Sunny .....

20th November 2025 (Thursday)      10.00 .... It's a beautiful morning, but cold out.    The

lowest thermometer reading overnight was -0.8C.   It has risen to 1.2C since sunrise;  but I don't think it's going to feel very warm all day.   There's frisky wind from the North so it's bitterly cold exposed to that wind.   I might go for a run in the car later.    We are lucky that the bad weather is missing us (apart from the cold wind).

Apart from a slight headache, the jabs (jab singular actually) haven't bothered me too much.   I've had a litre of water since I got 'up';  now I'm going to have another cuppa.   

16.15   The wind certainly took at least  couple of degrees off the temperature out in the open;  and it only reached 5C  sheltered from the wind.   I went up to Chapel green (in the car) after lunch, then  to Kinneuchar for a wee run.   Most of the day I stayed in and warm:  I closed the living room thermal curtains to keep in the heat.   Other than the early headache the booster jab hasn't affected me much at all today;  but I did have a longer siesta than usual.

The top photograph is of 'The Paddock's housing development in Colinsburgh.   It's a pity they didn't have some of the houses done with darker harling;  the site might then have merged better with the older part of the village.   That said I'm sure that the houses will be nice inside and out.  They are certainly in a bonnie place.  I'm in the mood for a good old moan.

The only 'work' I have done today is sort out the car boot.   The RAC man wanted to see if I had something in the tool kit.   I didn't:  and  I forgot to put the boot 'floor' down.   As I found out when I went shopping the other day!   

22.30    My word.... I've been sleeping well today.    Fatigue is one of the symptom, along with dizziness

and I've had them both today.     I planned on going to bed at 21.30 but fell asleep in front of the tele.    Hopefuly I'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow.

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.
