  as I was,  and I was in the car. 

I went out to the gate, to have a browse up and down Ferry Road, before lunch, and saw Vince coming up from the beach;  he told that there was a ship in the bay.   Instead of getting the buggy out, I had a wander to Nana's Seat.   The bow was face on to the beach so I got a few photies, went back to Ivy;  grabbed the car keys, louped into the car, and went up to Chapel Green to get some better angle shots.  Then it was lunch time!

I had a sandwich lunch: nippy sausage slices with some kind of skinny cheese;  it was very tasty.   I'll find out the fancy name when I put dinner in the oven.   

Now having a quiet, and non wrinkled 'puku' (Maori for stomach),  I was in the mood to do a wee bit to 'The Hutte'.    But only after a cuppa and a short siesta.

When I woke up, 45 minutes or so later, I put a cold cuppa into the microwave for 40 seconds, and  was

soon in the mood for 'work'.    Actually that (the work) didn't take long (mostly because I didn't do much), but the little I did made me happy!   Anyway it was turning colder 'out';   'in' would be warmer, and I wanted to browse today's batch of photies.   And have a  fresh cuppa.   Microwave tea is hot, but not quite perfect!

The golf course was still busy when was out in the afternoon.   Mind you, it was a perfect day for golf.   And for being 'out and about' in the sunshine.... as long as you were wrapped up warm.

23.15    This is late for me going to bed:  I found a 'Midsomer Murder' that I haven't seen before (and I've most of them at least twice).    Oh well .... I'll probably sleep in tomorrow 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.
