Nice morrrrrrrning ....

25th November 2025 (Tuesday)       09.30 .....  There's a chilly air, but It's a lovely morning to be

out and about.    I hung out the washing before breakfast, and doing that that was cold on the hands.   There's only a light breeze (NW) but it (the washing) should be dry by the end of the day.   I haven't a 'plan' for today, but will probably have a run in the car after morning coffee time.  I'd also like to have a short walk;  perhaps to Nana's Seat.    At the moment the temperature is 2C after an overnight low of 1.2C so the air slowly warming up.   

19.00    I've been a busy boy today;  well, busier than I have been for the past few days!    I decided, when having morning coffee, that I'd take 'The Buggy' out.   The temperature at the time was only 4.1C, but I'd wrap myself  up and  have a turn 'roond the Ferry'.   When I was finished with that I'd put 'The Buggy' on charge.

The heaviest thing that has to be done when taking 'The Buggy' oot is getting the ramp in place;  but that's just good exercise;  albeit heavy exercise!    It only takes a few minutes to get everything ready, including me getting myself warmly wrapped up.   
'Liberty'
The Buggy is actually quite warm to sit in because the lower part of the body is sheltered.    My hands were cauld, but I can sort that with normal gloves.   This morning I thought |I'd need finger-less gloves for the controls, but I thing ordinary gloves would do 

I went East as fad as 'The Old Dairy' before 'birlin' roond, and heading back to the Ferry.

When I got as far up the High Street as Turret Lodge, I went down Castwell Wynd to the beach, then Eastwards to Cadger's Wynd and back up to the High Street.   The Buggy copes with the rougher terrain fine, but I have to take is easy.   Anyway this gets me down to the beach.   The next time I'm out I'll try Glover's Wynd;  it's a wee bit steeper (for coming back up)but she will manage that fine I' m sure.

I eventually reached Chapel Green,  said 'Hello' to'The Boss' (and got a load o' instructions).   I'm
going to try to get round to Jim's Seat next time I'm at Chapel Green.   The path round to Jim's is rough because of moles burrowing a few years ago.    Anyway I'll have a go sometime soon.

It's chilly out tonight;  might even be a touch of frost by morning time.   I am hoping to make an appointment to have my haircut sometime soon.   Being 'under the weather' prevented me form having it done last week.

Quiet 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.
